Status
A contract modification and execution of an optional task was executed in the amount of $357,813. The modification was to add the 28 new Real Choice Systems Change Grants (RCSC) grants and increase the expected attendance at the Medicaid Infrastructure Grant (MIG) conference from 110 to 200. The optional task, product inventory for DMIE grants, is now an official task. The contractor is completing the contract tasks on time, effectively, and efficiently. The contractor has had difficulty keeping staff and the turnover has caused delays in completing tasks. The contractor has been put on notice of the requirement to fulfill their obligations under the contract. By late December of 2008, all positions were filled. In 2009, the funding was increased by $38,020 and a new Project Officer was assigned to the contract.
