FEMA recently shared that disaster cost recovery training is one of the weakest links in emergency management. With the majority of de-obligated dollars attributed to procurement, the Procurement Officer’s guidance is invaluable toward protecting FEMA recovery dollars. We’ll take a dive into topics that will arm you to not only take a seat at the recovery planning table but will inspire your organization to save you a seat because of your advanced knowledge navigating FEMA recovery pitfalls. Topics will include: profit negotiated as a separate element, cost plus contracts, deciphering form vs. function, determining proper use of time and materials contracts, how to deal with a single response to a bid, and FEMA’s view of Intergovernmental Agreements Joint Procurements.
