TEAM/ECHO WEB-SYSTEM

The requirement for ARRA related work in TEAM/ECHO-Web Systems was not part of the original RFP and subsequent award because the ARRA law was enacted after the RFP was issued in November 2009. FTA is in the process of collecting requirements for Next Generation TEAM and will incorporate ARRA reporting requirements that do not currently exist in the current application. The current state of the TEAM application does not fully support FTA's business ARRA processes and the Office of Information Technology has been tasked to re-engineer the functionality of TEAM-Web. To accomplish this, technological services were procured from ActioNet, Inc. The application will need to be reengineered to support the ever evolving business needs of the Agency to allow for seamless adjustments to changing ARRA and non-ARRA legislation and budget adjustments. Therefore, the additional level of effort and funding is for the contractor to identify, analyze, test and implement all changes to the TEAM-WEB/ECHO system and the application process review and to develop new codes for tracking ARRA funding. THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS OPPORTUNITY IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO CONTRACTORS UNDER Carlene Jackson, Contracting Officer, DTFT60-10-F-0005 - TEAM/ECHO-Web Systems. This requirement is to add an ARRA CLIN under option period one in the amount of $200,000.00. Rationale for Award: •1. The work is within the original scope of work under tasks for contractor support in providing development, maintenance, and helpdesk support for the TEAM-Web/ECHO applications; •2. It is not practical or economically feasible to the Government to award a separate contract for this work when a contract is already in place to obtain the services; •3. The increase to the level of effort is nominal and therefore does not circumvent the original competition; •4. The labor rates for the modification are in line with the original contract award and have been deemed fair and reasonable; and, •5. The contractor is responsible - registered in Central Contractor Registry and not on the Excluded Parties List. •6. This ARRA contract action with rationale will be posted on FPO for other than a competitive and/or fixed price approach (FAR 5.705(b).
