‘Outcomes in an Electronic Cohort of Elderly Persons and Persons with High Risk
Conditions
Statement of Work
C1 Background and Need
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking collaborators with existing
protocols, procedures, and institutional review boards (IRB) approvals that have been
developed for influenza studies that can be leveraged in innovative ways to adapt the
research infrastructure to meet the urgent needs surrounding novel coronavirus disease
(COVID-19) response. Specifically, innovative solutions are needed to modify these existing
or pre-approved cohorts to conduct surveillance to identify infections with severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), to assess the epidemiology of COVID-19
and to compare COVID-19 with illness associated with co-circulating influenza and other
viruses.
Early data suggest that individuals aged 65 and above, as well as those with underlying health
conditions are especially at risk for poor COVID-19 outcomes, including hospitalization, ICU
admission, and death [1]. Populations in long-term care (LTC) facilities are of interest in light of
an early outbreak and resulting deaths in Washington State [2]. Furthermore, initial U.S. and
international-based findings highlight the role of underlying conditions in COVID-19 related
hospitalizations and ICU admissions, with a particular focus on diabetes mellitus, chronic lung
disease, and cardiovascular disease [3]. There is an urgent need for a network of clinical sites
with timely access to EHR data, that can identify a high-risk cohort to prospectively follow
illness trajectories across settings, including ambulatory, outpatient, inpatient, and LTC while
collecting details on symptoms, severity, duration, and outcomes to address this current
information gap. A research data platform (RDP), such as what we have developed for the
Network to Investigate the Risk of Infiuenza-Associated Outcomes and Influenza Vaccine
Effectiveness Using Integrated Medical and Public Health Records (VISION), can complement
observational protocols that CDC may have in process, and could be implemented in the event
of academic or medical research centers limiting face-to-face active patient enrollment.
Westat serves as the VISION network data coordinating center and single IRB, providing CDC
with project management support and developing a standardized data platform for the
collection of health and respiratory illness testing data, To facilitate a rapid start-up, we
propose to extend the current VISION ROP rather than standing up a new COVID-19
platform to capture the data needed to prospectively examine some of the most difficult-to-
study populations, who may experience some of the most extreme outcomes associated
with COVID-19. Data submission pipelines and storage specific to COVD-19 data will be
established within the VISION RDP.
Identifying older individuals and those with high risk conditions requires partnerships with
‘trusted clinical sites that have the capability to not only identify patients by age andDDocusign Envelope ID: 2576827A-EF35-4987-8812-FOIARSFa35a8
Page 4 of 37
underlying health conditions, but also to track them prospectively as they move through the
health system (e.., tracking a patient from a LTC setting, to the hospital, and back to LTC).
We propose building on our relationships with the current VISION study sites to rapidly
stand up a COVID-19 focused data network. For the VISION project, we went through an
extensive site vetting process, and have four sites that are capable of pulling needed data
elements, and with whom we have existing agreements in place that will allow for the
necessary rapid start-up of this data collection effort.

3. Preparation of Invoices or Vouchers
‘EXHIBIT I~ Summary of All Costs
As shown on the attached Standard Form 1034, identified as EXHIBIT I (SAMPLE), a summary of all
current costs must be shown, This summary consists of alist identifying the general categories and the
amounts incurred during the period covered by the billing, together with the portion of fixed fee (if any)
payable for that period. The reimbursable costs incurred and the dates of the period for which the charges
‘are claimed mus fall within the period specified in the contract.
EXHIBIT Il - Details of Costs Claimed
As shown on the attached Standard Form 1035, identified as EXHIBIT Il (SAMPLE), a detailed
breakdown must be provided to substantiate the categories shown on the summary of costs (see EXHIBIT
1). The following describes some of the categories that might appear on your billings:
(Direct Labor
Direct Labor costs consist of salaries and wages paid for scientific, wehnical, and other work
performed directly for the contract and pursuant to the contract terms. Labor costs, excluding
Fringe benefits and overtime premium pay, will be billed as follows;
List the titles and amounts for employees whose salaries or wages, or portions thereof, were
charged to the contract; show the rate (or hours) worked, and amount for each individual. The cost
of direct labor, which is charged directly o the contract, must be supported by time records
‘maintained in the contractor's office.
(Q) Fringe Benefits
[fits the Contractor's established practice to treat fringe benefits asa direct cost, such costs
should be billed separately asa single item.
NOTE: Fringe benefits, bonuses, et. are usually treated as indirect costs for inclusion in the
overhead pool; however, they may be treated as direct labor costs or as an “Other Direct Charge’
if such treatment isin accordance with the Contractor’ established accounting procedures.
@) Premium Pay
Premium pay isthe difference between the rates and amounts paid for overtime or shift work and
amount normally paid on a straight time basis. Generally such pay is not included in the direct
labor base and should not be included in the billing For “direct labor” unless the Contractor has
consistently followed this practice in the past as a matter of policy. Premium pay of any kind
unless provided for in the contract must be authorized by the Contracting Officer in advance,
Billings for unauthorized premium pays have caused frequent delays in payment due to
suspensions and exchange of correspondence. Citations of authorization for premium pay will
avoid delays in payment. Authorized premium pay may be shown as a single item on the summaryDDocusign Envelope ID: 2576827A-EF35-4987-8812-FOIARSFa35a8
Page 24 of 37
of costs. However, it must be separately itemized for each position, or job category, showing the
amount, and a citation of the Contracting Officer’s letter of authorization on the continuation sheet
‘of the invoice or voucher,
(4) Materials and Supplies
Only those items, which the Contractor normally treats as “direct costs", should be claimed under
this heading. Majo classifications of material only should be billed separately under appropriate
classification. Items costing less than $25.00 may be listed by category of materials or supplies.
Show the description and dollar amount of individual classifications. All such charges must be
supported by the Contractor's office records,
(5)Travel
‘When authorized in the contract as a direct cost, travel costs that are directly related t0 specific
contract performance may be billed as a direct cost. Travel cost detail should show:
(a) Name of traveler and official ttle,
(b)_ Purpose of trip,
(©) Dates of departure and return to starting point (station or aixpott),
(@)_ Transportation costs, identified as t ral, air, private automobile (including mileage

a CDC-approved Data Management Plan (DMP) ~ a plan for digital data management, sharing, and preservation is
required prior to commencing any related services or work, For contracts where public health data collection or
generation activities may become necessary during the period of performance (e.g. via contract modification), a
DMP will be required to be submitted and evaluated during the period of performance. The DMP is a deliverable
and a living document that should be updated throughout the life cycle of data. A final DMP is required at the end
of the contract performance that shows where the data are deposited and how they are being made accessible or
justification provided for not doing so,DDocusign Envelope ID: 2576827A-EF35-4987-8812-FOIARSFa35a8
Page 28 of 37
Data Management Plan
A.DMP for each collection and/or generation of public health data should include the following information:
‘© A description of the public health data to be collected or generated in the contract period of
performance;
‘© Standards to be used for the collected or generated public health data;
‘© Mechanisms for or limitations to providing access to and sharing of the data (include a description of
provisions for the protection of privacy, confidentiality, security, intellectual property, or other rights)
‘or justification for why data cannot be made accessible. This section should address access to

Access to and Archiving of the Data
‘To the extent that is feasible, contractors should make public health data accessible, Rights in Data clauses (FAR
52.227-14 Rights in Data ~ General, 52.227-16, Additional Data Requirements, FAR 52.227-17 Rights in Data —
Special Works, or FAR 52.227-18 Rights in Data-Existing Works), may be applicable and incorporated into
contracts, depending on the Statement of Work involved. The data rights clauses give the government “unlimited
rights” in data first produced (when funded by government solely) in the performance of a contract. “Unlimited
rights” is an unlimited license to use, disclose or reproduce the data; it does not give the government ownership of
the data. Unlimited rights in data would allow the government to archive and make public non-proprietary data first
produced in contract performance.
Contracts that do not inelude terms for submintal of public health data to CDC, ate expected to plan and prepare for
providing access to, and archiving/long-term preservation of, collected and/or generated data within the contract
period of performance, as set forth below. The final version of a collected and/or generated data set intended for
release or sharing should be made available within thirty (30) months after the end of the data collection or
generation, except surveillance data, which should be made accessible within a year ofthe end of a collection cycle.
For public use de-identified (removal of sensitive identifiable or potentially identifiable information) datasets, an
accompanying data dictionary, and other documentation relevant to use of the data set should be deposited in a
sustainable repository to provide access to the data. Data that cannot be de-identified can be provided as restricted
data upon request under a data-use agreement or onsite controlled use
For data underlying a scientific publication, the contractor shall make the data available coincident with publication
of the paper, at a minimum a machine-readable version of the data tables shown in the paper, unless the data set is
already available via a elease or sharing mechanism. In addition, contractors should ensure the quality of data they
make accessible and seek to provide the data in a machine readable and nonproprietary format, Contractors who fail
to release public health data in a timely fashion may be subject to procedures normally used to address failure 10
comply with the terms and conditions of the contract and may be grounds for the Contracting Officer to terminate
the contract for default, Irrespective of whether the data are made accessible or not, Public health data of value
should be preserved long-term,
A final DMP is required at the end of the contract performance. The final DMP will indicate the location of the
deposited data and the manner of access granted to the data, There needs to be an adequate justification for not
‘making data accessible and this justification must be documented in the DMP and approved by the Contracting
Officer's Representative.DDocusign Envelope ID: 2576827A-EF35-4987-8812-FOIARSFa35a8

In accordance with FAR 42.15, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will review and evaluate
contract performance, FAR 42.1502 and 42,1503 requires agencies to prepare evaluations of contractor
performance and submit them to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The CDC utilizes the
Department of Defense (DOD) web-based Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to
prepare and report these contractor performance evaluations, All information contained in these assessments may be
used by the Government, within the limitations of FAR 42.15, for future source selections in accordance with FAR
15.304 where past performance isan evaluation factor.
‘The CPARS system requires a contractor representative to be assigned so that the contractor has appropriate input
into the performance evaluation process, The CPARS contractor representative will be given access to CPARS and.
will be given the opportunity to concur or nol-concur with performance evaluations before the evaluations are
complete, The CPARS contractor representative will also have the opportunity to add comments to performance
evaluations.
‘The assessment is not subject to the Disputes clause of the contract, nor is it subject to appeal beyond the review and
comment procedures described in the guides on the CPARS website. Refer to: www.cpars.gov for details and
additional information related to CPARS, CPARS user access, how contract performance assessments are
conducted, and how Contractors participate. Access and training forall persons responsible for the preparation and
review of performance assessments is also available at the CPARS website
The contractor must provide the CDC contracting office with the name, e-mail address, and phone number of theit
designated CPARS representative who will be responsible for logging into CPARS and reviewing and commenting
‘on performance evaluations. The contractor must maintain a current representative to serve as the contractor
representative in CPARS. It is the contractor's responsibility to notify the CDC contracting office, in writing (letter
oor email), when their CPARS representative information needs to be changed or updated. Failure to maintain
current CPARS contractor representative information will result in the loss of an opportunity to review and
comment on performance evaluations.
