6. DELIVERABLES
In the event that NCCOS encounters or anticipates difficulty in meeting the delivery schedule,
the BOEM COR will be notified in writing of the reasons for the delay and the projected revised
delivery dates. Any other related effects of project delay also will be summarized.
A.

POST-AWARD MEETING SUMMARY AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN

NCCOS shall hold a Post Award meeting with BOEM in person in BOEM’s Herndon office as
soon as possible following the IA finalization. A draft PMP is to be delivered 7 days prior to the
meeting. At the Post Award meeting, NCCOS’s draft PMP shall be reviewed and remaining
technical or managerial issues shall be resolved. NCCOS shall prepare a summary of the
discussion and present it with a revised PMP to BOEM within 14 calendar days of the postaward meeting. BOEM will have 14 days to review and provide feedback. NCCOS will send a
final PMP to BOEM 7 days after BOEM feedback has been received. Any agreed to changes that
might affect the award are subject to approval in writing by the BOEM CO and COR.
B.

DRAFT RESEARCH DESIGN

NCCOS shall submit a complete draft research design to BOEM within 127 business days of IA
finalization. BOEM will have fifteen (15) calendar days from date of receiving a complete
research design draft to review it and inform NCCOS via email any required changes,
corrections, or additions. The research design must include detailed methods, present hypotheses
to be tested, and discuss predicted outcomes and proposed application of the research to
BOEM’s Office of Renewable Energy Programs.
C.

FINAL RESEARCH DESIGN

NCCOS shall submit the final research design, incorporating any BOEM edits or changes, within
180 calendar days of IA finalization for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. The research design will be final upon approval by the Office of Management and
Budget and submitted to BOEM within thirty (30) calendar days after that final approval.
D.

BI-MONTHLY PROGRESS LETTERS AND TELECONFERENCES

NCCOS shall schedule bi-monthly teleconference calls with BOEM’s Project Officer at a
mutually-agreeable time. NCCOS shall submit bi-monthly progress letters with invoice as
specified below via email. The letters must include, at a minimum: a summary of all work
performed during the month; an explanation of overall progress made against the work schedule;
a summary of any significant technical, budgetary, or problems encountered during the report
period, including an assessment of their probable effects on meeting contract provisions. The
reports should be submitted at least five (5) business days prior to the scheduled bi-monthly
teleconference calls to review and discuss the same.
