3 I. PROCUREMENT
4 Definition 4 Procurement shall mean the process whereby Government acquires goods and services at the best possible total cost from the right source.
5 ARRA Section 1554 Award fixed-price contracts whenever possible. Using other than a fixed-price contract may be appropriate but requires Recipients to pay special attention to ensuring contractor oversight. Engage in competitive bidding with fair and open competition. Recipients are expected to follow the same competitive procurement requirements in selecting contractors for Recovery Act funded contracts as they do in expending other funds. Expeditious expenditure of the funds does not constitute a sufficient justification to support contract award on a non-competitive basis. 5
6 Puerto Rico ARRA Implementation Guideline (PRAIG), Furthermore, PR Government Entities must be guided by the following objectives, when procuring goods and services using ARRA funds public funds, bearing in mind that they are entrusted with the duty to expend these funds responsibly and in a transparent manner to further the job creation, economic recovery, and other purposes of the ARRA: Transparency and merit-based selection criteria will guide their available discretion in committing, obligating, or expending funds under ARRA ; Mitigate schedule, cost, and performance risk; 6
7 PRAIG Define contract requirements that deliver meaningful and measurable outcomes consistent with agency plans and the goals of the ARRA; Obtain maximum practicable competition; 7 Maximize opportunities for small business to compete for agency contracts and to participate as subcontractors; Expeditiously award contracts using available streamlining flexibilities; Apply sufficient and adequately trained workforce to responsibly plan, evaluate, award, and monitor contracts; Ensure resources are available and perform diligent contract administration of all contracts until completion and appropriate agency oversight is provided at critical decision points;
8 PRAIG Support projects that have, among other things and to the greatest extent: a demonstrated or potential ability to deliver programmatic results; optimize economic activity and the number of jobs created or saved in relation to the dollars obligated; achieve long-term public benefits by, for example, investing in technological advances in science and health to increase economic efficiency and improve quality of life; investing in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits; fostering energy independence; or improving educational quality.
9 PRAIG Each PR Government Entity head and Federal Fund Manager should review OMB Guidance, each Award Notification and related Funding Opportunities Announcement (FOAs) and CFRs to ensure compliance with particular and specific procurement requirements of each grant. It is imperative that no Puerto Rico procurement law or regulation be bypassed or not complied with on the account of expediting the development of ARRA funded projects. When a PR Government Entity understands that such schedule compliance is not possible if it follows the same laws, principles, procedures, and practices in awarding its usual contracts, the agency must consult with AFI according to Act No. 8, which empowers AFI to direct assisted entities to follow alternative procurement processes.
10 ARRA Procurement The prospective contractor must be qualified and eligible under applicable Puerto Rico laws and regulations. PR Government Entities are reminded that they should also review any available list of contractors not qualified to do business with the Government of Puerto Rico and the Federal Government Excluded Parties List System before determining that a prospective contractor is responsible. When an acquisition poses unique risks, agencies may also use special responsibility standards in the selection process to mitigate the risk. 10
11 ARRA Procurement 11 PR Government Entities must identify the solicitation as one funded by the ARRA.
12 Example: ARRA Procurement Checklist 12
13 II. STANDARD CONTRACT PROVISIONS
14 Sources Specific existing legal requirements typical of contracting with the Federal Government have also been included in ARRA and have been interpreted to be provisions applicable to recipients at the State level (denominated, flow-down provisions). ARRA Section 902 ARRA Section 1515 Specific required contract provisions Stated in memo from AFI to agencies and municipalities dated June 8, OMB clarifications regarding allowable costs must be considered. 14 Puerto Rico ARRA Implementation Guidelines (PRAIG) (September 1 st, 2009)
15 Required Contract Provision to Implement ARRA Section 902 Section 902, of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, requires that each contract awarded using ARRA funds must include a provision that provides the U.S. Comptroller General and his representatives with the authority to: (1) to examine any records of the contractor or any of its subcontractors, or any State or local agency administering such contract, that directly pertain to, and involve transactions relating to, the contract or subcontract; and (2) to interview any officer or employee of the contractor or any of its subcontractors, or of any State or local Government agency administering the contract, regarding such transactions. 15 Accordingly, the Comptroller General and his representatives shall have the authority and rights as provided under Section 902, of the ARRA with respect to this contract, which is funded with funds made available under the ARRA. Section 902, further States that nothing in this section shall be interpreted to limit or restrict in any way any existing authority of the Comptroller General.
16 Authority of the Inspector General- ARRA Section 1515(a) of the ARRA provides authority for any representatives of the Inspector General to examine any records or interview any employee or officers working on this contract. The contractor is advised that representatives of the Inspector General have the authority to examine any record and interview any employee or officer of the contractor, its subcontractors or other firms working on this contract. Section 1515(b) further provides that nothing in this section shall be interpreted to limit or restrict in any way any existing authority of an Inspector General.
17 PRAIG The requirement to share data for compliance with reporting requirements shall be included in contracts entered into by PR Government Entities with subgrantees, contractors and subcontractors receiving ARRA funds to ensure effective implementation of ARRA accountability requirements.
18 Document Retention 18 PR Government Entities shall require its subgrantees and contractors to, retain all records in connection with the project and activity funded with ARRA funds for three (3) years after receiving final payment under the applicable grant or contract and all other pertinent matters are closed.
