2007 OSC Readiness Training Program Evaluation Report 2007 Getting the Job Done: A Workshop on Acquisition and Emergency Response Contract Management Instructors: Gloria Kane, EPA Office of Acquisition Management (OAM) Richard Messimer, EPA Region 3 Sandra Rivera, EPA OAM Art Wing, EPA Region 1 This 3.5-hour intermediate-level course focused on procurement issues relevant to OSCs and others working in the emergency response community. By attending this course, attendees developed an understanding of the importance of contract management in emergency responses and removals. Topics covered were from the OSC Tool Box, and the instructors incorporated examples and scenarios to illustrate the uses of these topics. In addition, the new clauses implemented in the ERRS III follow-on contracts and Form 1900-55 were reviewed. Discussion of new tools and resources used in EPA’s regional offices also occurred. Warranted OSCs received 3.5 hours of training toward the continuing contracting education requirements of the Clinger-Cohen Act (Maloney Bill requirement). This course was recommended for new OSCs.

(Two responses) Comments on course content • Great material. • Case studies would help to illustrate the dos and don’ts in unusual or unique situations. • Would be great to break Removal Cost Management System (RCMS) out as a separate class. • Could have more new material to increase knowledge. • The course can definitely be upgraded to tougher material. • Topics to be shortened: streamline new procurement initiatives. • Topics to be lengthened: performance-based contracts; “Field Experienced” speakers; performance-based service contracting (PBSC) discussion - use this forum to get input from OSCs; RCMS - cost accounting. • Topics to be omitted: Headquarters’ discussion on performance contracts; RCMS overview. • Topics to be added: how to manage contractors’ hours; module for dealing with contractors and ICS system; information relating to actual sites of constructing issues.
