Introduction
The purpose of the Procurement Management Plan is to define
the procurement requirements for the project and how it will be
managed from developing procurement documentation through
contract closure. The Procurement Management Plan defines
the following:
· Items to be procured with justification statements and
timelines
· Type of contract to be used
· Risks associated with procurement management
· How procurement risks will be mitigated through contract
performance metrics, insurance, or other means
· Determining costs and if/how they’re used as evaluation
criteria
· Any standardized procurement templates or documents to be
used
· How multiple suppliers will be managed if applicable
· Contract approval process
· Decision criteria
· Establishing contract deliverables and deadlines
· How procurement and contracts are coordinated with project
scope, budget, and schedule
· Any constraints pertaining to procurement
· Direction to sellers on baseline requirements such as contract
schedules and work breakdown structures (WBSs)
· Vendor Management
· Identification of any prequalified sellers if applicable
· Performance metrics for procurement activities
This Procurement Management Plan sets the procurement
framework for this project. It will serve as a guide for
managing procurement throughout the life of the project and
will be updated as acquisition needs change. This plan
identifies and defines the items to be procured, the types of
contracts to be used in support of this project, the contract
approval process, and decision criteria. The importance of
coordinating procurement activities, establishing firm contract
deliverables, and metrics in measuring procurement activities is
included. Other items included in the procurement management
plan include: procurement risks and procurement risk
management considerations; how costs will be determined; how
standard procurement documentation will be used; and
procurement constraints.
Procurement Management Approach
The Procurement Management Plan should be defined enough to
clearly identify the necessary steps and responsibilities for
procurement from the beginning to the end of a project. The
project manager must ensure that the plan facilitates the
successful completion of the project and does not become an
overwhelming task in itself to manage. The project manager
will work with the project team, contracts/purchasing
department, and other key players to manage the procurement
activities.
The Project Manager will provide oversight and management for
all procurement activities under this project. The Project
Manager will work with the project team to identify all items to
be procured for the successful completion of the project. The
Project Management Office (PMO) will then review the
procurement list prior to submitting it to the contracts and
purchasing department. The contracts and purchasing
department will review the procurement items, determine
whether it is advantageous to make or buy the items, and begin
the vendor selection, purchasing and the contracting process.
Procurement Definition
The purpose of procurement definition is to describe, in specific
terms, what items will be procured and under what conditions.
Sometimes items which must be procured for a project can be
made internally by an organization. Additionally, procurement
deadlines are usually affected by the project schedule and are
needed by certain times to ensure timely project completion.
This section is where these items must be listed, justified, and
the conditions must be set. Any important technical information
should also be included. Individuals may also be listed with
authority to approve purchases in addition to or in the absence
of the project manager.
The following procurement items and/or services have been
determined to be essential for project completion and success.
The following list of items/services, justification, and timeline
are pending PMO review for submission to the contracts and
purchasing department:
Item/Service

Jane Doe Lead Engineer
Bob Jones Design Technician
Type of Contract to be Used
The purpose of this section is to describe the type of contract to
be used so the contracts and purchasing department can proceed
accordingly. There are many different types of contracts like
firm-fixed price, time and materials (T&M), cost-reimbursable,
and others. Different procurement items may also require
different contract types. A well defined product may be a firm-
fixed price while a product which will require a research and
development effort may be a T&M contract.
All items and services to be procured for this project will be
solicited under firm-fixed price contracts. The project team
will work with the contracts and purchasing department to
define the item types, quantities, services and required delivery
dates. The contracts and purchasing department will then
solicit bids from various vendors in order to procure the items
within the required time frame and at a reasonable cost under
the firm fixed price contract once the vendor is selected. This
contract will be awarded with one base year and three option
years.
Procurement Risks
The purpose of this section is to identify any potential risks
associated with procurement for the project. Depending on the
contract type, items or services being purchased, vendor history,
or uncertainties in the project’s scope, schedule, or budget,
potential risks may require more detailed planning and
mitigation strategies. For instance, if an organization has a
close relationship to a particular vendor but there is a chance
that vendor will no longer to be able to provide goods or
services needed, this represents a significant risk to the
project’s procurement activities that must be managed.
All procurement activities carry some potential for risk which
must be managed to ensure project success. While all risks will
be managed in accordance with the project’s risk management
plan, there are specific risks which pertain specifically to
procurement which must be considered:
· Unrealistic schedule and cost expectations for vendors
· Manufacturing capacity capabilities of vendors
· Conflicts with current contracts and vendor relationships
· Configuration management for upgrades and improvements of
purchased technology
· Potential delays in shipping and impacts on cost and schedule
· Questionable past performance for vendors
· Potential that final product does not meet required
specifications
These risks are not all-inclusive and the standard risk
management process of identifying, documenting, analyzing,
mitigating, and managing risks will be used.
Procurement Risk Management
The purpose of this section is to describe how risks related
specifically to procurement activities will be managed. All
projects should have an independent and thorough risk
management plan. However, much like there are risks which
pertain only to procurement, there are risk management
considerations which may also be unique and apply only to
procurement. This may include involvement of specific
personnel in managing procurement risks or obtaining approval
on mitigation steps from a particular management level within
the organization.
As previously stated, project risks will be managed in
accordance with the project’s risk management plan. However,
for risks related specifically to procurement, there must be
additional consideration and involvement. Project procurement
efforts involve external organizations and potentially affect
current and future business relationships as well as internal
supply chain and vendor management operations. Because of
the sensitivity of these relationships and operations the project
team will include the project sponsor and a designated
representative from the contracting department in all project
meetings and status reviews.
Additionally, any decisions regarding procurement actions must
be approved by the project sponsor or, in his absence, the Vice
President of Contracts before implementation. Any issues
concerning procurement actions or any newly identified risks
will immediately be communicated to the project’s contracting
department point of contact as well as the project sponsor.
Cost Determination
The purpose of this section is to describe how costs will be
determined and if/how they will be used as part of the selection
criteria. For procurements seeking goods and/or services from
an outside vendor, costs are usually provided in response to a
Request for Quote (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP), or a
Request for Bid (RFB). Vendors submit quotes, proposals, or
bids which describe the costs of the good or service in detail to
aid the customer in their decision making. Costs are almost
always used as part of the procurement decision criteria but may
be prioritized differently depending on the organization.
For this project we will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) in
order to solicit proposals from various vendors which describe
how they will meet our requirements and the cost of doing so.
All proposals will include vendor support for items A, B, and C
(from procurement definition paragraph) as well as the base and
out-year costs. The vendors will outline how the work will be
accomplished, who will perform the work, vendors’ experience
in providing these goods, customer testimonials, backgrounds
and resumes of employees performing the work, and a line-item
breakdown of all costs involved. Additionally, the vendors will
be required to submit work breakdown structures (WBSs) and
work schedules to show their understanding of the work to be
performed and their ability to meet the project schedule.
All information must be included in each proposal as the
proposals will be used as the foundation of our selection
criteria. Proposals which omit solicited information or contain
incomplete information will be discarded from consideration.
Standardized Procurement Documentation
The purpose of this section is to describe what standard
procurement documentation will be used as part of the
procurement. For large complex projects, standardization
makes work across all project process areas easier to manage.
When organizations utilize standard forms, templates, and
formats, there is commonality across different projects as well
as different groups within the organization.
The procurement management process consists of many steps as
well as ongoing management of all procurement activities and
contracts. In this dynamic and sensitive environment, our goal
must be to simplify procurement management by all necessary
means in order to facilitate successful completion of our
contracts and project. To aid in simplifying these tasks, we will
use standard documentation for all steps of the procurement
management process. These standard documents have been
developed and revised over a period of many years in an effort
to continually improve procurement efforts. They provide
adequate levels of detail which allows for easier comparison of
proposals, more accurate pricing, more detailed responses, and
more effective management of contracts and vendors.
The PMO maintains a repository on the company’s shared drive
which contains standard project management and procurement
documentation that will be used for this project. The following
standard documents will be used for project procurement
activities:
· Standard Request for Proposal Template to include
· Background
· Proposal process and timelines
· Proposal guidelines
· Proposal formats and media
· Source selection criteria
· Pricing forms
· Statement of work
· Terms and Conditions
· Internal source selection evaluation forms
· Non-disclosure agreement
· Letter of intent
· Firm fixed price contract
· Procurement audit form
· Procurement performance evaluation form
· Lessons learned form
Procurement Constraints
The purpose of this section is to describe any constraints which
must be considered as part of the project’s procurement
management process. These constraints may be related to
schedule, cost, scope, resources, technology, or buyer/seller
relationships. As constraints are identified, they must be
considered every step of the way as procurement activities are
planned and conducted. Every effort must be made to identify
all constraints prior to any project or procurement planning as
constraints identified later in the project lifecycle can
significantly impact the project’s likelihood of success.
There are several constraints that must be considered as part of
the project’s procurement management plan. These constraints
will be included in the RFP and communicated to all vendors in
order to determine their ability to operate within these
constraints. These constraints apply to several areas which
include schedule, cost, scope, resources, and technology:
Schedule:
· Project schedule is not flexible and the procurement activities,
contract administration, and contract fulfillment must be
completed within the established project schedule.
Cost:
· Project budget has contingency and management reserves built
in; however, these reserves may not be applied to procurement
activities. Reserves are only to be used in the event of an
approved change in project scope or at management’s
discretion.
Scope:
· All procurement activities and contract awards must support
the approved project scope statement. Any procurement
activities or contract awards which specify work which is not in
direct support of the project’s scope statement will be
considered out of scope and disapproved.
Resources:
· All procurement activities must be performed and managed
with current personnel. No additional personnel will be hired or
re-allocated to support the procurement activities on this
project.
Technology:
· Parts specifications have already been determined and will be
included in the statement of work as part of the RFP. While
proposals may include suggested alternative material or
manufacturing processes, parts specifications must match those
provided in the statement of work exactly.Contract Approval
Process
The purpose of this section is to define the process through
which contracts must be approved. This process may vary
greatly from company to company but it is important to define
the process within your organization and who is involved in the
decision-making. Typically large purchases follow an
established bidding process and follow a formal selection and
approval process. Smaller purchases can be less formal and can
be approved by the Project or Program Manager. This section
should clearly identify the rules for all procurements within
your organization.
The first step in the contract approval process is to determine
what items or services will require procurement from outside
vendors. This will be determined by conducting a cost analysis
on products or services which can be provided internally and
compared with purchase prices from vendors. Once cost
analyses are complete and the list of items and services to be
procured externally is finalized, the purchasing and contracts
department will send out solicitations to outside vendors. Once
solicitations are complete and proposals have been received by
all vendors the approval process begins. The first step of this
process is to conduct a review of all vendor proposals to
determine which meet the criteria established by the project
team and the purchasing and contracts department. Purchases
less than $x,xxx only require the approval of the Project
Manager; whereas, purchases greater than $x,xxx must be
approved by the Contract Review Board. For these larger
purchases the contract review board will meet to determine
which contract will be accepted. The Contract Review Board
consists of representatives from the project team, purchasing
and contracts department, finance, and the PMO.
Decision Criteria
The purpose of this section is to define the criteria used by the
contract review board to decide on what contract(s) to award.
Again, these criteria may vary between organizations but must
be defined as part of the Procurement Management Plan.
The criteria for the selection and award of procurement
contracts under this project will be based on the following
decision criteria:
· Ability of the vendor to provide all items by the required
delivery date
· Quality
· Cost
· Expected delivery date
· Comparison of outsourced cost versus in-sourcing
· Past performance
These criteria will be measured by the contracts review board
and/or the Project Manager. The ultimate decision will be made
based on these criteria as well as available resources.
Vendor Management
The purpose of this section is to describe the roles and actions
the project team and purchasing and contracts department will
take to ensure that the selected vendors provide all of the
products/services agreed upon and that the appropriate levels of
quality are maintained.
The Project Manager is ultimately responsible for managing
vendors. In order to ensure the timely delivery and high quality
of products from vendors the Project Manager, or his/her
designee will meet weekly with the contract and purchasing
department and each vendor to discuss the progress for each
procured item. The meetings can be in person or by
teleconference. The purpose of these meetings will be to review
all documented specifications for each product as well as to
review the quality test findings. This forum will provide an
opportunity to review each item’s development or the service
provided in order to ensure it complies with the requirements
established in the project specifications. It also serves as an
opportunity to ask questions or modify contracts or
requirements ahead of time in order to prevent delays in
delivery and schedule. The Project Manager will be responsible
for scheduling this meeting on a weekly basis until all items are
delivered and are determined to be acceptable.
Performance Metrics for Procurement Activities
This section describes the metrics to be used for procurement
activities associated with the project. These metrics may be
used to ensure the project stays on schedule regarding
procurement activities. They may also be used to compile data
on the performance of various vendors in order to assist with
future procurement activities’ vendor selection criteria.
While the purchasing and contracts department has their own
internal metrics for procurement, the following metrics are
established for vendor performance for this project’s
procurement activities. Each metric is rated on a 1-3 scale as
indicated below:
Vendor
Product Quality
On Time Delivery
Documentation Quality
Development Costs
Development Time
Cost per Unit
Transactional Efficiency
Vendor #1
Vendor #2
1 – Unsatisfactory
2 – Acceptable
3 - Exceptional
In addition to rating each vendor, actual values will be noted in
order to build a past-performance data base for selecting
vendors for future procurement activities.

CLIMATE MIGRATION: A Potential Opportunity or Threat
By: Missy Stults, PhD., Sustainability and Innovations
Manager, City of Ann Arbor, Michigan
The global climate is changing. To see this reality, we need
look no further than the fires raging in
Australia or the fall 2019 fires that burned in California and
Alaska, the 2019 extreme flooding on the
Missouri and Mississippi Rivers1 (and in numerous inland
communities), the Tropical Storms and
Hurricanes that are increasing in intensity and frequency along
our coast lines, or the increases in
temperature which are occurring nationwide. These changes in
weather and long-term climate are
having devastating impacts on our economy, our social systems,
our health and wellbeing, and our
environment.
The reality of climate change and its associated impacts is
leading many communities to embrace
climate action, which includes mitigating (reducing carbon
pollution) and adapting (preparing for climate
impacts). Traditionally, the first step in local climate action
involves the completion of a greenhouse gas
emissions inventory to understand the main sources of
emissions in a community, as well as the
completion of a climate risk and vulnerability assessment,
which helps identify areas and people most
vulnerable to the impacts associated with a changing climate.
In the City of Ann Arbor, climate planning and action has been
underway for over 15 years. Historically,
this work has focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
with efforts to prepare for changes in local
temperature and precipitation becoming more prominent in the
last several years. More recently, the
City began exploring how the indirect effects of climate change
may impact the City, including things
such as disruptions in supply chains and climate-related
migration. This analysis shed light on the very
real possibility of a significant influx of climate-related
migrants into the region. And it’s not surprising to
see why.
Ann Arbor is a great community with an exceptionally high
quality of life. With the University of
Michigan, a vibrant business community, local commitments to
sustainability, affordable housing, and
walkability, exceptional cultural opportunities, an abundance of
parks and open space, exceptional
healthcare, and high quality public education, Ann Arbor is a
highly desirable place to live. Moreover,
being nested in the Great Lakes region means that the City is
surrounded by the world’s largest source
of freshwater: the Great Lakes. Plus, the climate impacts
already being experienced in Ann Arbor (and
those projected to take place) are not as extreme as those being
experienced in other parts of the
country: the City isn’t directly impacted by sea level rise,
wildfires, crippling extreme heat, vast droughts,
or hurricanes. While the region is experiencing increases in
temperature and pretty notable increases in
precipitation, these impacts are less acute than those being
experienced in other parts of the country.
Effectively, the City’s high quality of life combined with our
access to freshwater and relatively moderate
climate-related impacts makes us a potential receiving
community for climate-related migrants. There is
a catch, however. The City’s current infrastructure – social and
physical – is not prepared for a significant
influx of individuals. But it could be.
That’s why the City applied for a grant through the National
League of Cities (NLC) to explore what
climate-related migration could look like in the Ann Arbor area
and to create a methodology that others

2019: A landmark decade of U.S. billion-dollar weather
and climate disasters.

https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/beyond-data/2010-
2019-landmark-decade-us-billion-dollar-weather-and-climate
can use to integrate climate change and climate-related
migration into population and demographic
modeling.
More specifically, the NLC Resilience Grant allowed the City to
start working with Dr. Matt Hauer from
Florida State University. Dr. Hauer is a demographer that
studies how sea level rise could reshape the
distribution of the U.S. population. His analysis to-date has
found that, through the influence of just sea
level rise and associated flooding, by the end of the century,
there could be as many as 45 million people
living in neighborhoods that flood at least once per year; and
that’s with just 3 feet of sea level rise.
Climate scientists are now rallying behind projections closer to
6-6.5 feet of sea level rise by end of the
century!
Since Dr. Hauer’s first analysis looked at end of century sea
level rise projections of 3 feet, let’s stick with
that for a minute. Using 3 feet of sea level rise and IRS
migration information, Dr. Hauer then projected
where individuals experiencing sea level rise and associated
flooding might move. Not surprisingly,
nearly all will be moving further inland, ideally to places where
they have kin networks or previous
associations. But some are likely coming to Michigan. In fact,
his analysis found that at least 50,000 of
them are projected to head to Ann Arbor and the surrounding
area.
To put this into perspective, Washtenaw County, where Ann
Arbor is nested, currently has a population
of just over 350,000. Adding 50,000 is a significant increase in
population and is likely to cause
substantial strain on existing social and physical infrastructure
– unless we change how we plan and
what we plan for. And remember, this is just projected
population shifts from a modest amount of sea
level rise in the U.S. It doesn’t take into consideration
population changes from those fleeing from
drought, wildlife, extreme heat, inland flooding, hurricanes,
disease, or other climate-related impacts,
not does it take into consideration international migration or
more likely sea level rise projections.
Our work to-date with Dr. Hauer has been extremely
enlightening. Yet we still have a long way to go. We
are just at the beginning of understanding what climate-related
migration might mean for our City and
region. We are, however, committed to working directly with
Dr. Hauer to create a methodology that
allows our region, and all others in the U.S., to understand what
climate change might mean for regional
demographic shifts. And we are committed to integrating
climate-based migration into the planning and
program design the City is currently undertaking.
We realize that climate change is not a distant problem. It is
here and it is already causing significant
impacts in communities across the world. It is imperative that
we continue doing everything we can to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and try avoid as much future
change as possible. It is also imperative
that we immediately begin preparing our communities for the
existing impacts of climate as well as
those that are inevitable. Integrating climate-related
demographic shifts into this work is essential –
because if we don’t, we risk having communities that are
prepared for the past but not the future. That
is why Ann Arbor is committed to not only understanding what
climate change could mean for regional
demographic shifts, but to preparing for those changes to ensure
we are a welcoming community for all.

Subject: The Debate of Overpopulation on Climate Change
Dear John,
I hope this email finds you well.
I’m working on a potential submission to Science Policy Forum
regarding the impacts of overpopulation on climate change,
specifically discussing whether population control is a
reasonable solution to climate change. The paper is tentatively
titled “To what extent is population control the answer to fixing
climate change?” This question is highly controversial due to
how multifaceted the concept of population control is.
Scientists, experts, and policymakers always immediately
discuss the ethics of this as a potential solution, as well as
whether it should be addressed as the root cause of climate
change. A lot of stakeholders studying climate change will
agree that it is an essential topic to be addressed today, that will
affect policymaking in the future.
Population is an issue in climate change that is underreported,
underrated, and under-talked about as an issue in climate
change. According to a scientific journal, it took 123 years for
Earth to go from 1 billion to 2 billion people. Today, this gap
has progressively narrowed, seeing as it only took a decade to
reach the next billion. Even so, it is also important to
understand that global birth rates are potentially on the decline.
The United Nations previously projected that the global
population would reach 11.2 billion by 2100. In June, that
forecast dropped to 10.9 billion. This shows the importance of
understanding how the population is impacting climate change
now and, in the future, as well as potential measures that must
be taken to address population in the realm of climate change.
Although fertility rates are collapsing around the world, the
total fertility rate - the number of births it takes to keep a
population from either increasing or decreasing - is not being
met in many countries. Experts in the topic state that the
population will peak at the middle of the century and then
eventually begin to decline. The root point of discussion is
whether the total fertility rate should be controlled, or if not,
whether there should be policies in place to govern the growth
of the population for the next few years so that it does not
heavily impact the climate more than it has. Another big driver
for this debate is urbanization. In the 1960s, roughly 33% of the
population in the U.S. lived in a city. Now, it is 54%, with the
UN projecting the number to be 68% in 2050. There are many
implications of more people moving to a city that will be
addressed throughout this paper in regard to climate change
implications.
I am writing about the topic of overpopulation regarding to
climate change because of the vast debate that experts and
policymakers are having on whether this should be controlled or
not, and even whether this should be a primary concern in the
quest to tackle climate change. I fear that this topic is not
explored enough, and it is very important to how society is
being shaped.
Thank you for your consideration to potentially publish my
article and I look forward to discussing further.

  • 2. Procurement Risks5 Procurement Risk Management6 Cost Determination6 Standardized Procurement Documentation7 Procurement Constraints8 Contract Approval Process9 Decision Criteria10 Vendor Management10 Performance Metrics for Procurement Activities11 Sponsor Acceptance12 Introduction The purpose of the Procurement Management Plan is to define the procurement requirements for the project and how it will be managed from developing procurement documentation through contract closure. The Procurement Management Plan defines the following: · Items to be procured with justification statements and timelines · Type of contract to be used · Risks associated with procurement management · How procurement risks will be mitigated through contract performance metrics, insurance, or other means · Determining costs and if/how they’re used as evaluation criteria · Any standardized procurement templates or documents to be used · How multiple suppliers will be managed if applicable · Contract approval process · Decision criteria · Establishing contract deliverables and deadlines · How procurement and contracts are coordinated with project scope, budget, and schedule
  • 3. · Any constraints pertaining to procurement · Direction to sellers on baseline requirements such as contract schedules and work breakdown structures (WBSs) · Vendor Management · Identification of any prequalified sellers if applicable · Performance metrics for procurement activities This Procurement Management Plan sets the procurement framework for this project. It will serve as a guide for managing procurement throughout the life of the project and will be updated as acquisition needs change. This plan identifies and defines the items to be procured, the types of contracts to be used in support of this project, the contract approval process, and decision criteria. The importance of coordinating procurement activities, establishing firm contract deliverables, and metrics in measuring procurement activities is included. Other items included in the procurement management plan include: procurement risks and procurement risk management considerations; how costs will be determined; how standard procurement documentation will be used; and procurement constraints. Procurement Management Approach The Procurement Management Plan should be defined enough to clearly identify the necessary steps and responsibilities for procurement from the beginning to the end of a project. The project manager must ensure that the plan facilitates the successful completion of the project and does not become an overwhelming task in itself to manage. The project manager will work with the project team, contracts/purchasing department, and other key players to manage the procurement activities. The Project Manager will provide oversight and management for all procurement activities under this project. The Project Manager will work with the project team to identify all items to be procured for the successful completion of the project. The
  • 4. Project Management Office (PMO) will then review the procurement list prior to submitting it to the contracts and purchasing department. The contracts and purchasing department will review the procurement items, determine whether it is advantageous to make or buy the items, and begin the vendor selection, purchasing and the contracting process. Procurement Definition The purpose of procurement definition is to describe, in specific terms, what items will be procured and under what conditions. Sometimes items which must be procured for a project can be made internally by an organization. Additionally, procurement deadlines are usually affected by the project schedule and are needed by certain times to ensure timely project completion. This section is where these items must be listed, justified, and the conditions must be set. Any important technical information should also be included. Individuals may also be listed with authority to approve purchases in addition to or in the absence of the project manager. The following procurement items and/or services have been determined to be essential for project completion and success. The following list of items/services, justification, and timeline are pending PMO review for submission to the contracts and purchasing department: Item/Service Justification Needed By Item A; 3” x ¾” tool Needed for manufacturing widget type 1; we do not make this item 31 July 20xx Item B; 4” x ½” tool Needed for building tool type 2; we make this item but do not know the cost comparison vs. purchasing it 15 August 20xx
  • 5. Item C Needed for transferring data to new operating system; we do not make this item 1 September 20xx In addition to the above list of procurement items, the following individuals are authorized to approve purchases for the project team: NameRole John Smith Project Manager Jane Doe Lead Engineer Bob Jones Design Technician Type of Contract to be Used The purpose of this section is to describe the type of contract to be used so the contracts and purchasing department can proceed accordingly. There are many different types of contracts like firm-fixed price, time and materials (T&M), cost-reimbursable, and others. Different procurement items may also require different contract types. A well defined product may be a firm- fixed price while a product which will require a research and development effort may be a T&M contract. All items and services to be procured for this project will be solicited under firm-fixed price contracts. The project team will work with the contracts and purchasing department to define the item types, quantities, services and required delivery dates. The contracts and purchasing department will then solicit bids from various vendors in order to procure the items within the required time frame and at a reasonable cost under the firm fixed price contract once the vendor is selected. This contract will be awarded with one base year and three option years. Procurement Risks
  • 6. The purpose of this section is to identify any potential risks associated with procurement for the project. Depending on the contract type, items or services being purchased, vendor history, or uncertainties in the project’s scope, schedule, or budget, potential risks may require more detailed planning and mitigation strategies. For instance, if an organization has a close relationship to a particular vendor but there is a chance that vendor will no longer to be able to provide goods or services needed, this represents a significant risk to the project’s procurement activities that must be managed. All procurement activities carry some potential for risk which must be managed to ensure project success. While all risks will be managed in accordance with the project’s risk management plan, there are specific risks which pertain specifically to procurement which must be considered: · Unrealistic schedule and cost expectations for vendors · Manufacturing capacity capabilities of vendors · Conflicts with current contracts and vendor relationships · Configuration management for upgrades and improvements of purchased technology · Potential delays in shipping and impacts on cost and schedule · Questionable past performance for vendors · Potential that final product does not meet required specifications These risks are not all-inclusive and the standard risk management process of identifying, documenting, analyzing, mitigating, and managing risks will be used. Procurement Risk Management The purpose of this section is to describe how risks related specifically to procurement activities will be managed. All projects should have an independent and thorough risk management plan. However, much like there are risks which pertain only to procurement, there are risk management
  • 7. considerations which may also be unique and apply only to procurement. This may include involvement of specific personnel in managing procurement risks or obtaining approval on mitigation steps from a particular management level within the organization. As previously stated, project risks will be managed in accordance with the project’s risk management plan. However, for risks related specifically to procurement, there must be additional consideration and involvement. Project procurement efforts involve external organizations and potentially affect current and future business relationships as well as internal supply chain and vendor management operations. Because of the sensitivity of these relationships and operations the project team will include the project sponsor and a designated representative from the contracting department in all project meetings and status reviews. Additionally, any decisions regarding procurement actions must be approved by the project sponsor or, in his absence, the Vice President of Contracts before implementation. Any issues concerning procurement actions or any newly identified risks will immediately be communicated to the project’s contracting department point of contact as well as the project sponsor. Cost Determination The purpose of this section is to describe how costs will be determined and if/how they will be used as part of the selection criteria. For procurements seeking goods and/or services from an outside vendor, costs are usually provided in response to a Request for Quote (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP), or a Request for Bid (RFB). Vendors submit quotes, proposals, or bids which describe the costs of the good or service in detail to aid the customer in their decision making. Costs are almost always used as part of the procurement decision criteria but may be prioritized differently depending on the organization.
  • 8. For this project we will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) in order to solicit proposals from various vendors which describe how they will meet our requirements and the cost of doing so. All proposals will include vendor support for items A, B, and C (from procurement definition paragraph) as well as the base and out-year costs. The vendors will outline how the work will be accomplished, who will perform the work, vendors’ experience in providing these goods, customer testimonials, backgrounds and resumes of employees performing the work, and a line-item breakdown of all costs involved. Additionally, the vendors will be required to submit work breakdown structures (WBSs) and work schedules to show their understanding of the work to be performed and their ability to meet the project schedule. All information must be included in each proposal as the proposals will be used as the foundation of our selection criteria. Proposals which omit solicited information or contain incomplete information will be discarded from consideration. Standardized Procurement Documentation The purpose of this section is to describe what standard procurement documentation will be used as part of the procurement. For large complex projects, standardization makes work across all project process areas easier to manage. When organizations utilize standard forms, templates, and formats, there is commonality across different projects as well as different groups within the organization. The procurement management process consists of many steps as well as ongoing management of all procurement activities and contracts. In this dynamic and sensitive environment, our goal must be to simplify procurement management by all necessary means in order to facilitate successful completion of our contracts and project. To aid in simplifying these tasks, we will use standard documentation for all steps of the procurement
  • 9. management process. These standard documents have been developed and revised over a period of many years in an effort to continually improve procurement efforts. They provide adequate levels of detail which allows for easier comparison of proposals, more accurate pricing, more detailed responses, and more effective management of contracts and vendors. The PMO maintains a repository on the company’s shared drive which contains standard project management and procurement documentation that will be used for this project. The following standard documents will be used for project procurement activities: · Standard Request for Proposal Template to include · Background · Proposal process and timelines · Proposal guidelines · Proposal formats and media · Source selection criteria · Pricing forms · Statement of work · Terms and Conditions · Internal source selection evaluation forms · Non-disclosure agreement · Letter of intent · Firm fixed price contract · Procurement audit form · Procurement performance evaluation form · Lessons learned form Procurement Constraints The purpose of this section is to describe any constraints which must be considered as part of the project’s procurement management process. These constraints may be related to schedule, cost, scope, resources, technology, or buyer/seller relationships. As constraints are identified, they must be
  • 10. considered every step of the way as procurement activities are planned and conducted. Every effort must be made to identify all constraints prior to any project or procurement planning as constraints identified later in the project lifecycle can significantly impact the project’s likelihood of success. There are several constraints that must be considered as part of the project’s procurement management plan. These constraints will be included in the RFP and communicated to all vendors in order to determine their ability to operate within these constraints. These constraints apply to several areas which include schedule, cost, scope, resources, and technology: Schedule: · Project schedule is not flexible and the procurement activities, contract administration, and contract fulfillment must be completed within the established project schedule. Cost: · Project budget has contingency and management reserves built in; however, these reserves may not be applied to procurement activities. Reserves are only to be used in the event of an approved change in project scope or at management’s discretion. Scope: · All procurement activities and contract awards must support the approved project scope statement. Any procurement activities or contract awards which specify work which is not in direct support of the project’s scope statement will be considered out of scope and disapproved. Resources: · All procurement activities must be performed and managed with current personnel. No additional personnel will be hired or re-allocated to support the procurement activities on this
  • 11. project. Technology: · Parts specifications have already been determined and will be included in the statement of work as part of the RFP. While proposals may include suggested alternative material or manufacturing processes, parts specifications must match those provided in the statement of work exactly.Contract Approval Process The purpose of this section is to define the process through which contracts must be approved. This process may vary greatly from company to company but it is important to define the process within your organization and who is involved in the decision-making. Typically large purchases follow an established bidding process and follow a formal selection and approval process. Smaller purchases can be less formal and can be approved by the Project or Program Manager. This section should clearly identify the rules for all procurements within your organization. The first step in the contract approval process is to determine what items or services will require procurement from outside vendors. This will be determined by conducting a cost analysis on products or services which can be provided internally and compared with purchase prices from vendors. Once cost analyses are complete and the list of items and services to be procured externally is finalized, the purchasing and contracts department will send out solicitations to outside vendors. Once solicitations are complete and proposals have been received by all vendors the approval process begins. The first step of this process is to conduct a review of all vendor proposals to determine which meet the criteria established by the project team and the purchasing and contracts department. Purchases less than $x,xxx only require the approval of the Project Manager; whereas, purchases greater than $x,xxx must be approved by the Contract Review Board. For these larger
  • 12. purchases the contract review board will meet to determine which contract will be accepted. The Contract Review Board consists of representatives from the project team, purchasing and contracts department, finance, and the PMO. Decision Criteria The purpose of this section is to define the criteria used by the contract review board to decide on what contract(s) to award. Again, these criteria may vary between organizations but must be defined as part of the Procurement Management Plan. The criteria for the selection and award of procurement contracts under this project will be based on the following decision criteria: · Ability of the vendor to provide all items by the required delivery date · Quality · Cost · Expected delivery date · Comparison of outsourced cost versus in-sourcing · Past performance These criteria will be measured by the contracts review board and/or the Project Manager. The ultimate decision will be made based on these criteria as well as available resources. Vendor Management The purpose of this section is to describe the roles and actions the project team and purchasing and contracts department will take to ensure that the selected vendors provide all of the products/services agreed upon and that the appropriate levels of quality are maintained. The Project Manager is ultimately responsible for managing vendors. In order to ensure the timely delivery and high quality of products from vendors the Project Manager, or his/her designee will meet weekly with the contract and purchasing department and each vendor to discuss the progress for each
  • 13. procured item. The meetings can be in person or by teleconference. The purpose of these meetings will be to review all documented specifications for each product as well as to review the quality test findings. This forum will provide an opportunity to review each item’s development or the service provided in order to ensure it complies with the requirements established in the project specifications. It also serves as an opportunity to ask questions or modify contracts or requirements ahead of time in order to prevent delays in delivery and schedule. The Project Manager will be responsible for scheduling this meeting on a weekly basis until all items are delivered and are determined to be acceptable. Performance Metrics for Procurement Activities This section describes the metrics to be used for procurement activities associated with the project. These metrics may be used to ensure the project stays on schedule regarding procurement activities. They may also be used to compile data on the performance of various vendors in order to assist with future procurement activities’ vendor selection criteria. While the purchasing and contracts department has their own internal metrics for procurement, the following metrics are established for vendor performance for this project’s procurement activities. Each metric is rated on a 1-3 scale as indicated below: Vendor Product Quality On Time Delivery Documentation Quality Development Costs Development Time Cost per Unit Transactional Efficiency Vendor #1
  • 14. Vendor #2 1 – Unsatisfactory 2 – Acceptable 3 - Exceptional In addition to rating each vendor, actual values will be noted in order to build a past-performance data base for selecting vendors for future procurement activities.

To see this reality, we need look no further than the fires raging in Australia or the fall 2019 fires that burned in California and Alaska, the 2019 extreme flooding on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers1 (and in numerous inland communities), the Tropical Storms and Hurricanes that are increasing in intensity and frequency along our coast lines, or the increases in temperature which are occurring nationwide. These changes in weather and long-term climate are having devastating impacts on our economy, our social systems, our health and wellbeing, and our environment. The reality of climate change and its associated impacts is leading many communities to embrace climate action, which includes mitigating (reducing carbon pollution) and adapting (preparing for climate impacts). Traditionally, the first step in local climate action involves the completion of a greenhouse gas emissions inventory to understand the main sources of emissions in a community, as well as the completion of a climate risk and vulnerability assessment, which helps identify areas and people most vulnerable to the impacts associated with a changing climate.
  • 16. In the City of Ann Arbor, climate planning and action has been underway for over 15 years. Historically, this work has focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with efforts to prepare for changes in local temperature and precipitation becoming more prominent in the last several years. More recently, the City began exploring how the indirect effects of climate change may impact the City, including things such as disruptions in supply chains and climate-related migration. This analysis shed light on the very real possibility of a significant influx of climate-related migrants into the region. And it’s not surprising to see why. Ann Arbor is a great community with an exceptionally high quality of life. With the University of Michigan, a vibrant business community, local commitments to sustainability, affordable housing, and walkability, exceptional cultural opportunities, an abundance of parks and open space, exceptional healthcare, and high quality public education, Ann Arbor is a highly desirable place to live. Moreover, being nested in the Great Lakes region means that the City is surrounded by the world’s largest source of freshwater: the Great Lakes. Plus, the climate impacts already being experienced in Ann Arbor (and those projected to take place) are not as extreme as those being experienced in other parts of the country: the City isn’t directly impacted by sea level rise, wildfires, crippling extreme heat, vast droughts, or hurricanes. While the region is experiencing increases in temperature and pretty notable increases in precipitation, these impacts are less acute than those being experienced in other parts of the country. Effectively, the City’s high quality of life combined with our
  • 17. access to freshwater and relatively moderate climate-related impacts makes us a potential receiving community for climate-related migrants. There is a catch, however. The City’s current infrastructure – social and physical – is not prepared for a significant influx of individuals. But it could be. That’s why the City applied for a grant through the National League of Cities (NLC) to explore what climate-related migration could look like in the Ann Arbor area and to create a methodology that others 1 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s 2010- 2019: A landmark decade of U.S. billion-dollar weather and climate disasters. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/beyond-data/2010- 2019-landmark-decade-us-billion-dollar-weather-and-climate https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/beyond-data/2010- 2019-landmark-decade-us-billion-dollar-weather-and-climate can use to integrate climate change and climate-related migration into population and demographic modeling. More specifically, the NLC Resilience Grant allowed the City to start working with Dr. Matt Hauer from Florida State University. Dr. Hauer is a demographer that studies how sea level rise could reshape the distribution of the U.S. population. His analysis to-date has found that, through the influence of just sea level rise and associated flooding, by the end of the century, there could be as many as 45 million people living in neighborhoods that flood at least once per year; and
  • 18. that’s with just 3 feet of sea level rise. Climate scientists are now rallying behind projections closer to 6-6.5 feet of sea level rise by end of the century! Since Dr. Hauer’s first analysis looked at end of century sea level rise projections of 3 feet, let’s stick with that for a minute. Using 3 feet of sea level rise and IRS migration information, Dr. Hauer then projected where individuals experiencing sea level rise and associated flooding might move. Not surprisingly, nearly all will be moving further inland, ideally to places where they have kin networks or previous associations. But some are likely coming to Michigan. In fact, his analysis found that at least 50,000 of them are projected to head to Ann Arbor and the surrounding area. To put this into perspective, Washtenaw County, where Ann Arbor is nested, currently has a population of just over 350,000. Adding 50,000 is a significant increase in population and is likely to cause substantial strain on existing social and physical infrastructure – unless we change how we plan and what we plan for. And remember, this is just projected population shifts from a modest amount of sea level rise in the U.S. It doesn’t take into consideration population changes from those fleeing from drought, wildlife, extreme heat, inland flooding, hurricanes, disease, or other climate-related impacts, not does it take into consideration international migration or more likely sea level rise projections. Our work to-date with Dr. Hauer has been extremely enlightening. Yet we still have a long way to go. We are just at the beginning of understanding what climate-related
  • 19. migration might mean for our City and region. We are, however, committed to working directly with Dr. Hauer to create a methodology that allows our region, and all others in the U.S., to understand what climate change might mean for regional demographic shifts. And we are committed to integrating climate-based migration into the planning and program design the City is currently undertaking. We realize that climate change is not a distant problem. It is here and it is already causing significant impacts in communities across the world. It is imperative that we continue doing everything we can to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and try avoid as much future change as possible. It is also imperative that we immediately begin preparing our communities for the existing impacts of climate as well as those that are inevitable. Integrating climate-related demographic shifts into this work is essential – because if we don’t, we risk having communities that are prepared for the past but not the future. That is why Ann Arbor is committed to not only understanding what climate change could mean for regional demographic shifts, but to preparing for those changes to ensure we are a welcoming community for all. From: Divya Chauhan Sent: Friday, February 28th, 2020 To:[email protected] Subject: The Debate of Overpopulation on Climate Change Dear John,
  • 20. I hope this email finds you well. I’m working on a potential submission to Science Policy Forum regarding the impacts of overpopulation on climate change, specifically discussing whether population control is a reasonable solution to climate change. The paper is tentatively titled “To what extent is population control the answer to fixing climate change?” This question is highly controversial due to how multifaceted the concept of population control is. Scientists, experts, and policymakers always immediately discuss the ethics of this as a potential solution, as well as whether it should be addressed as the root cause of climate change. A lot of stakeholders studying climate change will agree that it is an essential topic to be addressed today, that will affect policymaking in the future. Population is an issue in climate change that is underreported, underrated, and under-talked about as an issue in climate change. According to a scientific journal, it took 123 years for Earth to go from 1 billion to 2 billion people. Today, this gap has progressively narrowed, seeing as it only took a decade to reach the next billion. Even so, it is also important to understand that global birth rates are potentially on the decline. The United Nations previously projected that the global population would reach 11.2 billion by 2100. In June, that forecast dropped to 10.9 billion. This shows the importance of understanding how the population is impacting climate change now and, in the future, as well as potential measures that must be taken to address population in the realm of climate change. Although fertility rates are collapsing around the world, the total fertility rate - the number of births it takes to keep a population from either increasing or decreasing - is not being met in many countries. Experts in the topic state that the population will peak at the middle of the century and then eventually begin to decline. The root point of discussion is
  • 21. whether the total fertility rate should be controlled, or if not, whether there should be policies in place to govern the growth of the population for the next few years so that it does not heavily impact the climate more than it has. Another big driver for this debate is urbanization. In the 1960s, roughly 33% of the population in the U.S. lived in a city. Now, it is 54%, with the UN projecting the number to be 68% in 2050. There are many implications of more people moving to a city that will be addressed throughout this paper in regard to climate change implications. I am writing about the topic of overpopulation regarding to climate change because of the vast debate that experts and policymakers are having on whether this should be controlled or not, and even whether this should be a primary concern in the quest to tackle climate change. I fear that this topic is not explored enough, and it is very important to how society is being shaped. Thank you for your consideration to potentially publish my article and I look forward to discussing further. ———————————————- Divya Chauhan Climate Researcher Florida State University Resource Plan A.
