REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

FEMA Logistics Construction and Mission Planning Support

BACKGROUND

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA, or the Agency) Logistics Management Directorate (LMD) provides logistics capabilities to procure and deliver goods and services that support disaster response and recovery operations for disaster survivors and communities. The primary mission of LMD is to deliver the right resources, at the right place, at the right time, to support state, local, tribal governments, and territories. This mission is supported by the LMDs Transportable Temporary Housing Unit (TTHU) program, in conjunction with the FEMA Individual Assistance Division, to provide direct temporary housing assistance following a major disaster declaration, by providing manufactured homes and other types of transportable temporary housing to disaster survivors.

PURPOSE

The TTHU program, within the LMD, is seeking disaster housing planning services to support direct temporary housing implementation. These services may include providing credible, objective, and timely evaluation necessary to determine if direct housing assistance is needed, develop a mission plan for TTHUs, provide detailed information on local codes, permitting requirements, installation and transportation restrictions, points of contact for state and local authorities, and other information necessary from the TTHU mission perspective.

The TTHU program also requires operational and technical field project management services to support active direct housing missions. Operational and technical field support may include construction site oversight, determining performance of area feasibility, invoice tracking, data analysis, and administrative support.

Support to other components of FEMA’s direct housing mission, such as the Multifamily Lease & Repair (MLR), Permanent Housing Construction/Repair (PHC/R), may be supported by this contract.
