Transition and Implementation Support
By LA Darnell
With the deployment of CMDP to Production and the re-start of development for SDWIS Prime we wanted to remind Primacy Agencies about potential funding options for transition and implementation support. The 2017 Exchange Network (EN) Grant Solicitation has been published. SDWIS Prime & CMDP are both on the EN Priority Systems list . The FY17 National Environmental Information Exchange Network Grant solicitation notice can be accessed by clicking the link.
EN Grant Applications are due on Nov 18, 2016.
DWSRF set aside (both 10% & 15% ) and PWSS grant funds may be used to support transition to and implementation of SDWIS Prime & CMDP.
EPA has a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) in place for Primacy Agencies to use for implementation support. There are two vendors on the BPA: Peridot Solutions & Eastern Research Group. Both will compete for Primacy Agency tasks as they are identified through Statements of Work submitted to EPA. Please email sdwisprime@epa.gov for assistance with transition support for CMDP or SDWIS Prime.
