- Description
- This amendment is issued to provide all interested parties the following information: The revised anticipated release date of the RFP is on or about December 1, 2003. This requirement was originally advertised as a Small Business Set Aside but is now being modified to an ?Unrestricted Requirement? in order to promote full and open competition, which is in the ?Best Interest? of the government. This modification also provides additional information relative to the tasks involved and provides a revised expected release date for the solicitation. Any questions or concerns can be directed to Verna L. Velez, Contracting Officer at verna.velez@fmcsa.dot.gov or (202) 385-2305 Replace the current description to read as follows: The Federal Motor Carrier Administration (FMCSA) intends to award a competitively solicited contract on an unrestricted basis for the following support. The resultant contract type is expected to be a firm-fixed price contract. The proposed contract will include a base period from date of award through September 30, 2003 (including a Transition period not to exceed 90 days from the date of award). Four full one-year options following the initial base period will also be included. The purpose of this effort is to promote the public safety intents of the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 (CMVSA) and to implement the requirements of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA) to improve the administration of the Federal motor carrier safety program and reduce the number and severity of large truck involved crashes through effective commercial driver?s license testing, record keeping and sanctions. These purposes are to be accomplished by identifying vulnerabilities in the CDL program in regard to fraud and security and implementing and monitoring measures to correct these problems by making improvements to the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of CDL data transmission within States and between States; and by identifying and implementing measures to improve the effectiveness and security of the CDL program at the national and State levels. Accomplishing these purposes will also include working with countries with commercial driver?s licenses recognized by the U.S. as comparable to a U.S. CDL and thus valid in the U.S. by assisting development, operation and improvements of information systems in these countries; to promote interactive electronic interconnection between such foreign information systems and the U.S.; and to make this information available interactively to all authorized users for use in their ongoing operations to prevent issuance of a license to a disqualified driver, or more than one license to a driver, and to prevent unqualified and disqualified drivers and motor carriers from operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in the U.S. In accomplishing the objectives of the resultant contract, the successful offeror will: Operate FMCSA?s 52nd State application to associate US convictions of Mexican CMV operators to create a US driver history on each such driver, impose US federal disqualification action against Mexican drivers as required by the FMCSA. Develop and operate 53rd State application to associate US convictions of Canadian CMV operators to create a US driver history on each such driver, impose US federal disqualification action against Canadian drivers as required by the FMCSA. Provide other areas of specialized assistance relative to specific tasks as requested by FMCSA. The solicitation for this effort should be posted to FEDBIZOPS on or before December 01, 2003 with responses due by December 31, 2003.
