MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Need for Contract Officers Authorization Before
Contractor Activation
FROM: Henry L. Longest II, Director
Office of Emergency and
TO: All OERR Staff
Purpose
This memo is to remind all OERR Staff that contractor
performed work must not be initiated until the contracting officer
has given formal authorization.
Background
As you know, the issue of Superfund contracts management has
been intensely analyzed by Congressional staff, GAO, the IG, and
others. We must assure strict adherence to all contract
procedures to avoid any appearance or occasion of mismanagement or
conflict or interest. Furthermore, a contractor is at risk for
any work performed before the authorization date.
Implementation
Until the contract is approved by the contracting officer,
discussions concerning the project with the firm or potential firm
must be related to preliminary scoping matters only; no work may
commence before authorization from PCMD. To speed the procurement
process, specify a date by which PCMD approval is needed. PCMD
will always strive to accommodate specific data requirements;
"ASAP" requests are processed after data specific requests.
