Such service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government as defined in this Statement of Work (SOW). The Contractor shall perform to the standards herein.

1.1 Background

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The FHWA is charged with the broad responsibility for ensuring that America's roads and highways continue to be the safest and most technologically up-to-date.

The Office of the Chief Counsel provides legal advice and services and represents all aspects of FHWA's programs.

The Office of Policy and Governmental Affairs undertakes transportation policy analysis and offers guidance to FHWA leadership on the policy implications and broader context of Agency activities.

Within the Office of the Chief Counsel, the Legislation, Regulations, and General Law Division performs all legal services and coordinates all legal activities in connection with the FHWA's legislative program, including the drafting of legislation and the preparation of comments on pending bills. The Division drafts legislative proposals, prepares reports on legislation, prepares testimony and Congressional hearing briefing materials, responds to Congressional inquiries involving legislative matters, attends Congressional hearings and other Congressional staff meetings to assist committees and DOT witnesses, and provides technical assistance to Congress. The Office of the Chief Counsel also provides legal services about the development and coordination of all FHWA regulations and reviews directives and rulemaking actions for legal sufficiency and compliance with applicable Federal laws, Executive Orders, and regulations. The Office of the Chief Counsel processes material prepared for publication in the Federal Register and coordinates the rulemaking process with the Office of the General Counsel, Office of Management and Budget, and Office of the Federal Register.

The Office of Policy and Governmental Affairs, the Legislative Affairs and Policy Communications office, supports FHWA, DOT, and the U.S. Congress on legislative and policy development. Policy expertise is used in activities such as providing technical assistance on surface transportation reauthorization legislation, conducting analyses in support of the Federal- Aid Highway Program budget, and developing briefings for high-ranking agency and department officials. The office also acts as the central point of contact between FHWA and Congress.
