Subject: REVISE SCOPE OF OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

Terminate for convenience the contract of Policy Masters, Inc., effective April30, 2013, and authorize the issuance of a Request for Proposals for theposition of the Office of the inspector Genera!.

Background: The ongoing re-com petition of the Building Program Manager(PM) contract presents an opportunity to reevaluate a variety of BuildingProgram-related functions. Among them is the Office of the Inspector General(0!G), which was authorized by the Board of Trustees in March 2010. Since itsinception, the office has been filled by Policy Masters, inc., which received acontract to perform the duties of the office starting in October 2010. Sincethen, the Building Program has seen substantial change, and one of theprimary changes of policy to be effectuated by the new PM contract is acentraiization of management and authority. That contract is currently undernegotiation, and it is expected to include the addition of a quality assurancefunction. After review, it has been determined that the current structure of theOIG contract should be reevaiuated and recast in light of the new scope of thePM contract, without artificially constraining that assessment with incumbentcontractua! commitments. Thus, the staff recommends that the Boardterminate the current OIG contract and authorize the development andissuance of a new RFP for the OIG. Staff recommends that the currentcontract with Policy Masters be terminated for convenience, effective April 30,2013.

While it is the intention of staff to complete the RFP process and have acontractor in place by April 30, 2013, delays beyond that date are possible. Insuch a case, staff proposes to make arrangements with current staff or aProgram contractor to administer the Whistleblower Hotline and other timesensitive functions until such time as the contractor is in place to execute thenew OIG functions.
