FEDERAL COST: The estimated total cost to the Federal government is $8,239. The estimated annual cost to the Federal government is $2,746.


For cost calculations, we estimate 7 hours of time for a GS-14. These hours account for OPA to review customer feedback. For the contractor, we estimate 63 hours of an intermediate staff member’s time to program the surveys and tabulate the results and 7 hours of senior staff time to review the results.


If you are conducting a focus group, survey, or plan to employ statistical methods, please provide answers to the following questions:


The selection of your targeted respondents

  1. Do you have a customer list or something similar that defines the universe of potential respondents and do you have a sampling plan for selecting from this universe? [ X] Yes [ ] No


If the answer is yes, please provide a description of both below (or attach the sampling plan)? If the answer is no, please provide a description of how you plan to identify your potential group of respondents and how you will select them?


All 29 FY 2019 TPP grantees and any FY 2020 TPP grantees that interact with the evaluation technical assistance contract via group TA (between 4 and 66 grantees) could receive surveys. Two individuals, the project director and lead evaluator, for each grantee would receive each survey referenced below.


Periodic TA surveys. There is a survey that would be administered after each written technical assistance product, such as the release of a technical assistance brief. Each survey would be administered to two respondents for each grantee (the project director and lead evaluator) after each activity. We estimate three activities throughout 2020 and 2021 for the 29 TPP19 grantees for a total of (3*29*2 =) 174 responses from the TPP19 grantees. And we expect two activities per year in 2021 and 2022 for the TPP20 grantees. We assume up to 40 grantees will receive each outreach, so we expect (4*40*2=) 320 responses for TPP20 grantees. Therefore, we will have up to 494 respondents for the group technical assistance surveys.
