B -- APPLIED TECHNOLOGY PROJECT TO STUDY AIR TRANSPORTATION IN URBAN AREAS POC Thais D. Campbell, Contract Specialist, Eugene Johnson, Contracting Officer, (202)267-5149 FAX The FAA intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) to conduct an applied technology project to study enhancement of intermodal transportation systems in urban areas. The Atlanta Short Haul Transportation System (ASTS) project is planned to take place concurrent with the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta during the July and August 1996 timeframe. GTRI has designed the lightweight cargo container that will easily fit into proposed aircraft, which provide for rapid loading and unloading of cargo. Under the planned ASTS procurement, GTRI with the cooperation of commercial operator(s), will provide the necessary flight services, and equipment to perform the requirement of the ASTS project. GTRI will also provide engineering and technical services required to integrate the airborne technology with the data collection process, and will insure that selected operators receive the appropriate training in related technology and procedures unique to the ASTS project. GTRI will be issuing the solicitation for the equipment and services for this project. The point of contact for subcontracting opportunities is Mr. Chuck Stancil, who may be reached at (404)528-3224.
