Description

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BUT A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), operated by the University of California for the Department of Energy (DOE), is preparing a solicitation for the preparation of a Site-Wide Transportation Plan (SWTP). The solicitation is being prepared at the request of and under the technical direction of the Project Management - Site and Project Planning Group (PM-1). By issuing this RFI, we are soliciting sources, information and suggestions for the solicitation, including: appropriate type of contract (firm, fixed-price versus time-and-materials, etc.); feasibility of the requirement (including performance requirements and data requirements); statement of work; proposal instructions, and evaluation criteria (including the approach for assessing past performance information); the availability of reference documents; and any other industry concerns or questions. We currently anticipate a two-phase solicitation: In Phase One, we would issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Using published evaluation criteria, we would rank responding sources and determine a Short List of the top-rated sources (approximately three). In Phase Two, we would issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to the short-listed sources only and, using published evaluation criteria, rank responding offerors, select the source offering the best value to the government, and negotiate a contract with that top-ranked source. We anticipate that the contract would be on a time-and-materials basis, although we are open to information that supports a firm, fixed-price approach. Furthermore, the foregoing is simply our current thinking and our approach may change, based on various factors, including programmatic, schedule, or budget needs, as well as responses to this RFI. The selected firm would need to demonstrate transportation planning, traffic engineering, and transportation modeling expertise to develop this plan. The plan would be delivered in hard copy and electronically. Mapping is to be compatible with LANL's GIS/ArcView map system and MS Word formats. The following is a general statement of the work to be performed. More detailed tasks and a schedule would need to be developed: 1. Research and analyze existing transportation systems, including existing conditions and capacities on a site-wide basis. 2. Consider safety and security concerns in the analysis. 3. Provide existing traffic counts for collector and arterial roads, and major intersections. 4. Provide 10-year projection of conditions and capacities of collector and arterial roads. Consider surrounding growth in Los Alamos, White Rock, National Park Service, and Forest Service. 5. Provide 10-year projection of future traffic loads and major intersection requirements based on a list of future construction projects. PM-1 will provide the LANL Ten-Year Comprehensive Site Plan (TYCSP). 6. Identify the most suitable way to accommodate resumption of park and ride shuttle and other transit options. 7. Identify options for resolution of transportation issues as a result of above analysis. 8. Provide transportation infrastructure project recommendations, planning level cost estimates, and project completion schedule. 9. Develop a prioritized list with criteria coordinated with PM-1 10. Document and map plan results and recommendations for integration into the TYCSP and other planning documents. Responses to this RFI are requested to be submitted no later than August 1, 2002 to Gordon Bergman. Electronic responses are encouraged and should be submitted to gbergman@lanl.gov. If providing the information electronically, please ensure that the information is compatible and accessible using Microsoft Office 2000 software. Faxed responses may be sent to (505) 665-3300. Hard-copy responses may be sent (a) by mail to: Gordon Bergman, Los Alamos National Laboratory, P. O.

We do not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI or otherwise pay for the information solicited. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by us will arise as a result of submission of responses to this RFI and our use of such information. We reserve the right to reject in whole or in part any industry input as a result of this RFI.
