Nanartowicz, HCP30-B, (202) 366-4247 The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) intends to issue on or about May 26, 1995 a request for technical proposal in accordance with the Two-Step Sealed Bidding procedures as described in FAR 14.5. FHWA is seeking qualified offerors that can demonstrate conformance with the Government specifications for the manufacture of a 102 inch by 49 foot tandem axle, dual rear wheel, drop frame expandable van trailer. The trailer will be pulled by a tandem axle diesel truck-tractor that will be supplied separately by FHWA. The trailer will be customized to facilitate classroom lectures and hands-on interactive demonstration training. The trailer will consist of a classroom for conducting the lectures with seating capacity for up to 30 people, and will be equipped with an instructional work-station and large display screens. In addition, the trailer will house a traffic control simulator with computer work stations for hands-on demonstration. FHWA will evaluate the Step-One technical proposals in order to determine the offeror's ability to conform with Goverment specifications, and to determine whether the offeror is qualified to perform the work. The request for technical proposal will require that each offeror supply specific information addressing qualification of capabilities. An invitation for bid (IFB) will be subsequently issued to only those sources who have submitted acceptable technical proposals under Step-One. All responsible sources may submit a technical proposal which shall be considered by FHWA. Full and Open Competitive procedures are in effect for this IFB. To expedite the request, furnish two self-addressed gummed labels for each solicitation requested. The solicitation number should appear on the bottom edge of the labels. (0101)
