The Federal Highway Administration intends to issue a purchase order to TDC Partners for development of a long-range Performance Related Specifications (PRS) Implementation Plan including both internal and external activities. This will include, but is not limited to, services such as a 5-year outline of strategies and activities necessary to implement the PRS as well as further development of necessary research, a comprehensive approach to field trials along with data gathering and analysis, marketing strategies for promotion of PRS technologies, and educational strategies for top and middle management. These tasks are a follow-up to past and ongoing research and development activities and recommendations developed during a workshop sponsored by a recent workshop. TDC Partners has an extensive background of not only the workshop but the PRS activities and has been a key player in the research work over the last 10 years. Because of this extensive knowledge and background, TDC Partners is considered the only known source who can provide this service at this time. This is a Simplified Acquisition and the anticipated award date is September 11, 2000. Posted 08/23/00 (D-SN489122). (0236)
