Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center), intends to solicit and award a purchase order to FAAC Incorporated, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b) for support to move the Realtime Technologies (RTI) Driving Simulator from its existing location to the new location inside the Volpe Center's new building, in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW) below. Background In support of the Volpe Center's Driving Simulator projects sponsored by FRA , the Volpe Center is tasked to perform studies on the Realtime Technologies (RTI) Driving Simulator to examine several aspects of driving behavior. As part of these experiments Volpe will program and perform complex tests on the RTI Driving Simulator including a study related to self-driving vehicles and vehicle grade crossing warning devices. The Volpe Center acquired this RTI simulator in 2014 after a competitive procurement. This highly advanced and specialized hardware requires disassembly and reassembly in order for it to be moved from its existing location to the new building that Volpe will house. Objective In order to continue to perform driving vehicle tasks and vehicle grade crossing studies fully and without incurring costly delays to the project, a technical support contract (RTI Support Package) is required to move the RTI driving simulator from its existing location to its new location inside Volpe�s new building. Support is needed to disconnect/disassemble the RTI driving simulator in its current location and reconnect/reassemble the simulator in Volpe�s new facility. Tasks Task 1: �Technical Moving Support [Funded] (BASE) Period of Performance June 1, 2023, through September 30, 2023 The contractor shall provide in-person technical support in order to disconnect/disassemble the simulator from the existing building and reconnect/reassemble the simulator to its functional state within Volpe�s new facility.

Sub-tasks 2 and 3 shall occur prior to the move day; Volpe estimates they will take no more than 2 days total to complete.� Sub-tasks 4 and 5 shall occur following the move day; Volpe estimates they will take no more than two days total to complete.
