Specifically, Offerors will be asked to: • Support the government in assessing project risk as well as fund-recipient compliance and performance; • Draft reports with documenting project status, successes, and identified concerns; • Recognize and document successful practices; • Provide assistance to address identified concerns; • Identify long-term opportunities for training and technical assistance; and • Track aggregate data to report on program successes and outcomes. These activities will be performed as part of the Federal Railroad Administration's oversight and technical assistance program through a combination of remote, routine communication with grant recipients, as well as desk-based and on-site monitoring.
