Performance Work Statement (PWS)

Basic Allowance for Housing Data Collection and Analysis Services

1.0 INTRODUCTION The Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) requires Contractor services to collect and furnish rental housing cost data for approximately 300 separate housing markets, identified as Military Housing Areas (MHAs) in the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. The number of MHAs to be considered during performance could range from 250 to 350 annually (See Appendices 1 and 2). An MHA includes rental markets surrounding a duty station or a metropolitan area. The principal goal of defining an MHA around a duty station is that service members should receive a Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) sufficient to permit the typical member to live a reasonable distance from his or her duty station.

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 In accordance with United States Code, Title 37, Chapter 7, Section 403, the Secretary of Defense shall establish the BAH rates that are applicable for the various MHAs in the United States. The BAH program measures rental-housing costs in the civilian market rather than measuring how much service members spend on housing. This approach prevents the downward spiral in allowances that was experienced during the previous program, known as the Basic Allowance for Quarters and Variable Housing Allowance (BAQ/VHA), where many service members scrimped on housing and then reported low housing expenditures; which drove down already low allowances. The BAH program was designed to provide more accurate housing allowances based on the market price of rental housing rather than member-reported rents, thereby ensuring a better correlation between allowance payments and rental prices.

2.2 BAH is a U.S. based allowance determined by geographic duty location, pay grade, and dependency status. It provides uniformed service members equitable housing compensation based on housing costs in local civilian housing markets within the United States when government quarters are not provided. The BAH payments made under this program are entitlements that enable service members to afford adequate housing within a reasonable distance of their duty locations. The BAH program results in total annual payments to service members in excess of $20 billion. Due to the high visibility of the BAH Program, it is imperative that the yearly housing allowances be based on a data collection and analysis effort that is thorough, accurate, verifiable and well-documented.

3.0 SCOPE The Contractor shall provide all personnel, management, equipment, training, and supplies necessary to collect, analyze and provide rental housing cost data to the DTMO that will serve to establish BAH rates annually for each MHA.

4.0 REQUIREMENTS The Contractor shall:

4.1 Collect and analyze rental housing cost data for MHAs. Use standard methodology in collecting and analyzing data to ensure data accuracy and compatibility for housing units available for rent between 1 April and 1 September, and in the case of units in complexes have a rent amount up-to-date between those timeframes. An availability window of 1 February to 1 September may be used for certain locations with agreement from DTMO.

4.1.1 Collect housing costs for specific types of rental units, as specified in para 4.5.1, at each MHA location to include separate data covering average utilities (i.e. electricity, gas, oil, other heating fuel, water and sewer).

4.1.2 Collect data representative of specific neighborhoods, as defined by sets of ZIP Codes and Census Tracts specified by the Government. All rental housing data shall be verified and apply to recent rentals only. Recent is within 6 weeks of the data collection.

4.2 Provide analyzed data and support information, reports, and presentations using the formats specified in paragraph 5.0.

4.3 Complete the below listed Phases in the timeframes indicated.

Phase 1 1 November – 15 April Preparation for Data Collection Phase 2 1 February – 31 October Data Collection Effort

4.4 Phase 1 - Preparation for Data Collection

4.4.1 Attend yearly kickoff meeting. IAW PWS paragraph 7.0, the Contractor shall meet the DTMO at the Mark Center in Mark Center Drive, Alexandria, VA, and review expectations and requirements of the contract for the contract year. At the meeting the Contractor shall provide an Annual Plan that includes a management plan of the anticipated tasks, workflow, milestones and deadlines and an outline of the anticipated data collection plan.

4.4.2 Map MHAs. Provide interactive maps of Military Housing Areas (MHA) in an electronic format. Maps provided may be one map file, or multiple files, but mus clearly show the MHA in sufficient detail to identify separate housing units, zip codes, counties and be inclusive of typical map features, such as map scale, legends, and labeled streets/landmarks. The Government currently uses Microsoft MapPoint 2010.

4.4.3 Implement, and annually update, the Data Collection Plan which details the tasks, workflow, methods, and milestone schedule for the data collection. Plan updates and sources for data collection shall be coordinated with the DTMO.

4.4.3.1 Provide a Data Collection Plan. The Data collection plan shall describe how each PWS task/subtask will be accomplished in terms of staff roles and functions. The Data Collection plan shall provide details on the development and access to an extensive database containing housing cost data for several hundred locations in the United States, and to verify the housing cost data independently, ensuring accurate, reliable, consistent data and deliverables. The data collection plan shall cover the following topics:

4.4.3.2 Description of the issues addressed in the research design (e.g., sample size, confidence and margin of error, sample stability).

4.4.3.3 Plan for acquiring listings from Military Housing Offices (MHOs). Alist of MHOs will be provided after contract award.

4.4.3.4 Plan for acquiring all other proposed sources of rental data.

4.4.3.5 Source and method for provision of utility costs.

4.4.3.6 Method of ensuring consistency of approach and measurement across different locations.

4.4.3.7 How data collected will be representative of each MHA.

4.4.3.8 Method for collecting data in general and in small and remote locations.

4.4.3.9 Automation of data collection and data management.

4.4.3.10 Description of indexing or proxy methods, if data for one location will be furnished in lieu of original data for another location.

4.4.4 Conduct Data Collection Training. Conduct data collection training sessions for Military Housing Offices (MHOs) at locations within the Continental United States (CONUS) and/or online. Military Housing Offices assist in data collection by identifying some of the properties and real estate professional contacts that are suitable for use in the BAH data collection effort. The MHO may exclude certain census tracts within their MHA from data collection. A data collection training summary shall be provided after each training session.

4.4.4.1 Conduct up to four one-day regional data collection training sessions at locations for MHOs that will participate in the data collection effort. Training sessions shall cover the role of MHOs in the process and detail the process of identifying desirable and undesirable properties for inclusion in the data collection effort.

4.4.4.2 Conduct up to four half-day data collection training sessions via live web interface for MHOs that will participate in the data collection effort. Training sessions shall cover the role of MHOs in the process and detail the process of identifying desirable and undesirable properties for inclusion in the data collection effort.

4.4.5 Create an MHO Data Collection Guide. Electronically distribute data collection process guides to MHOs not later than 31 March. The process guide shall provide guidelines for identifying desirable and undesirable properties and census tracts for inclusion in the data collection effort, and instructions on how to use the web-based tool to do so. See paragraph 4.5.1.1.

4.4.6 Modify Data Collection Database. Annually modify/update current database code/processes/methods used in data collection to address desired changes as agreed upon with

DTMO and to mitigate security requirements/vulnerabilities/errors/bugs. The web-based tool shall be hosted by the Government and all application codes and data shall become property of the Government.

4.5 Phase 2 - Data Collection Effort.

4.5.1 Collect rental data for eight housing profiles (1, 2, and 3 Bedroom (BR) apartments; 2 and 3 BR townhouses; 3, 4, and 5 BR Single Family dwellings) for up to 350 MHAs annually.

4.5.1.1 Receive, collect, log, and store rental data from MHOs in a web-based tool that includes property, real estate professional and census tract exclusion information. The web-based tool shall:

4.5.1.1.1 Be accessible by MHOs and DTMO.

4.5.1.1.2 Have the ability to query submitted data by quantity and quality.

4.5.1.1.3 Provide copies of maps for MHOs to use in identifying the MHA boundaries.

4.5.1.1.4 Allow MHOs to input property and real estate professional information.

4.5.1.1.5 Allow MHOs to select census tracts for exclusion.
