SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Develop and Deliver Training on Safe Rehabilitation of Hurricane-Damaged Homes With Mold, Lead-Based Paint and Other Housing-Related Hazards SECTION C – PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)
I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The HUD Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (OHHLHC) is seeking to develop training programs to reach the residential rehabilitation and construction contracting community, property managers, and others in areas significantly affected by flooding and wind damage caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the summer of 2005, with specific focus on low- and medium-income housing in the federally-designated disaster areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas (see www.fema.gov). The overall purpose of this Statement of Work is to prepare, develop and deliver separate types of training to various target populations described below. This project involves qualifying trainers and coordinating their delivery of training courses on Healthy Homes issues in damaged housing. It requires the Contractor to identify, reach and train existing environmental, health and safety trainers and prepare them to train two other groups on healthy homes remediation methods and lead-safe work practices during the clean-up, repair and rehabilitation of buildings containing health hazards. The two intended groups to receive the training are: a) residential rehabilitation and construction contractors and volunteer program participants; and, b) homeowners, property managers and government officials.
A. Summary of Activities: The Contractor shall perform the following three general tasks: 1. Planning: Perform a comprehensive training needs analysis. This is an initial needs-based determination of the target audiences in the geographic areas to prioritize training to be delivered. Develop Training Project Plan (TPP; see par. 2.2.2, below). 2. Development: Design and develop a modular training curriculum in English, translate into Spanish, and accompanying Train-the-Trainer curriculum in English and Spanish: Module 1: Classroom, instructor-led training curriculum, approximately 3 hours in length and having an end-of-module test, designed for homeowners, property owners, managers and government officials to: a. raise their awareness of housing-based health hazards encountered during rehabilitation of hurricane-damaged properties, b. identify the type of rehabilitation activities they can safely perform themselves and when to hire professionals, and; c. enable them to manage properties safely. Module 2: Classroom, instructor-led training curriculum, including hands-on demonstration and practice, designed for contractors and workers in renovation, rehabilitation and other building construction trades, to enable them to perform their work activities safely in the post-hurricane environment with course duration (including course test) of at least 7 (Module 2 should be 4 hours since 1+2 will be a total of 7 hour) hours total, including at least 1.5 hours of hands-on training. Prerequisite: Module 1. A Train-The-Trainer Training (T4) curriculum for mold clean-up and building repair enabling experienced work practices trainers to teach the course and of a length, including course test, of approximately 7 hours total, including at least 1.5 hours of hands-on training.
3.
Training Delivery and Evaluation: Coordinate and arrange the delivery of all courses by the trainers to the desired audiences in target areas based on the needs of the geographical areas. Contractor shall also evaluate the training activities and implement its Quality Assurance/Evaluation plan.
HUD’s policy priorities for this work include:
1. Providing opportunities for contractors and others to easily and efficiently obtain useful information on lead 2.
and mold clean up, during remodeling, rebuilding and when to use a professional mold assessor/mediator; obtain contractor buy-in and ensure that participants understand the purpose of the training; Recruit trainees in the affected areas through trade groups, CBOs, FBOs, and other organizations, and also by creative strategies and through partnerships with corporations, non-profits, schools or other pathways to reach individuals who are not members of a group, trade association or organization; avoiding replication by adapting, translating and/or disseminating existing effective training materials about Healthy Homes construction or rebuilding; Adapting or translating information as needed to accommodate training candidates in the construction trades who have limited English proficiency, have varying levels of literacy, and/or are visually- or hearingimpaired; Partnering with the home supply industry (e.g., Ace, Home Depot, Lowe’s) and stores selling building materials (e.g., K-Mart, Sears, Wal-Mart) to disseminate training information and/or deliver training courses such as in-store “how-to” clinics (we assume these clinics are not something additional, but the project course modules); working with local groups including newspapers, magazines, radio and/or TV stations to determine cost-effective methods of communicating training opportunities to intended recipients. Training provider general compliance with the requirements of American National Standard Institute (ANSI) Standard Z490.1-2001, “Criteria for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health and Environmental Training.” When a provision in the ANSI standard and this contract conflict, this contract supersedes. For example, the ANSI standard requires training providers to issue “certificates.” HUD requires “notices of completion” (vs. “certificates”) for lead-related courses that are not covered by regulatory certification provisions. Training providers should issue “notices of completion.” (For information on how to obtain a copy of the training standard from ANSI, see the contact information provided in Appendix I to this document.)

HUD is interested in building permanent local capacity to perform training and education, safe rehabilitation and remodeling, rebuilding and restoration in seriously damaged properties. This requires the OHHLHC to focus its efforts under this activity on organizations offering permanent sources of these services. It is anticipated that faith-based organizations (FBO) and community-based organizations (CBO) including volunteer groups will be involved in locating areas of need and individuals to receive training. After the area’s training needs are clearly identified and HUD approval is received, qualified trainers will train the target audiences (see 1 - 3, above) throughout the flood-stricken areas, specifically in the federally designated hurricane-disaster portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Alabama. Information about HUD’s Office of Faith-Based Programs is available on HUD’s website at: http://www.hud.gov/offices/fbci/index.cfm. HUD will perform project oversight of this task order, review draft deliverables and monitor/evaluate Contractor performance. HUD will be unable to provide a high level of assistance in performing outreach or marketing the training, identifying subject matter experts, or training delivery for this project. B. Team Approach Encouraged: This project requires a significant level of effort developing and delivering training programs within stringent timeframes. If needed, the contractor/grantee is encouraged to propose a team approach to performing these activities to ensure completion of work within the stated schedule. The OHHLHC is aware of experts knowledgeable in training and instructional systems design, healthy homes and construction (rehabilitation) issues, and possessing expertise and abilities to assess existing health, construction and maintenance information. HUD encourages their participation in this project as trainers, consultants or as team members. If the Contractor proposes a team for performing this activity, the list of proposed team members must be submitted to OHHLHC for approval prior to the start of work (see Appendix 1-Resources).
II. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED A. Contract Line Item Numbers CLIN 1: Planning Phase: Develop a Training Needs Assessment and Training Project Plan. In the training needs assessment, the Contractor shall identify groups of intended participants in the affected geographical areas, categorize them, and prioritize them. The Contractor shall consider the following issues: the undetermined, but potentially large size of the audiences and their geographic distribution, high rates of employee turnover among contractors, labor shortages and the transient nature of construction contracting associated with storm response, a reduced amount of time that employers are willing to devote to employee training, the unique problems of urban and rural areas, foreign language and literacy barriers to training, and the lack of an adequate capacity of trainers in all storm-damaged areas. As part of the Training Needs Assessment, the Contractor shall develop lists of “tasks” (major job activities) and component “sub-tasks” that members of the target audiences (trainers, workers and managers) perform. The job task lists will form the basis of the learning objectives for the curricula and performance checklists to establish participants’ successful completion of the training. The hierarchy of the duties and tasks as listed must correlate to the lessons and modules of the training curricula. CLIN 1A: Develop a Training Project Plan (TPP) Creating quality training brings together significant human and material resources. The Contractor’s proposed plan for this training project is the TPP. (The TPP is not equivalent to the Contractor’s Work Plan.) Training requires the identification of resources/groups to develop or implement the proposed course. Resources fall into four broad categories: (1) facilities, (2) training recipients, (3) personnel, and (4) equipment.
The TPP shall include the following information: Itemization of the training facilities proposed for use. Each training venue must have a safe and suitable training environment. An estimate of the number of training recipients derived from the needs assessment. The number of instructors required. As discussed in paragraph 1.2 above, Contractor may propose a team of experts with expertise in industrial hygiene, building construction practices, training, and the potential hazards to be encountered during the rehabilitation of hurricane-damaged homes, in particular mold and lead hazards. A list of all course development tasks proposed including development of instructor lesson plans. A list of all equipment required for the training, including audio-visual equipment required for the delivery methods and locations proposed. A marketing plan to ensure adequate enrollments with stated minimum enrollments required for course delivery. Projected type and number of curricular materials to be used. Proposed delivery and testing methods (methodologies). Proposed quality assurance (see below) and evaluation methods. Proposed data collection, training documents to be provided to students, and Contractor’s proposed recordkeeping/reporting methods.
Demand-Response System: In addition to the training courses scheduled in the TPP, HUD anticipates a potential need to provide a small number of courses as local needs arise. The Contractor must be able to deliver a few additional courses in the target area as directed by the Government Technical Representative (GTR).
Marketing Plan. The Contractor shall also develop a marketing plan to solicit participants for the courses in the target area. Although HUD has a separate contractor performing outreach activities in this area, marketing the courses and registering students is the sole responsibility of the training contractor. HUD has instructed its outreach contractor to provide contact information for the training contractor in its outreach materials. The outreach contractor will perform no other training-related activities.
CLIN 2: Development Phase: Curriculum Development
HUD requires one curriculum consisting of two modules: an awareness-level module for property owners/managers and others (programmatic course) lasting approximately 3 training hours, with end-of-module test/quiz. The curriculum should be as interactive as possible and include extensive use of visual aids. Elements to be covered include levels of intervention and how to determine the level of response required in a property, how to hire a qualified contractor or train employees to perform work safely, state certification requirements for mold remediation and lead-based paint abatement, insurance, etc. Contractors/workers will receive the morning Module 1 plus the afternoon Module 2, covering safe work practices and hands-on practical. The afternoon module will include greater detail, hands-on training, and an end-of-course test. Contractors and workers must participate in hands-on training to pass. In addition to the biological problems covered by this course, operational highlights of the HUD-approved lead safe work practices training shall be included in the curriculum (note that several curricula for this lead course exist, and additional development is not required). HUD anticipates that limited consultation with the OHHLHC staff may be required to develop course content. In addition, the contractor shall create review groups of representatives of the intended audiences (e.g., review groups) for consultation during course development to ensure that curricula are practically oriented and fit the language and literacy needs of the intended audiences. A curricular outline of instruction, agenda, instructor’s lesson plan, student guide, instructor guide, and examination package consisting of exam and answer key are required. The draft curriculum must be submitted for HUD approval in accordance with the milestone schedule.
CLIN 2A: Train-the-trainer Training (T4) curriculum. A train-the-trainer curriculum must also be created to support the curriculum described above. A curricular outline of instruction, agenda, instructor’s lesson plan, student guide, instructor guide, and examination package consisting of exam and answer key are required for the train-the-trainer course. The draft curriculum must be submitted for HUD approval in accordance with the milestone schedule. The intent of this curriculum is to qualify existing environmental, health and safety instructors to instruct target audiences in the courses identified in this Statement of Work. It must include technical information as well as adult education principles. Computer-based or web-based modules are acceptable to HUD, but only as an introductory portion of the training regarding background information, as identified below, to reduce T4 classroom time. CLIN 2B: Healthy Homes Rehabilitation Training. The content of the Healthy Homes Rehabilitation (HHR) curricula should include the following, among related topics: Module 1: Limited discussions of background information: o The nature and prevalence of mold; o Bacterial, viral (e.g., E. coli), allergen, and pest (e.g., insects, dead animals, etc.); infestation, and unavailability of gas, water and other utilities, as associated with flooding (limited discussion); o The nature and prevalence of lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards; o Health effects associated with exposure to storm water runoff contaminants; o Sources and causes of flood-related mold contamination (moisture intrusion to drywall, insulation, etc.); Removal and disposal of damaged and contaminated materials; Personal protection for homeowners performing limited work and damage assessors. Module 2: Use of appropriate personal protective equipment for workers performing rehab activities in flood-damaged properties;
Identified regulatory guidelines for professionals working in environments with mold, lead and other hazards; Cleaning and decontamination following hazard reduction activities; Guidance on when to seek additional expertise; Incorporating Healthy Homes and lead-safe work practices into work specifications.
CLIN 2C: Delivery Phase: Course Delivery. The contractor shall identify, recruit, and train trainers using the curriculum developed above. Course materials, the content, delivery and locations for the T4 program will be cleared for acceptance by HUD according to the OHHLHC's performance criteria for T4 training sessions. The contractor shall initially pilot test each curriculum and make necessary improvements as approved by HUD based on the feedback obtained during the pilot testing. HUD anticipates that 4 – 6 T4 classes will be offered in the target area, with the goal of training 40 – 60 trainers. The T4 initiative will rely on recognized guidance on lead, mold and housing-related hazards, including the list of resources developed and maintained by public and private organizations, and presented in Appendix I, List of Selected Resources. CLIN 3: Implement the Training The Contractor shall use trainers who have successfully completed the Train-the-Trainer program (e.g., its staff trainers, and/or sub-contracted trainers) to deliver post-hurricane Healthy Homes Rehabilitation (HHR) training based on recognized guidance for addressing mold, lead and healthy homes issues. The Contractor shall handle all necessary arrangements and sub-contract with trainers to deliver the programs. The OHHLHC is anticipating training an audience of up to approximately 6,000 individuals. This effort would require the delivery of up to approximately 240 separate classes. HUD estimates an average of 25 participants per class; a minimum attendance of 20 participants shall be required to deliver a course. HUD will provide the Contractor with a total of 60 separate classes, with any additional classes in multiples of 60 to be authorized by the GTR based on the Contractor’s ability to recruit eligible trainees, and the Contractor’s performance in successfully training participants. The training sessions shall be offered free to attendees. The Contractor shall obtain the OHHLHC's approval of the time and place of all training deliveries at least three days in advance to avoid duplication and conflicts, and so as to allow the GTR or designee to monitor the training session on an unannounced or announced basis, at the discretion of the GTR. The Contractor evaluate all training deliveries within five days after the training and submit all such reports to the GTR on a weekly basis. Quality Assurance and Evaluation: The Contractor shall develop and implement a quality assurance (QA) or training evaluation plan for the HHR training program for review and approval by the GTR. The QA/Evaluation plan shall include plans for evaluating the effectiveness of the training in accordance with Level 3, Ability to Demonstrate Knowledge and Skills in the Work Setting, of Donald J. Kirkpatrick's four-level model (see Appendix I). Kirkpatrick's Level 2 includes documentation of knowledge gained through post-course evaluation forms. HUD also requires oversight of the training through observation of a sample of training deliveries provided by every trainer, commenting on the training deliveries and submitting the comments to the OHHLHC and trainers. The QA plan shall also include a mechanism for evaluating the effectiveness of the courses (e.g., through structured feedback from course participants), and for revising the course curricula, course material, and/or delivery techniques to correct demonstrated weaknesses. More than one evaluation mechanism may be appropriate. The Contractor shall ensure that HUD is given full recognition for the sponsorship of all training courses provided under this contract on training materials, notices of completion, marketing materials and other records. The Contractor shall recommend trainers to the OHHLHC for approval, by providing their qualifications, experience and availability to conduct this training. Following HUD approval, the Contractor shall select, train and approve the trainers that attended the T4. The Contractor shall evaluate and make recommendations to trainers and the OHHLHC regarding the experience and qualifications of the sub-contractor trainers, and provide, as needed, technical assistance to subcontractors to help make the training effective, if approved by the OHHLHC.
CLIN 4: Periodic contract reporting. In addition to the subject-matter reporting noted above (e.g., deliverables and reporting on completion of individual training sessions), the Contractor shall provide monthly summary reports to the GTR on the activities and benefits of the services provided to date, any issues for the attention of the GTR, and monthly financial reports on labor (specified by labor category), other direct costs, and General and Administrative costs.

(b) Requirements for cost or pricing data. If the Contractor is not granted an exception from the requirement to submit cost or pricing data, the following applies: (1) The Contractor shall submit cost or pricing data and supporting attachments in accordance with Table 15-2 of FAR 15.408.
