- Description
- THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. NO SOLICITATION IS BEING ISSUED AT THIS TIME. REQUESTS FOR A SOLICITATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. Executive Summary FEMA is committed to having residential damage inspectors to start inspections for disaster survivors immediately after a disaster declaration. FEMA is working toward a technological solution that will assist with the residential damage inspection process; however, the current process for this requires a number of human resources to be ready, able and properly adjudicated to respond immediately after a disaster declaration to collect residential damage inspection information. Preparedness Overview FEMA is interested from an industry perspective the feasibility to have access to an inspector staffing cadre to perform twenty thousand (20,000) inspections of residential disaster damaged homes per day. The 20,000 inspections completed per day are defined as the "full rate of production". Each inspection task requires the Contractor to start completing and returning inspections to FEMA using the "First In - First Out" process. All inspections are required to be completed and returned to FEMA within five (5) days of the inspection issue date. FEMA is looking for creative responses that can produce damage housing inspectors. FEMA is interested in a solution from industry with a business model that has an expanding capability to provide inspectors. FEMA would like to explore the possibilities that each contractor can deliver thirty-five hundred (3,500) trained and adjudicated inspectors that can be deployed without any post disaster exceptions to perform inspections. Immediately following receipt of a declaration, the contractor and FEMA shall determine the number of inspectors to be deployed which shall depend upon the size of the disaster. However, inspector team(s) shall be deployed immediately or prior to all disaster declarations. FEMA is interested from an industry perspective the feasibility for the Government to engage with private industry partners who would provide a Project Manager and minimal mission staff to perform inspection task orders. Submission Interested parties should provide a brief written response and description of potential approaches for review by the Government by Noon, EST October 7, 2011. Responses to this RFI shall be emailed to Michelle.Calhoun@dhs.gov. Any information submitted by respondents to this RFI is strictly voluntary. This RFI does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), nor does its issuance restrict the Government's ultimate acquisition approach. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this notice, nor pay for any information that is submitted by respondents to this RFI.
