- Description
- The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)/Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS/JPO) is seeking partners to foster the development of the Standards Boulevard. The Standards Boulevard, ("Boulevard") is a new initiative that requires the participation and support of the vendor community to fully achieve its desired objectives of informing and educating the transportation community about ITS standards. The purpose of this Request for Partner Proposals (RFPP) is to introduce the Standards Boulevard Program to the vendor community, to describe how the Boulevard is envisioned to operate in the short- and long-term, and to provide information about how a vendor can apply to become a Standards Boulevard partner. (NOTE: Download this solicitation in its entirety for the complete RFPP and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The JPO believes that the Boulevard will provide a mechanism through which the U.S. DOT and the vendor community can accomplish complementary goals. A greater understanding of ITS standards and the solutions ITS can offer to the transportation community will lead to a greater demand for ITS products and services. Your interest in this proposal is most welcomed by the ITS/JPO. All interested parties should submit their proposal in accordance with the attached RFPP. The MOU and RFPP and all related documents and amendments, if any, will only be released and available electronically through the Electronic Posting System (EPS) under FedBizOpps at www.eps.gov. Choose the "EPS for Vendors" option followed by selection of the DOT/FHWA section. The related documents will be posted under RFQ number DTFH61-02-Q-00020. Note: This is a request for partnership and contribution of resources. This solicitation will not result in a funded contract. This solicitation encourages collaboration rather than competition. The JPO acknowledges the unique nature of the RFPP and the contributions being sought, and is eager to work with the vendor community to craft Boulevard partnerships. The deadline for submitting a proposal is January 25, 2002. Given the short timeframe for Boulevard development, as soon as your firm determines interest, please call Jim Allen at the number below. Questions regarding the RFPP should also be directed to: Jim Allen, ITS/Transportation Engineer (202) 366-2211 jim.allen@fhwa.dot.gov
