Introduction

The Cross-Trustee Implementation Group Monitoring and Adaptive Management work group (“Cross-TIG MAM”) is a working group established and directed by the Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment Trustee Council. The Cross-TIG MAM will assist the Trustee Council and the TIGs with their monitoring and adaptive management obligations. This work group will encourage compatibility of monitoring and data procedures and serve as a forum for the TIGs to collectively address MAM topics relevant to multiple TIGs. The group may also support the TIGs and Implementing Trustees, upon request, in meeting their MAM responsibilities. The Cross-TIG MAM work group has no independent authority to act except when directed by the Trustee Council. The Cross-TIG MAM work group will provide recommendations to the Trustee Council regarding MAM responsibilities, procedures and guidelines, and it will operate on a consensus basis.

IEc’s Additional Notes

IEc anticipates providing these services on a time and materials basis. This time and materials price estimate reflects our current understanding of the desired support task and is subject to revision if conditions related to the Support Task Assignment Scope of Services change. IEc intends to manage this effort to the overall ceiling price. Based upon the effective date of our agreement, we assume that Original Term year 1 rates will apply to the period from January 29, 2026 – June 30, 2026.

IEc’s price proposal is based upon IEc’s reasonable expectation of the labor categories required to respond to the technical requirements delineated within this Statement of Work. The labor categories included in this price proposal are appropriate to implement the Statement of Work. While this estimate reflects the mix we intend to use for the work, unforeseen circumstances can arise and we may also utilize additional labor categories contained in FWC Agreement 25189. We respectfully request to be reimbursed at the appropriate labor category for any staff who participate on the task assignment.

The corresponding hourly rates are firm, fixed fully-loaded hourly rates. These rates do not include project expenses such as travel and lodging, or materials and equipment. IEc does not anticipate that any other direct costs or materials will be required for this work and therefore our budget does not include these items.

IEc will seek preauthorization of travel expenses required to support the Statement of Work and will seek reimbursement for incurred travel costs.

Upon request, IEc will provide documentation supporting costs incurred on a task order basis. IEc invoices shall include unit description (e.g., labor category), number of units incurred (e.g., number of labor hours) and price per unit (e.g., labor category rate). IEc shall maintain, for inspection, files documenting costs incurred and files directly pertaining to performance under this purchase order.
