1. GENERAL:

The Contractor shall provide non-personal services to include project management support services for efforts related to the water resources programs in south Louisiana including the Bi- Partisan Budget Act 2018 (P.L. 115-123) (BBA-18) and other USACE Civil Works programs including but not limited to: Mississippi River and Tributaries (MR&T), Planning Assistance to States (PAS), Continuing Authorities Program (CAP), Flood Plain Management Services (FPMS), Silver Jackets (SJ), International and Interagency Support (IIS), Environmental Infrastructure (EI), Coastal Wetlands Planning Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA).

The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

Description of Services/Introduction:

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform project management support services for efforts related to the water resources programs in south Louisiana including the BBA-18 and other USACE Civil Works programs as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

Background:

Driving this acquisition approach is the need to ensure sufficient Project Management Support Services for the New Orleans District (MVN) to ensure mission delivery of the Civil Works program, including the Bi-Partisian Budget Act of 2018 (BBA-18). BBA-18 allocated over $1.8 Billion to MVN for the streamlined completion of over 70 short and long term disaster recovery projects. A condition of the BBA18 program is that each project must be completed on an accelerated timeline of less than 5 years. The BBA18 program has been identified as a “no fail mission” by USACE Headquarters. When combined with the existing and future Civil Works funding expectations, MVN management has identified the need for additional support services to ensure the needed resources are readily available.

Scope:

The Contractor shall perform project management support services for efforts related to the water resources programs in south Louisiana including the BBA-18 and other USACE Civil Works programs. Services include: project management/planning support, development of project performance reports, updates to program management plans, project scheduling input, project cost support, presentation development, interagency agreement development/updates, project drawings and maps, other project reports, and monthly status reports.
