VALOR Accommodations Statement of Work 4404DR – Super Typhoon Yutu

Title of Project: Lodging Accommodations for VALOR Volunteers

Scope of Work: Contractor shall provide lodging for up to 32 people on the island of Saipan for VALOR volunteers repairing homes for Super Typhoon Yutu response.

Background: On October 26, 2018, the President issued a major disaster declaration for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands as a result of Super Typhoon Yutu. With few sheltering or transitional housing options, many survivors are sheltering in place in damaged and potentially unsafe dwellings. The Voluntary Agencies Leading and Organizing Repairs (VALOR) program has been authorized to support approved nonprofit organizations in making emergency repairs to these damaged dwellings. Due to a lack of available local labor to make such repairs, skilled volunteers are being recruited from member agencies of National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD). Invitational travel is being extended to these volunteers to cover their travel expenses to make home repairs in CNMI. Volunteer work crews will deploy on two week rotations maintaining a target labor force of 30 volunteers. So the number and configuration of volunteers will change on a weekly basis.
