Ukholo endakha ndanalo kulawulo lukaChristie lokukhokela inkqubo yokubuyiswa kweSandy luye lwacothwa lutshintshwa yinkxalabo enzulu nengxaki yokuphinda-phinda amanyathelo, utshilo uSchaer. Xa iinkxalabo zaziphakanyiswa okokuqala malunga nokususwa kwesivumelwano sokungcola esangena kunye no-Ashbritt ngaphezulu konyaka ophelileyo, uninzi lwalunethemba lokuba lo mkhwa ungathandabuzekiyo sisiganeko sodwa. Ngokudabukisayo, oko akubonakali kunjalo.
Sibonile ngoku ukuba inkampani uHammerman kunye neGainer (HGI) bagxothiwe phakathi kwezikhalazo eziphazamisayo. Owona mbuzo mkhulu ongaphendulwanga kukuba kutheni le femu kufuneka ihlawulwe phantse i-40 yezigidi zeedola kwizigidi ezingama-68 zeedola, ikhontrakthi yeminyaka emithathu xa begqibe iinyanga ezisixhenxe zomsebenzi ngeli xesha benikezela kuphela malunga ne-200 yezigidi zeedola phantse kwi-1 yezigidigidi zeedola zabelwe iiprojekthi zokubuyisela kwimeko yesiqhelo. Namhlanje sifundile ukuba inkampani ehlaselwe zizikhalazo ngendlela ephethe ngayo iinzame zokubuyisa uKatrina iqeshiwe ukuba ithathe indawo ye-HGI, inyathelo elingabonakalisi ukuzithemba okukhulu.
UConstable uxelele ikomiti kaSchaer ukuba urhulumente uqeshe i-ICF International ukuba ithathe indawo ye-HGI.
Baye baqeshwa bengenayo ikepusi - ke asazi ukuba izakusibiza ntoni, utshilo usihlalo, esongeza ukuba amasebe ekhabhinethi asilele ukunika ikomiti yakhe iimpendulo, endaweni yoko bakhetha ukupasa imbabala.
Kuqala sixelelwe nguNondyebo ukuba olu xanduva luwela kwiSebe leMicimbi yoLuntu (DCA) kwaye namhlanje sixelelwe yiDCA ukuba iwela kuNondyebo, utshilo uSchaher. Oku akubonakali njengokuvuleleka nokungafihlisi.e kufuna ukubekwa esweni okungqongqo ukuphelisa ukungabinakho ukusebenza kunye nokuchitha. Abanini bamakhaya kunye noosomashishini abancinci abasokola ukubuyela ezinyaweni bafanelwe kukungafihlisi, ukulunga noxolo lwengqondo besazi ukuba urhulumente wabo ubeka iimfuno zabo phambili.
I-DCA ithe okokoko i-ICF ifumene ikhontrakthi ngo-Meyi ka-2013, indima yayo ibikukunceda iinzame zokubuyisa zikarhulumente ngokuphuhlisa imigaqo-nkqubo, iinkqubo, kunye nemisebenzi yeenkqubo apho ubuchwephesha benkampani kwimigaqo-nkqubo kunye neenkqubo ze-asethi ziluncedo. Ukongeza, inxalenye yekhontrakthi ifuna ukuba i-ICF incedise uRhulumente ekwandiseni abasebenzi apho kufuneka khona. Ke ngoko, uRhulumente unike i-ICF uxanduva lokuqesha abasebenzi ukuze kugcinwe abasebenzi abachacha kumanqanaba afanelekileyo njengoko iimfuno ziguquka kwinkqubo yokubuyisela kwimeko yesiqhelo.
Nceda uqaphele ukuba iDCA- hayi i-ICF- ilawula aba basebenzi, utshilo uLisa M. Ryan, umlawuli, uQhakamshelwano lweQhinga leDCA. I-ICF iqesha nje abasebenzi ukuze balawulwe nguRhulumente.
Ukucaca, i-ICF ayizisebenzisi iinkqubo zokubuyisela izindlu kuRhulumente; iDCA yile, wongeza uRyan. I-DCA ngoku ilawula amaZiko aSetyenziswa ngokuBuyisela iZindlu alithoba; ukuququzelela isicelo, ukunikezelwa kwamabhaso kunye neenkqubo zokwakha; nokongamela abasebenzi abajonge phambili abanjengabaCebisi beZindlu kunye neengcali zamaziko okufowuna. Ukuxhasa iDCA kule misebenzi yokubuyisela kwimeko yesiqhelo, uRhulumente wongeze abasebenzi bekontraka ngokusebenzisa abathengisi abakhoyo abanjenge-ICF, Acro, Atrium, CBI / Shaw, CGI, Gilbane, NJ 2-1-1, kunye ne-URS.
UConstable uchaze i-ICF njengenkampani esetyenziswa liSebe lezeZindlu noPhuhliso lweeDolophu e-U.S.
Umbuso ufikelele kwamanye amaziko aseburhulumenteni asebenzise i-ICF ngaphambili kwaye wafumanisa ukuba izindululo zifanelekile, utshilo uRyan. Kwakhona, i-ICF yafumana amanqaku kakuhle kwinkqubo yokukhetha ibhidi ebandakanya amalungu eSebe le-Nondyebo kunye neDCA. Akukho nkampani [ngaphandle kokuba yinkampani entsha kraca] ebandakanyekayo kumsebenzi wokubuyisela kwintlekele ongenagxeka.
