## Description

Announcement amended on March 4, 2024, to revise proposal submission date and time to remove the requirement for submission via SAM.GOV (inoperable for this notice) in addition to e-mail submission. Revised instructions are provided in the attached "Amended Provision L.1 - Offeror's Instructions.docx."

The Contractor will support the Department of Energy by administering the Workers’ Compensation Third Party Administrator Services. All actions necessary to accomplish the requirements of this contract are part of the fixed-price contract for services. Payments made on behalf of DOE-Hanford are outside of the fixed-price and are authorized for payment using the U.S. Treasury’s Automated Standard Application for Payment (ASAP) regular account.

The Contractor will utilize the ASAP regular account that provides next-day payment services to contracts approved for advance funding for the administration of Workers’ Compensation claims.

Examples include claim specific expenses (such as payments for time loss, independent medical examinations, permanent partial disability awards, vocational rehabilitation, etc.), other legal expenses as approved, pension payments, and all other amounts appropriately assessed by L&I, supplemental pension assessments and administrative assessments unless otherwise provided in the MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU), Attachment J.2). The Contractor will not be required to provide funds to cover these payments.

If, in the Contractor's judgment, the total amount of payments that will be disbursed from the account within the next 30 days will exceed the total funds available, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer (CO) in writing. In no case will the Contractor issue checks in excess of the funds available.
