- Description
- The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) plans to award a sole source purchase order to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) to develop model oversized/overweight vehicle movement guidelines. State Enforcement Agencies, Commercial Motor Vehicle Carriers, and Pilot Car Companies will use these guidelines. The guidelines will address at a minimum, issues such as, (1) when pilot cars and police escorts are required; (2) the training, testing, and certification of pilot car operators, police offices, and truck driver in the movement of oversize/overweight loads; (3) the use of height poles and traffic controls; (4) how to conduct route surveys; (5) maneuvering limitations of heavy-haul vehicles; (6) effects of fatigue on performance (7) the need to assess the dangers at railroad crossings, and (8) the need and requirements to notify the railroad before an oversize/overweight vehicle is escorted across a highway/rail grade crossing. CVSA has an established working relationship and under the operation of each of the involved entities. They have first hand knowledge of the motor carrier and state enforcement culture and its impact on the development of operational policies. Because of their experience and knowledge of the movement and enforcement oversize/overweight vehicles, they are the only known source that can provide these services for the FHWA. This is a Simplified Acquisition and the anticipated award date is on or before May 16, 2003.
