    The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for maintaining and enhancing the Remedial Action Cost Engineering and Requirements (RACER™) software, utilized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The contractor is responsible for analyzing the current Problem/Change Request (P/CR) list, researching defects, and updating model documentation for version 11.13 of RACER. Key tasks include thorough analysis of the P/CR list, proposing remediation schedules, developing solutions, and updating technology documentation. Performance metrics dictate at least 90% task completion on time and with accuracy. The contractor must ensure proper communication with government personnel, maintain high-quality standards throughout all project phases, and adhere to specified deadlines for deliverables. Additionally, the government will supply relevant documentation and guidelines but expects the contractor to provide qualified personnel and resources. The PWS emphasizes systematic documentation and comment management processes to ensure government feedback is incorporated effectively. A strict invoicing process is outlined for contractor payments, stressing the importance of compliance with financial regulations. Overall, this initiative ensures the RACER software remains an efficient tool for cost estimation in environmental remediation across federal agencies.
