Notice of Request for Proposals
The Department is requesting proposals from independent consultants "Consultant"
to provide ongoing information-gathering and monitoring of federal actions
affecting Texas military installations and missions via contact with the military
services, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
It is critical that this information gathering and monitoring occur while
such federal actions are still in the formative stages, enabling more informed,
efficient and proactive responsiveness by the Office of Defense Affairs and
the Texas communities that are entitled to this information by legislative
mandate.
Background
A significant segment of the Texas economy is dependent on federal defense
dollars in the form of contracting, military employment of civilian personnel
and active-duty military, and retired military payroll. The expected continued
decline in federal defense funding necessitates the implementation of a comprehensive,
coordinated and integrated program of information and assistance for Texas
communities, workers and defense companies. The program has two broad objectives.
First, develop and implement a state strategy to attract new defense missions
to Texas while ensuring current missions are retained through efforts aimed
at increasing the military value of each Texas defense installation. Second,
assist communities, dislocated workers and businesses impacted by decreased
defense spending in their economic adjustment and transition efforts.
Accordingly, the 75th Texas Legislature established the Office of Defense
Affairs (the "ODA") within the Department and charged it with a number of
responsibilities, including the provision of information to defense-dependent
communities regarding federal actions affecting military installation and
missions.
Scope of Services
1) The Consultant shall provide research and assessment services, including,
but not limited to, gathering all relevant information and providing analysis,
as required, on each of the issues outlined below. The Consultant shall be
responsible for critically assessing any source material for accuracy.
a) Proposed changes to the missions assigned the military services and
the missions assigned to the commanders of unified and specified commands.
b) Proposed military force restructuring (due to budget adjustments or
operational decisions).
c) Proposed changes to the location of major military forces assigned in
Texas (i.e., ships, squadrons, wings, corps, divisions, brigades, regiments,
etc.).
d) Proposed end strength gains or losses of active duty, DOD civilian,
National Guard or Reserve units assigned in Texas.
e) Potential award, non-award, or reduction of contracts to defense-related
businesses in Texas.
f) Attempts by other states to influence the relocation of military units
assigned in Texas or to influence the award of a defense contract away from
a Texas' defense-related business.
2) The Consultant shall also assist the Texas Office of State and Federal
Relations in developing strategies and tactics to counter any actions adverse
to Texas military installations or missions and assist the Department in preparing
proactive efforts to maintain and enhance the state's defense business and
industry base.
Deliverables
1) Consultant shall communicate specific time-sensitive information to
the Office of Defense affairs in an appropriately expedient manner; verbally
by phone, by fax, or by delivered written report.
2) Consultant shall provide the Office of Defense Affairs and the Texas
Office of State and Federal Relations with a brief, written, bi-monthly report
outlining work completed and pending, including summaries of information and
analysis gathered since the previous report. Reports shall be delivered to
the Department no later than the first Monday of each month, and the third
Monday of each month for the duration of the Contract. In the case of state
holiday or other Department closure on the first or third Monday of a month,
the report must be delivered to the Department no later than the next business
day.
3) Consultant shall provide additional brief written reports or presentations
as necessary to provide the assistance described in Paragraph 2 of "Scope
of Services," above.

TPRI as a classroom kit that includes a high quality box that will hold all
the materials and can be used to store the materials by a classroom teacher.
The proposer will describe a plan for distributing the TPRI to Texas school
districts. The plan will be implemented by the contractor. The contractor
