- REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment ? TPE16-30 Agency: The National Transit Institute Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey University Procurement & Contracting Administrative Services Bldg. III 3 Rutgers Plaza New Brunswick, N.J. 08901 ATTN: Cindy Johnson, Buyer Phone: (732) 932-4375, ext. 2309 Fax: (732) 932-4390 Email: cindyj@rci.rutgers.edu Date for receipt of proposals: Thursday, November 30, 2006 The National Transit Institute (NTI) is seeking proposals from qualified professionals to facilitate its existing Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment course. In addition, NTI may request proposers to edit/update the existing course materials. The goal of the course is to present the Federal Transit Administration?s procedures and methods for predicting and assessing noise and vibration impacts from proposed mass transit projects. The training modules in this three-day course closely follow the procedures contained in FTA?s recently updated guidance on the subject (Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment, May 2006). The course gives an overview of the environmental review process and how noise and vibration assessment fits into FTA?s planning and project development processes. Fundamentals of noise and vibration are discussed along with the specific metrics and impact criteria that are used in noise and vibration assessments. Different levels of analysis for noise and vibration are presented, along with considerations in choosing the appropriate level of analysis depending on the type of project and the stage of project development. The emphasis is on predicting impacts from operation of new transit systems; however, construction impacts are also covered. The course covers all the typical transit modes as well as multi-modal highway/transit projects. Various measures to mitigate excessive levels of transit noise and vibration are also discussed. A number of class exercises and case studies are brought in to reinforce the concepts, procedures, and practices introduced in the course. Ample time is allocated toward the end of the session to discuss attendees? questions and issues related to specific projects. To obtain a copy of the complete Request for Proposal, send a written request on organization letterhead to the University Procurement & Contracting address above. Fax or e-mail requests will be accepted; telephone requests are unacceptable. Requests will be honored if received by Tuesday, October 17, 2006. . Rutgers University is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to provide opportunities to small business, minority-owned businesses and/or female-owned businesses. These businesses are encouraged to submit proposals.
