Questions and Answers for potential Proposers
Q: It appears that the scope of the work will include reviewing RCAC reports, newsletters and other relevant papers. Do you also expect the contractor to search out resources and contacts outside of RCAC (for example, interviewing/researching Alyeska Pipeline)?
A: Our expectations as to information sources are described in the RFP under “Scope of Work” and we expect the Then-and-Now report to rely primarily on the documentary sources cited there.
Q: Apart from potentially traveling to an RCAC meeting to present the report or meet with the assigned project manager, do you see the need for any additional travel?
A: We do not expect to direct the contractor to engage in any travel, other than possible travel for the purpose of making a presentation at one of our board meetings. The council does not expect to be able to devote staff time to researching, retrieving, copying, packaging, and mailing documents to the contractor. Accordingly, proposals should include any necessary travel for the contractor to visit the council offices for the purpose of meeting with the contract manager, and/or conducting research for the project.
RFP: Hydrocarbon Toxicity
Deadline: June 9, 2008, 5:00PM Alaska Time
The Prince William Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council (PWSRCAC) is inviting proposals for laboratory studies that will address the gaps in knowledge regarding chronic toxic effects of Alaska North Slope Crude Oil (oil) under study conditions closely approximating the marine waters in PWSRCAC’s region. These effects will be evaluated with regard to oil, dispersed oil and in-situ burn (ISB) residue.
Experts Wanted: The citizens' council routinely retains expert professionals to assist us in carrying out research, commenting on contingency plans, peer-reviewing reports, and other tasks related to our mission of promoting safe oil transportation.

Thanks for your interest in PWSRCAC.
