- Description
- Federal Lands Highway Project Development and Design Manual and A/E Contracting Procedures Manual. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Federal Lands Highway (FLH) is making a comprehensive revision and electronic publication of its Project Development and Design Manual (PDDM). The PDDM provides technical and policy guidance for the interdisciplinary project development and design-related activities performed by the three field Divisions of the FLH and its consultants. The PDDM currently exists in MS Word format and on the web in Adobe PDF format at http://www.wfl.fha.dot.gov/design/manual/. FLH is also developing an electronic publication of its A/E Contract Procedures Manual. The manual will document the A/E procurement, administration and evaluation processes performed by the three field Divisions of the FLH. It will provide administrative, technical and policy guidance to contract mangers. The completed manual may range between 300 and 500 pages including narratives explaining duties/processes, sample forms, generic contracts, checklists, and example letters and memorandums. The Statement of Work (SOW) is to research, evaluate, implement, and document the best practices for publishing and maintaining the PDDM, and for publishing an A/E Manual, in electronic media format, including MS Word, Adobe PDF, and HTML web-based formats. Best practices for preparation of the manuals will be identified through research of available web-based highway design and technical manuals published by state departments of transportation and other state or federal agencies. The work includes technical editing of the existing PDDM to include dual units of measurement (SI units followed by US Customary units in parenthesis), updating the PDDM with incorporation of latest references to related documents and policies as identified by the FHWA, removal of designated content, and incorporation of new content as furnished by the FHWA. The work also includes combining government provided data into an A/E Manual that will benefit the contract manager, technical editing of the manual, updating the manual with incorporation of latest references to related documents and policies as identified by the FHWA, and incorporation of new content as furnished by the FHWA. The work includes modification of the existing Manual format to include best available web-based document management tools for user-friendly navigation and organization, such as hyperlink text for electronic references (both to external reference documents and internally within the manuals), highly functional search and help tools, printing tools, and other useful enhancements. The work includes documenting all formatting parameters that are used as an electronic style guide, and developing an operational manual for maintaining the document with future revisions using the established format. The work required for both the PDDM and A/E Contracting Manual will be awarded as one contract.
