Description

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order using the Simplified Acquisition Procedures of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13. This is a synopsis (RFQ-DC-01-00270) for services in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.1, as supplemented with additonal information included in this notice and the RFQ. STATEMENT OF WORK: SCOPE -- Volume 9 is the ninth volume in a series of bound volumes of formal legal opinions issued by the Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These formal opinions contain numerous legal citations and footnotes. The contractor should have experience in publishing legal materials. The volume will total approximately 1100 pages in manuscript, consisting of the following: (1) Cover page; (2) Tables (approximately 40 pages); (3) Text pages (approximately 1000 pages in Corel Word Perfect 8, consisting of the 27 formal opinions listed below); (4) Subject index (approximately 30 pages). The format of the text pages, tables, and subject index must exactly match the format of the previously published volumes in the series as to page layouts, fonts, type sizes, placement of materials on the printed page, etc. Copies of pages from a previously published volume are attached as examples of the required format. Final Products (1) Camera copy for volume 9 that meets U.S. Government Printing Office requirements for duplication and binding Page size: 6" x 9-1/6" (per sample) Font: Garamond Point size: Headings: 14 point Bold Text: 10 point Margins: Per sample (2) Camera copy for the cover and spine of volume 9 (3) A PDF file for each of the 27 formal opinions that will appear in the volume, with pagination that is identical to the camera copy (4) A duplicate set of the final page proofs of the text pages (described in Nature of Publication), with pagination identical to the final camera copy, that the EAB can send to a professional indexer for use in creating the tables and subject index for the volume. Publication Schedule 1. EAB will send Contractor the 27 formal opinions (both in manuscript and electronic files) that will comprise the text pages for the volume. Electronic files will be either in Corel Word Perfect 8.0 or PDF, at the Contractor's option. 2. Contractor will provide EAB with sample page proofs for several pages (so that the EAB can review the format) within five working days of receiving the text pages. 3. EAB will return the sample page proofs within three working days after receiving them. 4. Contractor will provide EAB with First Proofs of the text pages within 15 working days after OK of sample page proofs. 5. EAB will note corrections and revisions on First Proofs and will return the first Proofs within 10 working days after receiving them. 6. EAB will require the Contractor to revise up to several hundred case citations. EAB has noted a large percentage of these required revisions in pencil on the manuscript versions of the opinions but expects the Contractor to make these revisions on the electronic versions of the opinions. The EAB will be unable to mark all of the revisions until the final pagination of the volume is fixed, since the page references for these revisions will not be known until the final pagination of the volume is fixed. The Contractor may elect to make the revisions that EAB has already marked on the manuscript versions of the opinions before sending First Page Proofs to the EAB or may wait and make all of the revisions at the same time after the EAB has provided the remaining revised citations to the Contractor. 7. Contractor will provide Second Page Proofs within 10 working days after return of First Page Proofs. 8. Contractor will provide any Additional Proofs, as necessary, within 5 working days after return of previous page proofs. 9. Contractor will provide a duplicate set of the Final Page Proofs that the EAB can send to its professional legal indexer. (The first set of Final Page Proofs will be returned to the Contractor with the EAB's approval to create camera copy.) 10. EAB will send the Contractor the tables, and subject index (comprising approximately 70 pages), both on disk and in manuscript, and the text of the cover and spine, in manuscript, sometime after the EAB has approved Final Page Proofs of the text pages.. 11. Contractor will send First Page Proofs of the spine, contents page, tables, and subject indexer to the EAB within 15 working days after receiving them from the EAB, and will send any subsequent page proofs to the EAB within 10 working days of receiving the page proofs back from the EAB.
