The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded a $35 million multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to David Evans and Associates, Inc. (DEA), a large engineering and planning firm, to provide Project Management Oversight (PMO) services. Under this IDV, DEA has been issued several delivery orders to support the FTA's PMO Program, which aims to standardize major transit grant administration through contractor monitoring, reviews, and technical assistance on infrastructure investments.

Task orders issued to DEA under this BOA include providing PMO services for FTA Region II related to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey PATH & MTA Transportation Hub project ($13 million), assisting with compliance of FTA insurance requirements for Hurricane Sandy funding recipients ($418,000), and overseeing projects such as the Sacramento Streetcar and CAD/AVL equipment replacement ($255,000 total). The contracted services are typically cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements, with work to be performed primarily in Portland, Oregon, where DEA is headquartered. This IDV does not utilize any small business set-asides, reflecting DEA's capabilities as a large, experienced federal contractor.

Such support includes contractors performing services, delivering products and producing outcomes that are derived from, based upon, or contain: (1) sufficient quantities of reliable, relevant and useful contractor or third party data and information (2) properly structured and clearly identified contractors professional opinion, and analysis (3) personnel performing services only in areas of their demonstrated competence and (4) quantitative techniques that meet or exceed FTA s requirements.
