Description

Request for Quotations The U. S.

When listing these qualifications, please identify staff experience in working with public water systems (PWSs) , either as a consultant or as a PWS operator. Please also list all relevant degrees that the staff may have. (2) A statement of staff availability. EPA is particularly interested in knowing how much lead time a contractor would need to respond to individual work requests. It is important that those submitting quotations be able to visit a site on very short notice, particularly when problems, such as bacterial contamination, should arise at a PWS facility. (3) The fully-loaded hourly rate(s) of the staff person(s) who would do the work. Under this contract, billing will be done as hourly rates plus expenses. All indirect costs and administrative costs must be folded into the hourly rate. Expenses are limited to those incurred by the field staff while performing their duties, or in the preparation and delivery of contract reports (such as xeroxing, photo development, and postage) (4) A list of any public water systems that the contractor currently retains as a client. Also, please note which staff currently act as PWS operators for any Wyoming public water system. (NOTE: This information will not necessarily disqualify a candidate from consideration). The full package should be no more than 20 pages in length. Please submit this information to Maureen Martin at the address listed below. U. S. EPA, Region VIII (8TMS-G) 999 18th Street, Suite 300 Denver, CO 80202-2466 The deadline for submittal is 4 pm on Friday December 15, 2000.

(As mentioned in Item # 2 above, it is imperative that the contractors be able to respond quickly in the event of an emergency at a public water system.) Awards will be made based on price and best value. To determine best value, EPA will evaluate the quotations using the following criteria: (1) Technical expertise (2) Geographic location of field staff (3) Familiarity with the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (40 CFR Part 141) (4) Ability to respond to individual work requests in a timely manner (5) The proposed hourly rate and associated expenses (6) Past performance, for those contractors who have completed tasks in this Statement of Work under previous contracts; or past performance on other similar kinds of work.
