("FTA Dear Colleague" letter, October 1, 1998). In order to assist in the performance of your review, to determine if a situation exists where you may be able to participate in the piggybacking (assignment) of an existing agreement, the following considerations are provided. Ensure that your final file includes documentation substantiating your determination. WORKSHEET YES NO 1. Have you obtained a copy of the contract and the solicitation document, including the specifications and any Buy America Pre-award or Post- Delivery audits? 2. Does the solicitation and contract contain an express “assignability” clause that provides for the assignment of all or part of the specified deliverables? 3. Did the Contractor submit the “certifications’ required by Federal regulations? See BPPM Section 4.3.3.2. 4. Does the contract contain the clauses required by Federal regulations? See BPPM Appendix A1. 5. Were the piggybacking quantities included in the original solicitation; i.e., were they in the original bid and were they evaluated as part of the contract award decision? 6. If this is an indefinite quantity contract, did the original solicitation and resultant contract contain both a minimum and maximum quantity, and did these represent the reasonably foreseeable needs of the parties to the contract? 7. If this piggybacking action represents the exercise of an option in the contract, is the option provision still valid or has it expired? 8. Does your State law allow for the procedures used by the original contracting agency: e.g., negotiations vs. sealed bids? 9. Was a cost or price analysis performed by the original contracting agency documenting the reasonableness of the price? Obtain a copy for your files. Have you performed a market analysis of the prices to be paid and have you determined the price to be fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Agency? 10. If the contract is for rolling stock or replacement parts, does the contract term comply with the five-year term limit established by FTA? See FTA Circular 4220.1F, Chapter IV, 2 (14) (i). 11. Was there a proper evaluation of the bids or proposals? Include a copy of the analysis in your files. 12. If you will require changes to the vehicles (deliverables), are they “within the scope” of the contract or are they “cardinal changes”? See BPPM Section 9.2.1.
