The CHSIM shall be a set of analytical tools to improve certain steps of the highway safety improvement programs pertaining to the allocation of resources to achieve the greatest effect in terms of accident frequency and severity reduction on existing highways. These steps include: 1) identifying _sites with promise_ (locations which hold promise for accident reduction), 2) diagnosing the safety problems at these locations, 3) selecting countermeasures aimed at reducing the frequency and severity of accidents based on the investigation conducted in step 2, and 4) economic appraisal and development of priorities to establish the measure of worth of undertaking remedial work at each site. The CHSIM shall be made available as a software product that can readily be used by state and local highway agencies. This solicitation, all related documents and amendments, if any, will only be released and available electronically through the Electronic Posting System (EPS) at http://www.eps.gov under the "EPS for Vendors" option followed by selection of the "DOT" Center. As such, no written, telephonic, facsimile or email requests for the solicitation package will be accepted. Interested parties can register at the aforementioned site to receive procurement announcements by email. Since this solicitation will only be available electronically, it is the responsibility of interested parties to monitor the EPS website for any solicitation amendments. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered by FHWA. Posted 04/24/00 (D-SN447878). (0115)
