STATEMENT OF WORK BPHC LENDER COORDINATOR SERVICES JULY 1, 2014 I. BACKGROUND Congress has appropriated funds that will remain available until expended for Federal guarantees of loans made by non-Federal lenders for health centers funded under section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. These health centers, which are community controlled nonprofit or public entities, provide primary health care services for medically underserved populations. The approximately 1,100 organizations that receive section 330 funding are located in urban and rural communities throughout the Nation. Since their inception, health centers have encountered difficulty in obtaining loans for building and equipment projects. While individual health centers across the country have taken advantage of successful local, state and nationally based financing programs, many other health centers have not been so fortunate. In addition, access to capital for the development of health center owned and controlled managed care networks and plans has generally been available at venture capital rates, if at all. To help health centers thrive so that more vulnerable and underserved people receive quality care, funds have been appropriated to enable health centers to access capital previously unavailable or available only at high rates of interest by partially guaranteeing loans made by non-Federal lenders. The appropriated funds are administered through two different loan guarantee programs to enable guarantees of up to $70 million of total loan principal for health center facilities as well as networks and plans controlled and owned by health centers. Under the Loan Guarantee Program (LGP) for Health Center Facility Projects, authorized by Title XVI of the PHS Act, guarantees may be provided for up to 80 percent of the loan amount for construction, renovation and modernization of medical facilities that are owned and operated by health centers. Under the LGP for Health Center Networks and Plans, authorized by section 330(d) of the PHS Act, guarantees may be provided for up to 90 percent of the loan principal amount for health centers to develop, operate, and own networks and plans. Title XVI of the PHS Act authorizes facility loans and loan guarantees; however, appropriations were not made until Fiscal Years (FY) 1997 and 1998 to use the authorization to support the LGP for Health Center Facility Projects. The LGP for Health Center Networks and Plans was created by section 330(d) PHS Act in 1996. The appropriations made available in FY 1997 and FY 1998 of $8,000,000 and $6,000,000 respectively were no-year money for the BPHC to guarantee loans through the two loan guarantee programs. The Appropriations Committee did not specify amounts for each program, but stipulated that the total of the two appropriations was for both programs. The two loan guarantee programs described above are administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC). II. PURPOSE The contractor shall provide all labor and materials for transaction management to assist the Bureau of Primary Health Care with the administration of the Loan Guarantee Program. The BPHC Loan Guarantee Program allows health centers thrive so that more vulnerable and underserved people receive quality care. The Lender Coordinator will assist BPHC's LGP in processing applications, completing reviews and provide legal services. This will ensure that the LGP enables health centers to grow and modernize, assisting underprivileged and underserved communities throughout the United States. III.

The overall total score will be rounded to the nearest whole number to assign an appropriate adjectival rating (0 = Unsatisfactory, 1 = Poor, 2 = Fair, 3 = Good, 4 = Excellent, 5 = Outstanding).The elements being rated are as follows: i. Quality of Product or Service Unsatisfactory- Non-conformances is jeopardizing the achievement of contract requirements, despite use of Agency resources. Recovery is not likely. If performance cannot be substantially corrected, it constitutes a significant impediment in consideration for future awards containing similar requirements. Poor - Overall compliance requires significant Agency resources to ensure achievement of contract requirements. Fair - Overall compliance requires minor Agency resources to ensure achievement of contract requirements. Good - There are no, or very minimal, quality problems, and the Contractor has met the contract requirements. Excellent - There are no quality issues, and the Contractor has substantially exceeded the contract performance requirements without commensurate additional costs to the Government. Outstanding - The contractor has demonstrated an outstanding performance level that was significantly in excess of anticipated achievements and is commendable as an example for others, so that it justifies adding a point to the score. It is expected that this rating will be used in those rare circumstances where contractor performance clearly exceeds the performance levels described as "Excellent". ii. Cost Control Unsatisfactory - Ability to manage cost issues is jeopardizing performance of contract requirements, despite use of Agency resources. Recovery is not likely. If performance cannot be substantially corrected, this level of ability to manage cost issues constitutes a significant impediment in consideration for future awards. Poor - Ability to manage cost issues requires significant Agency resources to ensure achievement of contract requirements. Fair - Ability to control cost issues requires minor Agency resources to ensure achievement of contract requirements. Good - There are no, or very minimal, cost management issues and the Contractor has met the contract requirements. Excellent - There are no cost management issues and the Contractor has exceeded the contract requirements, achieving cost savings to the Government. Outstanding - The contractor has demonstrated an outstanding performance level that justifies adding a point to the score. It is expected that this rating will be used in those rare circumstances where the contractor achieved cost savings and performance clearly exceeds the performance levels described as "Excellent". iii. Timeliness of Performance Unsatisfactory-Delays are jeopardizing the achievement of contract requirements, despite use of Agency resources. Recovery is not likely. If performance cannot be substantially corrected, it constitutes a significant impediment in consideration for future awards. Poor-Delays require significant Agency resources to ensure achievement of contract requirements. Fair-Delays require minor Agency resources to ensure achievement of contract requirements. Good-There are no, or minimal, delays that impact achievement of contract requirements. Excellent-There are no delays and the contractor has exceeded the agreed upon time schedule. Outstanding-The contractor has demonstrated an outstanding performance level that justifies adding a point to the score. It is expected that this rating will be used in those rare circumstances where contractor performance clearly exceeds the performance levels described as "Excellent". iv. Business Relations Unsatisfactory-Response to inquiries and/or technical, service, administrative issues is not effective. If not substantially mitigated or corrected it should constitute a significant impediment in considerations for future awards. Poor - Response to inquiries and/or technical, service, administrative issues is marginally effective. Fair-Response to inquiries and/or technical, service, administrative issues is somewhat effective. Good-Response to inquiries and/or technical, service, administrative issues is consistently effective. Excellent-Response to inquiries and/or technical, service, administrative issues exceeds Government expectation. Outstanding-The contractor has demonstrated an outstanding performance level that justifies adding a point to the score. It is expected that this rating will be used in those rare circumstances where contractor performance clearly exceeds the performance levels described as "Excellent". Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available; the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. If such a circumstance exists, the maximum number of points the offeror may receive for its technical proposal is 95 and the technical proposal will be evaluated on a scale of 0 to 95. If such a circumstance exists, all technical proposal scores will be converted to a percentage of the total points possible according to the applicable rating scale. The evaluation will be based on the demonstrated capabilities of the prospective contractor in relation to the needs of the project as set forth in the RFQ. The merits of the proposal will be evaluated carefully. The technical factors are significantly more important than price. The following criteria and assigned weight for each criterion will be applied in the evaluation of your Technical Proposal: Evaluation Criteria Points Understanding the Scope of Work 40 Technical Approach 30 Management Plan 25 Past Performance 5 Total 100 All offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items (MAY 2014), with its offer.
