SUPPLEMENTAL RISK ANALYSES AND REPORTS ON THE OPERATION OF THE BOSTON UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER NATIONAL EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES LABORATORIES
TASK ORDER NO. 0005
CONTRACT NO. W91278-09-D-0096
11 December 2009

1.0 BACKGROUND: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is conducting additional risk
analyses and site comparisons to supplement impact analyses previously completed for the siting, construction, and operation of the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) at Boston University Medical Center. The NEIDL Risk Assessment (RA) Report will characterize the relative risks for each of the three (3) potential sites and will analyze the relative risks across those sites. The areas for risk analyses for site comparisons are: (1) Boston University Medical Center, BioSquare Research Park, Boston, Massachusetts; (2) the former Boston University Corporate Education Center, Tyngsborough, Massachusetts; and (3) Boston University Sargent Center for Outdoor Education, Peterborough, New Hampshire.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK: This Scope of Work (SOW) is for the Architect-Engineer (A-E) or Tetra Tech Inc. to provide additional effort, expertise, technical, and administrative support in the preparation of additional risk analyses and site comparisons for the Boston University Medical Center NEIDL in Boston, Massachusetts as specified in Enclosure 1. These additional risk analyses will assess potential risks and public health consequences of accidental and malevolent releases of infectious agents and exposure to infectious agents in urban versus less populated locations.

3.0 OBJECTIVE: The principal objective of this effort is to provide the NIH with an RA Report that is an objective appraisal of the potential risks and public health consequences of accidental and malevolent releases of infectious agents and exposure to infectious agents in urban versus less populated locations.

The RA Report shall comply fully with NIH requirements, both procedurally and analytically, and is intended to be sufficient to withstand a challenge in Federal court. The NIH is the customer, but the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Mobile District will be designated as the "Government" in this SOW. USACE, Mobile District will assist the NIH to monitor, review, guide, and approve the A-E's work products.

4.0 DESCRIPTION OF WORK AND SERVICES (Risk Analyses): Enclosure 1 describes the work and services specified by this SOW for preparation of additional risk analyses and site comparisons.
