The objectives of the proposed contract are to identify current state and provincial requirements and practices concerning reporting high risk older drivers; determine the feasibility of involving families and friends in idenifying older drivers who may be unsafe to drive; and develop guidelines and program materials to facilitate families regulating the driving of family members who either cannot or should no longer drive or who should be restricted as to when they drive. The period of performance will be fifteen months. Requests for the solicitiation must be in writing. No telephone requests. The solicitation issue date will be on or about June 21, 1995. (0151)
