D -- INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM (ITS) INTEGRATED SURV. & DATA MANAGEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE SOL DTOS59-99-R-00066 DUE 030199 POC David O'Connell, 202/366-6548 WEB: DOT TASC ITOP System, http://itop.dot.gov. E-MAIL: david.o'connell@tasc.dot.gov, david.o'connell@tasc.dot.gov. The Department of Transportation will be competing this effort among current Information Technology Omnibus Procurement (ITOP) prime contractors in the Information Systems Engineering functional area. ITOP is a Government Wide Agency Contract (GWAC) where the prime contractors have already been selected using a competitive procurement process. The names of these prime contractors and points of contact/telephone numbers are listed in the ITOP web page at http://itop.dot.gov. The purpose of this announcement is to announce potential subcontracting opportunities with the ITOP prime contractors in performing this effort. The Request for Proposal, Statement of Work and attachments are available in electronic format on the ITOP web page. Proposals will only be accepted from current ITOP prime contractors. The Federal Highway Administration is interested in partnering with the private sector and select State departments of transportation to develop and deploy the necessary infrastructure to enhance the quality, availability, and accessibility of ITS-generated data for transportation operations, planning, analysis, and maintenance purposes. The purpose is to develop and deploy the necessary infrastructure to enhance data available for transportation operations, planning, analysis, and maintenance purposes. Depending on existing conditions, this may require supplementing existing surveillance capabilities. The offeror is expected to assess local conditions and needs and propose a system that will satisfy both local needs as well as their own needs for commercialization purposes. The end product should be a system that is capable of collecting and distributing real time conditions data for operations purposes; and archiving this data to make available historical information for planning, analysis, and maintenance purposes. The intent is to spur the deployment of systems that will ultimately be self supporting through commercial initiatives. This effort will initially be performed in the Pittsburgh and Philadelphiametropolitan areas with potential options for two additional metropolitan areas to be identified at a later date.
