The Situation

Since 1991, BMRA has evaluated the FTA’s grant recipients’ procurement aspects by providing them with advice and assistance in properly procuring services, material, and construction using FTA grant funding.

These services require Procurement System Reviews (PSR), which determine if recipients are meeting requirements set by FTA regulations, the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, Audit Requirements for Federal Awards at 2 CFR Part 200 (Uniform Guidance), and contractual/grant agreements with FTA, and can identify issues and provide corrective actions. Our consulting work with the FTA includes conducting these PSRs and finding issue areas, solutions when non-compliant, and proposing industry best practices.

Outside of PSRs, BMRA gladly supports the FTA and Transit Agencies through special assignments such as work with the Hawaii Procurement Department to design and deliver a means and methodology to track contractor past performance.

The Goal
Continued support in all areas

In our 30 years of consulting work with the FTA, we have performed over 100 PSRs, identified areas of needed training, and conducted numerous audits of contracts to ensure federal compliance. As a result, BMRA located areas in need of improvement such as recipient procurement operations, delivering technical assistance, systemic and policy issues, and non-compliance or risks.

We offered solutions and facilitated their correction as well as contributed to the long-term education of procurement professionals by supplying the FTA with job aids.

The procurement cycle is depicted as a circular loop and is as follows: 1. Procurement Planning 2. Procurement Method Determination 3. Vendor Selection 4. Contract Formation & Award 5. Contract Management
Services provided to the FTA:

Scheduling

 Technical Assistance

The Results
We always strive to exceed expectations

“[BMRA] consultants were knowledgeable about federal statutes and requirements
and went above and beyond to seek out many different departments to audit”.
