Synopsis for Solicitation No. DTFH6117R000051

Title: “Pavement Maintenance Techniques: Best Practices”

SYNOPSIS INFORMATION

This synopsis is issued in accordance with FAR Part 5.203 in response to the mandatory requirement for a pre-solicitation notification. The purpose of this synopsis is to announce the

Federal Highway Administration’s intent to issue a solicitation for a Full and Open Competition to procure services for the Pavement Maintenance Techniques: Best Practices.

As a result of this solicitation, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) intends to award a

Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract. The anticipated period of performance shall not exceed 20 months. The solicitation will be issued on or before July 30, 2017.

BACKGROUND

In addition to pavement preservation, rehabilitation, and reconstruction actions, highway agencies are tasked with maintaining roadways to an acceptable level of performance using maintenance techniques to respond to “everyday” needs. From filling potholes and cracks to refreshing painted striping and cleaning culverts, these maintenance actions are typically performed by the local Department of Transportation (DOT), or contracted forces working for the DOT. Although the intended outcomes are the same, the methods and materials used in these actions vary considerably from agency to agency. It would be useful to have a compendium of basic maintenance techniques that would be readily available to the practitioner as a reference for field deployment.

The FHWA has some existing guidance for highway maintenance, including the repair of potholes in asphalt surfaced pavements, sealing and filling cracks in asphalt surfaces pavements, rapid repair of partial depth spalls in concrete pavements, and repair of joint seals in Portland

Cement Concrete (PCC) pavements. These, however, are older, unconsolidated publications and in need of updating. The outcome of this project will contribute towards the goal of updating these documents and bring FHWA guidance up to current state of the practice.

OBJECTIVE

The primary objective of this project will be development of a comprehensive best practices guide and an accompanying set of tech briefs that will provide guidance for the specified maintenance activities, techniques, and materials. The target audience for this effort is state and local highway maintenance managers and field crew leaders.

NOTE: The solicitation will be released electronically via this Government Point of Entry (GPE) otherwise known as Federal Business Opportunities or www.fbo.gov . As such, no written, telephonic or other type of request for an advance copy of the solicitation will be entertained at this time. Potential offerors/vendors are encouraged to register on www.fbo.gov to receive any http://www.fbo.gov/ http://www.fbo.gov/ further information in reference to the subject action inclusive of any announcements, and/or amendments to the solicitation after its release. NO OTHER PROCUREMENT

INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.
