E-MAIL: Submit sample documents and express interest in receiving, rfp_at_~cfo-ojs@ccmail.dcgov.org. This is a request for expressions of interest in a requirement of the Chief Financial Officer of the District of Columbia, on behalf of a D.C. agency, for a contractor to develop a department-wide Public Assistance Cost Allocation Plan (PACAP) and an associated Indirect Cost Rate Proposal (ICRP) for various agencies of the D.C. Department of Health. The PACAP must comply with the Federal Government's Office of Management and Budget circular A-87, and the contractor will participate in its implementation. The requirement calls for a contractor analysis of funding streams, a comparison of the current ICRP against new federal guidelines, an evaluation of the potential for increased direct charging, and an evaluation of the capability to support increased automation. The ICRP portion requires the development by the contractor of new indirect cost rates, identification and development of the means to insure maximum prospective recovery of indirect costs through Federally funded programs, and means to make equitable distribution of central service costs to operating departments. The contractor is to also assist in negotiating final approval of the revised PACAP and the indirect cost rates with the Federal Department of Health and Human Services, to which the proposals must be submitted. Also required is the development of a Random Moment Sample and the provision of associated training for its implementation. The solicitation, once issued (ca. mid May) will be distributed to firms i) who establish that one of their normal lines of business is provision of such developmental work on similar health related proposals for States of the union which also submit PACAPs to the DHHS, and ii) can show this experience by submitting a copy of a prior contract (less standard clauses) which they have successfully completed. To express interest, please send an email message to the address listed under "Contact Points" above, by the deadline time and date shown at item 10. The contract copy referred to above is to be dispatched by US Postal Service Express or Priority Mail service with a postmark no later than the deadline date above, to: DC Chief Financial Officer, ATTN: Office of Purch. & Contr., Suite 410, 441 4th St NW, Washington DC 20001.
