1.2 Continuation to SF-1449: Schedule Of Supplies/Services, Block 20 Description/Specifications/Work Statement

I. INTRODUCTION

The U.S. Department of State (DOS) Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs’ (INL) mission is to minimize the impact of international crime and illegal drugs on the United States and its citizens through global cooperation. INL’s Office of Africa and the Middle East (INL/AME) develops and executes for-eign assistance programming to promote civilian security and criminal justice sector reform in support of U.S.

policy objectives. We support these reform efforts in partnership with the host governments, U.S. embassies, and implementers throughout the region. In addition, INL/AME has responsibility for coordinating develop-ment of programs with other United States Government (USG) departments and agencies involved in security sector reform and other international organizations to ensure efficient coordination of policy and program im-plementation.

The U.S. government efforts to support Tunisia’s transition focus on three key areas: enhancing economic growth and opportunity, ensuring a secure and peaceful Tunisia, and supporting successful electoral processes and transparent and accountable governance. INL is playing a crucial role in promoting U.S. priorities by sup-porting Tunisian efforts to reform security and justice institutions to ensure they protect the rights of the Tunisi-an people, rather than the interests of the powerful. INL’s strategy in Tunisia is to focus on broad reform of the police, justice sector, and prisons system to complement more immediate-term efforts to bolster basic capacities through training and equipment.

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is partnering with the Tunisian pris-on administration, the Directorate General of Prisons and Rehabilitation (DGPR), to strengthen emergency management practices within its prisons. Currently, the state of emergency response practices within Tunisia’s facilities is basic. As a vital component of operational security, emergency management and response training has been identified as an immediate critical need. In addition to natural disaster emergencies, prison officials must be prepared to address security emergencies (i.e. riots, hostage situations, critical incidents, and external attacks).

II. SCOPE OF WORK

The intent of the Emergency Management Program (EMP) is to improve the DGPR’s capacity to prepare for and respond to emergencies by developing emergency management policies and procedures, and provide train-ing on operating an effective incident command system, and Emergency Response Teams and Tactics.

The intent of this contract is for the Contractor to meet all requirements necessary to provide appropriate tech-nical assistance and emergency management training as outlined in this SOW, including but not limited to de-velopment of standard operating procedures, development of appropriate curriculum, provision of qualified trainers and staff, provision of appropriate equipment approved by INL, and provision of all logistical and ad-ministrative support prior to, during, and after the training. The Contractor shall deploy mobile training teams or technical advising teams for approximately one to two months per deployment as specified in section IV of this SOW. Mobile training teams and technical advising teams should be comprised of an appropriate number of staff and agreed upon by INL. INL will provide the Contractor appropriate information on Tunisian laws, procedures and the DGPR and prison system to provide a basis of support for the Contractor’s curriculum and procedural development and staff orientation efforts.

Place of Performance

Technical assistance and training courses will be presented at locations to be determined in Tunisia, as identi-fied by the DGPR and INL section. Sites being considered are Tunis, Borj El Amri, Borj El Roumi, Manouba, and Borj Touil.

Period of Performance

The period of performance will be one year from date of award.

Work Plan

The Contractor will develop a work plan in consultation with and approved by the COR, in which the Contract-or will provide technical assistance to develop emergency management policies and procedures, and develop the curriculum and conduct training of Tunisian civilian correctional officers in the topics outlined in this SOW. Curriculum should be aligned with the reality of situations, laws, and experiences specific to Tunisia and incorporating internationally accepted standards. All curriculum, course schedules, work plans, course materi-als, and other materials related to the training must be submitted to INL for approval no later than 30 days prior to the scheduled deployment. Upon approval by INL the Contractor shall translate the curriculum, course ma-terials, or other materials specified by INL into Arabic no later than 10 days prior to commencement of the tech-nical assistance or training.

The Contractor shall complete three (3) deployments of mobile training teams or technical advising teams to Tunisia during the Period of Performance. The first deployment shall consist of a technical advising team that will work directly with DGPR leadership to establish a comprehensive set of policies and procedures that will provide a basis for the establishment of a comprehensive Emergency Management System. The policies and procedures resulting from the initial technical advising deployment should be incorporated into the design of the training curriculum providing a cohesive systematic approach for the establishment of an Emergency Manage-ment System at all levels. The total estimated duration of the first deployment is four (4) weeks.

The second deployment shall consist of a train-the-trainer workshop and four iterations of Incident Command Systems at DGPR Headquarters and the prison facilities in Borj Roumi, Borj Amri, and Manouba. The total es-timated duration of the second deployment is six (6) weeks in duration.

The third deployment shall consist of eight iterations of Emergency Response Team and Tactics at the DGPR training academy and the prison facilities in Borj Roumi, Borj Amri, and Manouba, and a table top exercise.

The table top exercise should bring together key stakeholders within the DGPR’s Emergency Management Sys-tem to work through a true-to-life scenario to identify strengths and weaknesses within the policies and proced-ures and provide general understanding of key changes to participants when responding to a critical or emer-gency incident. The total estimated duration of the third deployment is nine (9) weeks.

Technical Assistance and Course Content

The Contractor shall define its technical assistance plan AND training plan in the quote to meet the objectives of this statement of work

In the future, INL may elect to have the Contractor offer additional technical assistance or training in the areas related to emergency management. Requirements for any such courses will be defined through an amended Statement of Work prepared by INL.

The Contractor will provide qualified staff on-site in Tunisia for the duration of the technical assistance and training activities. The Contractor shall propose a Project Manager who will function as the lead for both the Technical Assistance and Training Activities. The Project Manager will coordinate with the Contracting Of-ficer’s Representative (COR), INL program office, and U.S. Embassy Tunis, Tunisia.

The Contractor will meet with INL and DGPR representatives following first iteration of each training course to ensure the curriculum meets the needs of the DGPR, modifying the curriculum if/as required.

All spoken/orally presented training will be in English and the Contractor is responsible for providing qualified interpreters for simultaneous interpretation into Arabic. The Contractor is responsible for translating all written material (short student guides, technical data, operations manuals, etc.) into Arabic prior to the commencement of classes.
