E-MAIL: Stephanie Parker, stephanie.parker@fhwa.dot.gov. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) plans to award a Purchase Order to Hiemstra International to design, facilitate and conduct a series of Future Search Symposiums to achieve the FHWA Strategic Goal. The Futures Search Symposiums will expand on the Office of Motor Carrier and Highway Safety (OMCHS) forecast that was developed at the initial Futures Search Forum. These symposiums will explore future trends, identify viable scenarios, and determine a preferred future and key strategic issues which will be used to develop long range plans for OMCHS. Because Hiemstra International not only has expertise in futuristic scenario and process planning combined with specific knowledge in global issues, economic trends, demography, technology, and government they held the original forum as well as developed the original forecast; therefore, no other known source can effectively conduct these symposiums. This is a Simplified Acquisition and the anticipated award date is December 30, 1998. Posted 12/15/98 (D-SN280639). (0349)
