IV. Program Requirements

Except as stated below in this section, you must meet the requirements listed in Section II of the General Section of this SuperNOFA. You must also meet these additional requirements:

(A) Individual Award Amounts. You may not submit an application for more than $15,000. (1) Applications for short-term technical assistance may be funded up to $15,000, with HUD providing payment directly to your authorized consultant for the consultant's fee, travel, room and board, and other approved costs at the government rate approved by HUD. (2) Technical assistance initiated by HUD may be for any amount up to $25,000 when HUD staff determine that more than 30 billable days of technical assistance over a 90-day period is justified.

(B) Receipt of More than One Application. If HUD receives more than one application from a HA, or a group of RCs, ROs, or RMCs, or an Indian tribe and a TDHE, in proximity to one another, HUD and its agent may exercise discretion to consider any two or more applications as one, recommending one or more consultants and executing contracts for any combination of applications.

(C) Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. Section II(D) of the General Section does not apply to this NOFA because its purpose is to address specific and targeted problems faced by Public Housing Authorities, Indian tribes, Tribally Designated Housing Entities, Resident Management Corporations, Resident Councils, or Resident Organizations in their management of the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program and to assist the applicants in the improvement of the effectiveness of that program.

(D) Eligible Consultants. HUD is seeking individuals or entities who have experience working with public or Tribal housing or other low- income populations to provide short-term technical assistance under this DETAP section of the SuperNOFA. Consultants who have previously been deemed eligible and are part of HUD's TA Consultant Database need not reapply, but must update their file with more recent experience and rate justification on an annual basis. HUD reserves the right to consider a consultant name inactive in the database if the consultant has not provided updated information for the database within the last two years. The updated skills should list strengths in priority order.
(1) To qualify as an eligible consultant, you should have demonstrated knowledge and specialized experience in one or more of the following general areas:
(a) PHA/Indian tribe or TDHE-related experience with:
(i) Agency organization and management;
(ii) Facility operations;
(iii) Strategic plan development, and
(iv) Prevention and intervention programs;
(b) Experience as an independent consultant, or as a consultant working with a firm with related experience and understanding of on- site work requirements, contractual, reporting and billing requirements;
(c) Crisis Intervention/Mediation;
(d) Defensible Space/Crime Prevention through Environmental Design Guidance on the development of Five-year PHA Plans;
(e) Assistance in the development or evaluation of PHDEP performance indicators for each PHDEP activity;
(f) Tools and techniques for gathering crime statistics; Crime mapping;
(g) Technology Assessments: Determination of how computer software and hardware may be used to improve grant administration (e.g. establishment of a crime statistics database; Training on Best Practices (e.g. Peacemakers/Building Tolerance and Youth Violence Prevention, Wellness Training, Development and Implementation of Kobans, Development of Gun-Buyback programs);
(h) Establishment of Partnerships with Law enforcement partnerships;
(i) Drafting memoranda of understanding with partners;
(j) Translation of the strategic plan components into measurable and attainable goals for the PHDEP Semi-Annual Performance Reporting System;
(k) Plan versus Performance Assessments;
(l) Internet-based computer training as it specifically relates to the administration of the PHDEP.
(2) Additional requirements for consultants include the following:
(a) In addition to the conflict of interest requirements in 24 CFR part 85, no person who is an employee, agent, officer, or appointed official of an eligible applicant may be funded as a consultant to that organization by this Drug Elimination Technical Assistance Program.
(b) If you are a consultant who wishes to provide drug elimination technical assistance services through this program, you must not have had any involvement in the preparation or submission of any DETAP proposal. Your involvement will be considered a conflict of interest, making you ineligible for providing consulting services to the eligible applicant and will disqualify you from future consideration. This prohibition shall also be invoked for preparing and distributing prepared generic or sample applications to entities eligible to apply for funding under this program. If HUD determines that any application submitted by a PHA, Indian tribe or TDHE, RC, RO or RMC duplicates a sufficient amount of any prepared sample to raise issues of possible conflict of interest, and HUD determines you provided and distributed the sample, you will be disqualified from receiving HUD funds.
(c) Consultants accepted into the DETAP are prohibited from soliciting their services to eligible applicants.
(d) HUD-registered consultants are eligible to receive funds to be reimbursed for up to $15,000 for conducting short-term technical assistance. HUD or its agent will carefully review the approved Statement of Work to ensure that resources allocated are appropriate and reasonable for the work to be performed (e.g. resources devoted to pre-on site preparation and on-site work). Long-term results are expected from each job. After your work is completed, evaluations from recipients of the technical assistance services will be submitted to HUD on your work performance. The evaluations will be carefully reviewed to make sure the recipients of TA are satisfied with your services. If your performance receives a satisfactory rating, you will be reimbursed by HUD. If the housing authority is not satisfied with the report that is provided by the consultant, HUD will require the consultant to correct the report or address and/or resolve any issues raised by the housing authority without additional costs. If these issues can not be resolved, HUD will not be under obligation to reimburse the consultant for any incurred costs except for transportation and per diem costs. In extreme cases of technical assistance needs, staff members of HUD Headquarters and field offices may recommend specialized technical assistance for which you can receive up to $25,000 in funds. You may not be the lead consultant on any more than two active contracts or purchase orders at one time nor be involved with more than one company at a time that has active technical assistance contracts. You may not have any more than four contracts or purchase orders and enter into a purchase order agreement as a lead consultant within the calendar year. The lead consultant may enter into a collaborative agreement with other TA consultants listed in the database. In the case of collaborative agreements, only one purchase order will be issued to the lead consultant. The Department will have no obligation to reimburse or issue a separate purchase order agreement with collaborating consultants. Reimbursement to collaborating consultants will be the responsibility of the lead consultant. If you are working as a member of a multi-person firm, the key individual for the specific contract must be listed on each contract as the point of contact. The point of contact must be on-site more hours than any other contracted staff billing to the purchase order, and that individual may have no more than two purchase orders active at the same time. Consulting firms may bill the authorized daily rate only once per 24-hour period. Consultants shall not bill more than once for a single day's work; for example, if a firm consists of three consultants and the certified daily rate is $470, they may not bill HUD $1,410 per day for their services. Each individual consultant may not bill at his or her daily rate. The aggregate number of hours billed by one or all consultants on project must not exceed 8 hours per day.

(E) Ineligible Consultants. Consultants and/or companies currently debarred or suspended by HUD are not eligible to perform services under this program. Also, consultants that are not in the official Consultant database are considered ineligible for this program.

(F) Application Process for Consultants.
(1) If you are an individual or entity interested in being listed in the DETAP Consultant Database, you must prepare your application and send it to the address specified in the application kit. Before you can be entered into the Consultant Database, you must submit an application that includes the following information:
(a) The Consultant Resource Inventory Questionnaire, including at least three written references, all related to the general areas listed in this DETAP section of the SuperNOFA. One or two of the written references must relate to work for a PHA, Indian tribe or TDHE, RC, RO or RMC;
(b) A resume;
(c) Documented evidence (e.g., w-2 Wage Statement, payment statement etc.) of the standard daily fee previously paid to you for technical assistance services similar to eligible activities under this DETAP. In light of the recent drastic reduction in Drug Elimination Technical Assistance funding, the standard daily fee will not exceed the Equivalent Rate for Level IV of the Executive Schedule.

(2) HUD will determine your specific fee based upon the evidence you submitted under this DETAP.

(3) If you are an employee of a housing agency (HA), Indian tribe, or TDHE, you may not serve as a consultant to your employer. If you serve as a consultant to other than your employer, you must be on annual leave to receive the consultant fee.
(i) Applicants are prohibited from selecting consultants by name from HUD's consultant database.
(ii) Consultants will be recommended to an organization seeking TA, based on factors including capacity to perform the technical assistance, their strengths identified in the consultant skill codes in the database, previous experience in the specified areas of technical assistance, previous performance evaluation for performing technical assistance, reasonableness of the fee, and geographic proximity to the site where TA will be provided. If no consultants in the database are within the geographical proximity, consultants will be selected from the closest region to the site where TA will be provided. The technical assistance to be provided will be based upon an assessment of a maximum of three priority areas of concern to the applicant. All of the skills that the consultants possess are not eligible for providing technical assistance under DETAP. If the priority areas of concern are not identified in the application, the applicant will be contacted by HUD or its agent to identify a maximum of three priority areas of concern to target the technical assistance.

V. Application Selection Process

(A) General. HUD will review applications on a first-come, first- served basis, until funds under this DETAP section of the SuperNOFA are no longer available. Eligible applications will be funded in the order in which negotiations for a statement of work are completed. HUD- Initiated applications will be received throughout the year with no deadline or until funds are expended.

(B) Threshold Submission Requirements for Funding Consideration. In addition to required forms, certifications and assurances, found in the General Section of the SuperNOFA, the following requirements must be included in your application to be considered and approved for funding: If you are requesting TA services, you must meet the following requirements:
(1) The applicant must answer the following questions: Note: You cannot request technical assistance under DETAP by answering ``to conduct a needs assessment or survey.'' You must be able to discuss what prevents you from identifying, describing, and/or measuring the problems for which you are requesting technical assistance. You must list your needs for TA in order of priority:
(a) Describe in detail the problem, issue or weakness that hinders the proper administration or effectiveness of PHDEP.
(b) Identify what technical assistance you would like to receive.
(c) Explain how the technical assistance sought will improve the administration of the grant or the effectiveness of the PHDEP grant program.
(d) Describe how the technical assistance will be used in assisting you in strategic planning. You may wish to address any or all of the following:
(i) Establishment of a framework for annual program evaluation of PHDEP activities;
(ii) Scheduling data collection for evaluation;
(iii) Identification of appropriate performance indicators, interpretation of results of data collection;
(iv) Improving data collection and data elements;
(v) Guidance on the development of your 5-year plan;
(vi) Preparation assistance meeting your PHDEP semiannual performance reporting requirements; or (vii) Crime mapping and identification of appropriate hardware and software.
(e) Specify what outcome you expect to achieve and how it will benefit PHDEP over the next five years. (f) How will the proposed assistance allow you to develop an anti- drug, anti-crime strategy; or how will the proposed assistance fit into your current strategy?
(g) The application must include the form, ``HUD Field Office/AONAP Confirmation Form.''
(h) If your application does not meet the requirements described above it will not be considered for funding.

(C) Application Awards.
(1) If your application is deemed eligible for funding and sufficient funds are available, you will be contacted by HUD or its agent to confirm the work requirements. Only one application will be accepted from a HA, Indian tribe or TDHE; or group of RCs, ROs or RMCs in proximity to one another. HUD may exercise its discretion to consider any two or more applications as one, assuming that the applications are received at the same time, or before approval by the Chief Financial Officer and the Office of Procurement and Contracts, executing the contract, and providing notification to the consultant to proceed to work. If two or more applications from HAs or resident groups are combined, the consultant to provide the combined technical assistance should have the capability to administer both or all types of technical assistance being requested by each applicant. (3) Once your application for TA has been reviewed and found acceptable by HUD, the TA Consultant Database will be searched for consultants who have: (a) A principal place of business or residence located within the same geographic area as the applicant. For purposes of this program section of the SuperNOFA, the term ``geographic area'' refers to, in order of priority: city, state, region, and country; (b) The requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities to respond to the request; and (c) The most reasonable (least expensive) fees. (4) HUD will then forward to you a list of suggested consultants from the consultant database. From this list, you must select a consultant to provide your requested TA.

(5)(a) From the list provided by HUD, you must contact and interview a minimum of three TA consultants. HUD may request confirmation from each contacted consultant that they were contacted. To obtain the three consultants, you must continue to call as many consultants as necessary from the list to complete the three interviews. If HUD determines that any consultant was not contacted, HUD (Headquarters) may consider your selection by the applicant void. (b) After contacting each consultant, you must send a written justification for your recommended selection in order preference. If any are unacceptable, you must also indicate the consultant and the reasons you find them unacceptable. (c) If you find that all referred consultants lack the requisite expertise, you must provide written detailed documentation justifying this decision. If HUD determines that your justification is adequate, you will be provided with a second list of potential consultants. (d) If you do not provide HUD the written justification of consultant choice within 30 calendar days, HUD reserves the right to cancel your TA request.

(6)(a) HUD or its agent will work with your selected consultant and you to develop a ``statement of work.'' The statement of work should include:
(i) A time line and estimated budget;
(ii) A discussion of the kind of technical assistance and skills needed to address the problem, and how the technical assistance requested will address these needs; and
(iii) A description of the current crime and drug elimination strategy, and how the requested technical assistance will assist in improving the management and oversight of the PHDEP Grant Program.
(b)(i) When HUD has completed the authorization to begin work, your selected consultant will be contacted to start work. Your consultant must receive written authorization from HUD or its authorized agent before beginning to provide technical assistance. The requesting organization and the relevant Field Office or Area Office of Office of Native American Programs will also be notified that authorization to begin work has been given.
(ii) Work begun before the authorized date will be considered unauthorized and will not be compensated by HUD.
(iii) Consultants will only be reimbursed for a maximum of 30 days of work, which must be completed in fewer than 90 days from the date of the approved statement of work. The exception to this will be for HUD- Initiated technical assistance.

VI. Application Submission Requirements

(A) General. In addition to the program requirements listed in the General Section of this SuperNOFA, each DETAP application must include both the descriptive letter and certification statement to be eligible for funding.

(B) Forms, Certifications and Assurances. Your application must contain the items listed in this Section VI(B). These items include the standard forms, certifications, and assurances listed in Section II(G) of the General Section of the SuperNOFA that are applicable to this funding (collectively, referred to as the ``standard forms''). The standard forms can be found in Appendix B to the General Section of the SuperNOFA. The remaining application items that are forms (i.e., excluding such items as narratives, letters), referred to as the ``non- standard forms'' can be found as Appendix B to this program section of the SuperNOFA. The items are as follows:
(1) Applications must be signed and certified by both the Executive Director or Tribal Council or authorized TDHE official and a resident leader.
(2) The certification must indicate that:
(a) A copy of the application was sent to the local HUD Field Office, Public Housing Directors, or Administrator, Office of Native American Programs;
(b) The application was reviewed by both the housing authority Executive Director or Tribal Council or authorized TDHE official, and a resident leader of your organization; and
(c) Any technical assistance received will be used in compliance with all requirements in the SuperNOFA.
(3) The application must contain a four page (or fewer) application letter responding to each of the requirements listed in Section V(B) of the DETAP section of the SuperNOFA.

VII. Corrections to Deficient Applications

The General Section of the SuperNOFA provides the procedures for corrections to deficient applications.

VIII. Environmental Requirements

In accordance with 24 CFR 50.19(b)(9), the assistance provided under this program relates only to the provision of technical assistance and therefore is categorically excluded from the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and is not subject to environmental review under the related laws and authorities. This determination is based on the ineligibility of real property acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, conversion, leasing, or repair for HUD assistance under this program.
