E-MAIL: Erin Wofford, ewofford@fletc.treas.gov. This is a Modification to notice posted on 3/2/00. This is a Sources Sought Notice. Requirements for Simulator: Has motion in X and Y axis; provides force generation -- centrifugal force; allows a minimum of six persons at a time (six student stations); each station networked for emergency response and pursuit simulations; has 180 degree viewable screen in each station with rear view mirrors viewing capability; police vehicle dash board with instruments, steering wheel, rear view mirrors, gas and brake pedals, etc. in each station; police vehicle windshield a top dash board in each station; police vehicle driver's door appropriately mounted in each station; police vehicle operator's seat in each station; police style siren controls in each station; police style radio with controls and microphone in each station; computer generated images of FLETC's driving ranges (high fidelity and realism); computer generated imaged of urban and rural roadways with appropriate environments (high fidelity and realism); computer generated images of varying weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, etc.); allows for simulated windshield washing and wiping with appropriate responses for varying simulated weather conditions; allows for simulated headlights for dusk, dark and inclement weather simulations; computer generated images of vehicles and persons for urban and rural driving simulations (high fidelity and realism); allows interactive pursuit simulations between computer generated vehicle images and student drivers; computer generated emergency lights and sirens, computer generated interactive voice recognition radio traffic; ability to gather, record and translate driver performances to include negotiation of simulated geography; ability to gather, record and translate driver performances to include negotiation of simulated obstacles; ability to gather, record and translate driver performances to include application of emergency response driving techniques (vehicle dynamics); ability to gather, record and translate driverperformances to include application of pursuit driving techniques (vehicle dynamics and training objectives); and allow instructor intervention at any time during simulations (to alter simulation environment, conditions or to pause or stop simulation for instructional purposes). Requirements for Automated Driver Evaluation System: able to track vehicle's location on the overall driving range (track); able to determine vehicle's road position any where around the overall driving range (track), in relation to government identified items (OIO, OOI, III, OOO, MMM, OII, IOO, etc.) and correlated with the vehicle's location on the overall driving range (track); able to identify vehicle's dynamics in relation to government identified items ( jerky steering, braking while turning, locking brakes, late braking, bouncing brakes, early acceleration, late acceleration, etc.) correlated with the vehicle's location on the overall driving range and with the vehicle's road position; able to transmit the collected data for requirements 1-3 from the gathering instruments to a central computer for compiling the data for each vehicle separately; able to compile each vehicle's data for each lap made; able to translate data accumulated for each vehicle into government identified terms and provide a print out to screen automatically and to printer upon request; automatically saves data files to hard disk every minute and allows files to be manually saved to 3 12 inch floppy disk, zip disk and CD-RW; allow instructors to input driver names and associate those names with the vehicle each driver is operating; allow instructors to move driver names and data collected and compiled from one vehicle to another when a vehicle becomes disabled and must be substituted; allow instructors to add, change or remove identified items in requirements 2 and 3 based on changes to the curriculum and/or evaluation standards; computer with monitor for location in the control tower for receiving and displaying evaluation data; computer and monitor must be designed to withstand temperatures that regularly reach 200 degrees down to the low teens without having temperature related malfunctions with either the computer or monitor; and software that allows for the use of a standard printer such as: Hewlett Packard DeskJet series, Cannon Bubble Jet series, etc. There is no solicitation document; this advertisement is for potential sources only. Those responding should send information on products to the procurement technician with the following information: company name, street address (NO PO BOXES), phone number, fax number, and point of contact. All responses are due back to the PRO office no later than March 20, 2000. The Contracting Specialist for this project is Patricia Newman, (912) 267-3171. Posted 03/03/00 (D-SN430788). (0063)
