2016 SDASBO Fall Convention Uniform Rules—Federal Awards MUNICIPAL ELECTED OFFICIALS 2012 2016 SDASBO Fall Convention Uniform Rules—Federal Awards Rod Fortin—Director of Local Gov’t Assistance Department of Legislative Audit 300 S.

Uniform Rules-Federal Awards Procurement standards under the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (“Uniform Rules”) Codified at 2 C.F.R. §200.317 through 200.326, which supersedes the procurement regulations formerly found at 44 C.F.R. pt. 13 (State, Local, and Tribal Governments), and 2 C.F.R. pt. 215 (Private Nonprofit Organizations)

Uniform Rules-Federal Awards Why the discussion: Common Federal Findings: Noncompetitive contracting practices Failure to include required contract provisions Failure to employ required procedures to ensure small/minority/women-owned firms are solicited. Cost-plus-percentage-of-cost contracting Noncompliance with federal procurement requirements may compromise a material failure to comply with grant agreements (disallowed costs)

Uniform Rules-Federal Awards This presentation provides general information about the procurement requirements and is not intended to be, nor should it be considered legal advice. Purpose of the procurement standards is not just to obtain the cheapest price for the particular service or good, but also includes the furtherance of other objectives.

Uniform Rules-Federal Awards State vs. Other Non-Federal Entities Other Non-Federal Entities include local governments, tribal governments, IHE, hospitals, and other nonprofit organizations.

Uniform Rules—State 2 C.F.R. section 200.317 Must follow same policies and procedures it uses for procurement from its non-Federal funds, comply with §200.322 (procurement of recovered materials) and ensure that every purchase order or other contract includes any clauses required by §200.326 (contract provisions).

Uniform Rules—Other 2 C.F.R. §200.318 through 326 Other Non-Federal Entities---Must follow its own documented procurement procedures which reflect applicable state, local, and tribal laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable federal law and the standards identified in 2 C.F.R.§200.318 through 326

Uniform Rules—Other A non-federal entity’s procurement may meet the requirements of applicable state, local, and tribal procurement laws and regulations, but not meet the Federal procurement standards set forth in 2 C.F.R.§200.318 through 326—such procurement would not be compliant with the Uniform Rules. Follow the most restrictive.

General Procurement Standards Contract Oversight Necessity Standards of Conduct Written standards covering conflicts of interest Conflict of Interest—no employee, officer, or agent must participate in the selection, award, or admin of a contract is he/she has a real or apparent conflict of interest.

General Procurement Standards Gifts- not allowed. Awards to Responsible Contractors Records Time & Material Contract—conditions for the use of T&M. Settlement of Issues—non-federal entity alone is responsible for settlement

General Procurement Standards “Encourages” the following standards Use of federal excess property Intergovernmental agreements Value engineering

Competition Full and Open Competition Contractors that develop or draft specifications, requirements, statements of work, or invitations for bids or RFP must be excluded from participating for such procurement (NEW) Prohibits geographical preferences except where federal law expressly mandates or encourages it.

Competition May use pre-qualified lists—subject to certain conditions. Identifies 7 situations considered to be restrictive of competition Noncompetitive pricing practices Noncompetitive contracts to consultants on retainer Organizational conflicts of interest

Competition Written procedures for procurement transactions (2 C.F.R. sec 200.319 (c)

Procurement Methods Micro-Purchase Procedures Supplies and Services does not exceed $3,000 or $2,000 for construction subject to Davis Bacon. Equitably distributed among qualified suppliers to the extent practicable. May be awarded without soliciting competitive quotes if the price considered reasonable by non-Federal entity.

Procurement Methods Small Purchase Procedures Are those relatively simple and informal procurement methods for securing services, supplies, or other property that does not cost more than simplified acquisition threshold--$150,000 Price or rate quotes are to be obtained from an “adequate number” number of qualified sources Many Federal Agency are requiring 3 sources

Procurement Methods Sealed Bidding Bids are publicly solicited and a firm fixed price contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, confirming with all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids (IFB), is the lowest price Bids must be solicited from an “adequate number of known suppliers,” providing them sufficient response time before date of the opening of bids

Procurement Methods Sealed Bidding Local and tribal governments must publicly advertise the invitation for bids. All bids will be opened at the time and place prescribed in the invitation for bids, and for local and tribal governments, the bids must be opened publicly This method is “preferred” for construction when sealed bidding is “feasible,” which is when certain conditions are present

Procurement Methods Sealed Bidding Other procedural requirements at 2 C.F.R. sect 200.320 (c)(2)

Procurement Methods Competitive Proposals (2 CFR 200.320(d)) Generally used when conditions are not appropriate for the use of sealed bids Appropriate when more than one source is expected to submit an offer and either a fixed price or cost reimbursement type contract is awarded RFP must be publicized and identity all evaluation factors and their relative importance

Procurement Methods Competitive Proposals (2 CFR 200.320(d)) Proposal must be solicited from an adequate number of qualified sources Must have written method for conducting technical evaluations of the proposals received and for selection of the contractor. Awards will be made to the responsible firm whose proposal is most advantageous to the program, with price and other factors considered.

Procurement Methods Noncompetitive Proposals (2CFR200.320f)) Procurement through solicitation of a proposal from only one source and may be used only when one or more of the following circumstances apply. One Source—single source Exigency/Emergency—an exigency or emergency will not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation. Awarding Agency Approval

Procurement Methods Noncompetitive Proposals (2CFR200.320f)) Inadequate Competition—after the solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate

Socioeconomic Contracting A non-Federal entity must take all necessary affirmative steps to assure that minority business, women’s business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms are used when possible (2 CFR 200.321) Affirmative steps must include at least the following: Placing qualified small and minority business and women’s business enterprise on solicitation lists.

Socioeconomic Contracting Affirmative Steps: Assuring that small and minority business, and women’s business enterprises are solicited whenever they are potential sources Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and WBE. Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which encourage participation

Socioeconomic Contracting Affirmative Steps: Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which encourage participation by small and minority businesses, and WBE. Using the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such organizations as the SBA and the Minority Business Development Agency of Dept. of Commerce

Socioeconomic Contracting Affirmative Steps: Requiring the prime contractor, if subcontracts are to be let, to take the previous affirmative steps

Cost and Price A price or cost analysis must be performed in connection with every procurement action above the simplified acquisition threshold, including contract modifications (2 CFR 200.323) Method and degree of analysis is dependent of the facts and circumstances surrounding the particular procurement but as a starting point, independent estimates must be made before receiving bids or proposals

Cost and Price Shall negotiate profit as a separate element of the price for each contract in which there is no price competition and in all cases where cost analysis is performed.

Cost Plus Percentage of Cost A non-Federal entity must not use a cost-plus-percentage-of-cost or cost-plus-percentage-of-construction-cost method of contracting (2 CFR 200.323(d)) Evidence of this type of contract Payment is on a predetermined % rate The predetermined % rate is applied to actual performance costs Contractor’s entitlement is uncertain at the time of contracting

Cost Plus Percentage of Cost Evidence of this type of contract Contractor’s entitlement increases commensurately with increased performance costs. Rationale: There is NO incentive to control costs, and the contractor has a financial interest in increasing the cost of performance.

Bonding Requirements Must follow its own bonding requirements for construction or facility improvement projects beneath the simplified acquisition threshold (2 CFR 200.325) Must meet certain bonding requirements for construction or facility improvement projects above the simplified acquisition threshold (2 CFR 200.325 (a-c)

Bonding Requirements Above threshold (continues) Entity may use its own bonding policy and requirements provided the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity has made a determination that the Federal interest is adequately protected If no such determination has been made, then A bid guarantee from each bidder = 5% of the bid A performance and payment bond = 100% of the contract price

Required Contract Provisions A non-Federal entity’s contracts are required to contain certain provisions—some are based on sound contracting practices and others are required by federal law, executive order and regulations (2 C.F.R § 200.326). Required provisions are provided in Appendix II to Part 200—Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Contract Under Federal Awards

Procurement of Recovered Materials A non-Federal entity that is a state agency or agency of a political subdivision of a state and its contractors must comply with section 6002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (2 CFR 200.322)

Suspension and Debarment Non-Federal entity and contractors are subject to the non-procurement debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Orders 12549 and 12689, 2CFR 180 (2 CFR 200.212) Must not make any award or permit any award at any tier to parties listed on the government-wide exclusions in the System for Award Management (SAM) www.sam.gov
