Launch Ramp Work: The possible locations for the work may consist of one or more of seven (7) existing launch ramp locations and the possibility of three (3) new locations, all on Lake Mead. The primary work items will consist of demolition and removal of the existing asphalt boat launch ramps and replacement with concrete boat launch ramps as shown on the drawings. See ramp locations and approximate square yardage below. The quantities used are intended only to approximate work that may be ordered at each location and to be used as a basis for establishing unit prices. The individual task orders will include specific designs and actual quantities at the time the work order is executed. The length of the launch ramp construction will vary depending on the actual water level of Lake Mead at the time the work order is executed. 1. Launch ramps will be extended as close as possible to the existing water level at the time of construction. Contractor will be expected to plan their operations to coordinate with this low water level and construct the maximum length of ramp possible at all locations. 2. Underwater construction, cofferdams or dewatering are not anticipated under this contract and unit pricing should not include these methods for accomplishing the launch ramp work. If underwater construction, cofferdams and/or dewatering are determined to be necessary by the contracting officer's representative for accomplishment of work under a particular work order, then an equitable adjustment to the unit price will be determined prior to beginning the work. 3. Work orders issued under this contract may also involve other work items associated with the individual launch ramp locations, including but not limited to concrete curbing, concrete sidewalk, anchor points, breakwaters, courtesy docks, repairs to keep existing ramp functioning, lighting, and accessible loading platforms. 4.

Final compensation will be negotiated within the listed market value based upon the candidate's past salary, work history and educational background. 6. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: 2 years, renewable up to 5 years 7. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: San Jose, Costa Rica with possible travel as stated in the position description. 8. STATEMENT OF WORK POSITION DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND The Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) within USAID is responsible for providing non-food humanitarian assistance in responding to international crises and disasters. It is part of the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA). To fulfill its mandate to effectively respond to disasters worldwide, OFDA maintains five permanent regional offices and one sub-regional office. The regional offices are located in San Jose, Costa Rica, Bangkok, Thailand, Dakar, Senegal, Nairobi, Kenya, and Pretoria, South Africa. The Asia sub-regional office is located in Kathmandu, Nepal. The vulnerability of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) countries to natural, technological, and conflict-related disasters has increased in recent years due to population pressures, urbanization and habitation of marginal lands, large investments in infrastructure in vulnerable areas, rapid and uncontrolled industrialization, and other factors. The capacity of many LAC countries to manage disasters has substantially grown in recent years. Many countries are now generally capable of managing disasters up to moderate severity without external assistance. In major events, however, most countries in the region face a serious risk of having their overall coping capacities overwhelmed by disaster response requirements. OFDA's strategy in Latin America and the Caribbean seeks to reduce the demand for disaster relief, principally by increased preparedness and mitigation activities at the national and community level, and by strengthening governments' capacity to meet immediate post disaster needs so as to prevent deterioration in the situation of disaster victims. INTRODUCTION OFDA is organized into three divisions, under the management of the Office of the Director. The Disaster Response and Mitigation Division (DRM) is responsible for coordinating with other organizations for the provision of relief supplies and humanitarian assistance. DRM also devises, coordinates, and implements program strategies for a variety of natural and human caused disaster situations. DRM hires sector specialists to provide technical expertise in assessing the quality of disaster response. The Program Support Division (PS) provides programmatic and administrative support including budget/financial services, procurement planning, contracts and grants administration, and communication support for OFDA's Washington and field offices. The Operations Division (OPS) develops and manages logistical, operational, and technical support for disaster responses and administrative support to all offices and operations. OPS maintains readiness to respond to emergencies through several mechanisms, including managing Search and Rescue (SAR) Teams, Disaster Assistance Response Teams (DARTs), and Washington-based Response Management Teams (RMTs). OBJECTIVE LAC Regional Team requires the services of a Regional Advisor in its regional office in San Jose, Costa Rica, to ensure that OFDA's objectives for strategic analysis, coordination of disaster response activities, monitoring and reporting on OFDA-funded activities, and identification and formulation of disaster preparedness, mitigation and training programs for the region are effectively met. 9. CORE FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES This position requires an individual who is able to travel outside of Costa Rica on short notice for up to two-three weeks at a time, or longer, on occasion. The contractor will actively develop and coordinate preparedness, mitigation and training programs to increase the capability of host governments, international organizations (IOs), and non governmental organizations (NGOs) to respond and prepare for disasters in the affected region. In addition, this position requires general professional proficiency [equivalent to Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) level 3, or higher] in speaking and writing the Spanish language, in order to work effectively in the region. Focusing primarily on Latin America and the Caribbean countries, the Regional Advisor will be responsible for the following: Disaster Response - Working directly under the guidance and supervision of the Senior Regional Advisor, the contractor will: * Travel to the scene of a disaster or potential disaster and conduct initial assessments of damages and needs; determine appropriate relief assistance and emergency interventions, in consultation with Washington and/or the Senior Regional Advisor; * Coordinate and maintain close liaison with senior representatives of host government, donor governments, IOs, NGOs, U.S. Embassy, and USAID missions to ensure efficient and coordinated disaster response activities; * Monitor DCHA/OFDA funded activities; * Approve OFDA relief supply requests in consultation with OFDA Washington and coordinate receipt, distribution, tracking, and accounting of supplies; * Facilitate and coordinate the arrival and departure of DARTs with the U.S. Mission and, as required, serve on DARTs for short periods of time; * Prepare field information and reports, as required by the OFDA/LAC regional office and OFDA/Washington. Disaster Preparedness - Working closely with the OFDA/LAC regional office and OFDA/Washington, and drawing on the skills and technical expertise within the office and available through inter- and intra-agency agreements, the contractor will assist representatives of host government organizations, IOs, and NGOs in the development of strong emergency and disaster preparedness/mitigation programs. Specifically, the contractor will: * Prepare regular strategic and analytical reports on current or anticipated emergencies, as well as comprehensive preparedness documentation on assigned countries; * Assist with the design, development, and implementation of strategies and integrated disaster assistance for OFDA, USAID, local governments, and other donors/organizations as appropriate; * Advise regional officials, including host country authorities and other USAID and/or U.S. Embassy officials on OFDA efforts including the review of sector disaster response and plans; * Provide support for other OFDA initiatives in the assigned region as identified by the LAC Regional Office. Support may include assessment visits, project design/evaluation exercises and hazards/vulnerability/risk analysis; * Coordinate with other agencies/organizations to identify critical disaster concerns affecting the region and countries and develop projects/activities for addressing these; * Work with senior representatives of local and regional institutions and private/public sector organizations to incorporate preparedness and mitigation into appropriate programs. SUPERVISORY RELATIONSHIP: The Regional Advisor will report directly to the Senior Regional Advisor for the LAC Region. However, for certain activities, the Regional Advisor will coordinate tasks with the LAC Regional Coordinator in OFDA/Washington. SUPERVISORY CONTROLS: Supervisory controls will be minimal. The Regional Advisor is expected to act independently with little direction and will have wide latitude for the exercise of independent judgment. The Senior Regional Advisor will provide direction in terms of broadly defined program goals and objectives. 10. PHYSICAL DEMANDS The work may require daily physical activity.
