SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

C.1 BACKGROUND

Alcohol-impaired driving fatalities1 in the past 10 years have declined by 23 percent from 13,472 in 2002 to 10,322 in 2012. However, alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities increased by 4.6 percent in 2012, compared to 9,865 in 2011, accounting for 31 percent of overall fatalities (NHTSA, 2013). The majority of those crashes involved drivers with a BAC of .15 or higher, nearly double the illegal limit. That works out to an average of one fatality every 51 minutes (NHTSA, 2013).

C.1.1 Law Enforcement Models

Law enforcement has actively pursued the application of performance models and systems to enhance their efforts and improve their influence on the behavior of the citizens they serve. Given the reduced budgets and expanding populations, municipalities are searching for ways to “do more with less” as they commit resources to the safety of their community and to reduce the incidence of crime in our society. There are any numbers of law enforcement models implemented to provide such a change. These models include but are not limited to;

• The Problem Oriented Policing (POP)2 model emphasizes the use of analysis and assessment to address crime and disorder problems. POP offers police a multifaceted approach to solving problems and preventing new ones from occurring. Using a problem identification model, the police develop informed responses that may reduce the number of incidents from occurring or the harm resulting from those incidents.

• The Community Oriented Policing (COP)3 model is a philosophy that combines traditional aspects of law enforcement with prevention measures, problem-solving, community engagement, and community partnerships. A mix of these models are often used in policing a community, based on the community’s crime trends and identified needs.

1 Alcohol-impaired fatalities are those where any driver had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 g/dL or higher.

C.1.2 Problem Identification Models

Law enforcement entities also use a number of problem identification models to gather the data for application with a selected law enforcement model. The problem identification models include, but are not limited to;

• The Data Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS)4 model which integrates location-based crime and traffic crash data to determine the most effective methods for deploying law enforcement and other resources. Drawing on the deterrent value of highly visible traffic enforcement and the knowledge that crimes often involve motor vehicles, the goal of DDACTS is to reduce crime, crashes, and traffic violations.

• The SARA5 model is the most familiar problem identification process utilized for applying the problem-oriented policing (POP) model. The acronym SARA stands for scanning, analysis, response, and assessment.

The four steps are straightforward. Scanning involves looking at data, talking to people, and observing the community in order to identify potential problems. Analysis involves studying potential problems to determine if they deserve concerted attention and, if so, trying to develop accurate descriptions and explanations of them. Response involves searching for a wide range of solutions and then choosing and implementing the ones with the most promise. Assessment involves collecting data after the response to determine if the problem has been eliminated or at least reduced. If success has not been achieved, then further analysis and a different set of responses may be needed.

The use of high visibility enforcement has been a key component to reducing impaired driving fatalities. For over a decade, NHTSA has promoted high visibility enforcement (HVE) activities in partnership with state and national organizations. Thousands of law enforcement agencies join in the national impaired driving crackdowns that occur twice each year, over the Labor Day and winter holidays. Law enforcement agencies increase their efforts to reduce impaired driving by; increasing enforcement, making enforcement highly visible, promoting the enforcement through local media, and advertising the efforts before and after the event. The media spots often emphasize the consequences of driving impaired. Agencies maximize enforcement success often through conducting sobriety checkpoints and focusing enforcement activities during high-risk, nighttime hours. However, it is likely many of those agencies have limited impaired driving enforcement activities outside of Crackdown periods. Thus, limiting the community’s perception of the size and seriousness of the impaired driving problem and leading some to believe the problem has been fixed or cannot be fixed.

Additional approaches are needed to encourage community support for enforcement while gaining law enforcement commitment to actively enforce impaired driving laws year round. The Contractor shall apply proven law enforcement models to enlist the local community in data sharing, problem identification and proposed enforcement actions, to increase community awareness, support and involvement. NHTSA envisions the efforts to enhance the relationship and communication with the community will bring the community in as a vital partner. This methodology will result in a long term commitment by law enforcement to the community, strengthening the enforcement of impaired driving laws.

Making impaired driving enforcement more palatable and more acceptable, even in a previously resistant community, will help persuade those who drive while impaired to curb their behavior; and should embolden law enforcement to more actively enforce impaired driving laws.

C.2 OBJECTIVES

This contract will support a demonstration program testing the applicability of proven law enforcement models to increase community support for law enforcement efforts in impaired driving enforcement. This program seeks to determine if proven, crime prevention models can be applied to enlist community engagement and gain community support for impaired driving enforcement. The Contractor shall use the DDACTS or SARA model for the problem identification phase of the project, before selecting the proven criminal justice model it deems appropriate to apply to the identified problem.

The increased public awareness and community involvement is expected to increase the enforcement of impaired driving by the Contractor and increase the community support for that enforcement. The program will be conducted in a State where impaired driving crashes, injuries and fatalities are higher than the national average and where there is limited community support for enforcement of impaired driving laws.

The demonstration program shall be based in a community with a population between 75,000 and 200,000 people and operational boundaries allowing for significant behavioral and operational influence by a primary local law enforcement agency.

The objectives of this project are:

• To apply proven law enforcement models to foster a community-wide collaboration of organizations active in public safety, public health, education and other key sectors to enhance local acceptance of enforcement of impaired driving laws.

• Modify community norms to reject impaired driving deaths as acceptable or inevitable and to support enforcement of impaired driving laws.

• Decrease the number of vehicle operators driving while impaired and increase acceptance of enforcement efforts.

• Work with an independent evaluation contractor6, who will assess the effectiveness of these strategies for potentially broader national applications.

6 NHTSA will contract with a research team in a separate agreement. The Contractor for this project must work

C.3 PURPOSE

This demonstration program is designed to assess the efficacy of efforts to increase community support, foster collective efficacy (social control), and spur increased demand and tolerance for impaired driving enforcement. The Contractor will use the Data Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS) or SARA (Scanning, Analysis, Response, and Assessment) model for the problem identification phase of this demonstration. After having identified the problem, the Contractor will apply a proven law enforcement model to address the identified problem. As discussed above, other law enforcement officials have utilized a number of specific program models in their efforts to serve their communities, including:

• The Problem Oriented Policing (POP) model which focuses on the identification and analysis of specific crime and disorder problems, in order to develop effective response strategies in conjunction with ongoing assessment.

• The Community Oriented Policing (COP) model which is a strategy of policing that focuses on police building ties and working closely with members of the communities they are responsible for policing.

This program will assess the effectiveness of law enforcement application of one or more of these criminal justice models in developing community support for enforcing impaired driving laws.

The project will focus on change in community perceptions and acceptance of impaired driving enforcement. Some outcomes related to the impact of the intervention on impaired driving enforcement activities will also be captured (e.g., increase in impaired driving arrests, decrease in impaired driving crashes injuries/fatalities).

• An independent evaluation contractor will be separately engaged by NHTSA, to measure public attitudes before and after the law enforcement intervention.

• This demonstration program will seek to alter public attitudes and beliefs about the importance of and need for consistent impaired driving enforcement in a community where impaired driving enforcement has limited community support and where alcohol-related injury and fatality rates are above the national average.

C.4 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

In this project, the Contractor shall utilize a singular or a combination of law enforcement models or systems to influence the community it serves to strengthen community identification of the problem of impaired driving and enhance local acceptance of enforcement of impaired driving laws. An additional objective is to modify community norms to reject alcohol involved traffic deaths and injuries as acceptable or inevitable and to support enforcement of impaired driving laws while increasing impaired driving arrests, reducing alcohol involved fatalities and increasing acceptance of enforcement efforts. This will be accomplished by the Contractor examining the existing enforcement collaboratively with that research team throughout this project.

and collision data, training its supervisors and line officers and working with community stakeholders.

At the end of the project, the Contractor shall submit a final report describing their project activities and accomplishments. A separate independent evaluation contract will be responsible for measuring changes in community attitudes toward impaired driving and enforcement of impaired driving laws. The Independent Evaluation Contractor will also analyzing data such as citations and arrests to assess the impact of the project on the community’s attitudes and acceptance of law enforcement efforts, as well as any changes in impaired driving related injuries and fatalities.

C.5 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

C.5.1 Kickoff Meeting

The objective of this task is for NHTSA and the Contractor to discuss the project’s objectives, the Contractor’s plan to accomplish each task, and any potential issues that could occur.

The Contractor shall work with the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) to prepare a kickoff briefing on the project for NHTSA personnel. The briefing shall cover the project’s objectives, overall project methodology, plan for accomplishing each task, and discussion of potential issues. The briefing will be approximately one hour, with the COR leading the discussion, regarding the objectives and overall strategy, and the Contractor providing information on specific approaches for accomplishing individual tasks.

The Contractor shall submit draft briefing materials, including a PowerPoint slide presentation, to the COR, forty-five (45) days after the award. The COR will provide comments on the materials within ten (10) days of receipt. The final kickoff briefing materials must be provided to the COR five (5) days before the kick-off meeting.

Within sixty-five (65) days of the award, representatives of the Contractor shall meet with the COR, NHTSA staff, representatives of the Independent Evaluation Contractor and other relevant parties at the Department of Transportation headquarters in Washington, DC to participate in the kick off meeting. As indicated above, the purpose of this meeting is to discuss the project’s objective, the Contractor’s plan to accomplish each task in the project, reporting and invoicing requirements, and any potential issues that are identified.

Immediately after the formal kickoff briefing, the Contractor shall meet with the COR, and other NHTSA staff with particular interest in the area, to discuss any unresolved issues. For planning purposes, the Contractor shall allow for a minimum of four hours of meeting time with NHTSA for this task. The result of this task will be a better understanding between NHTSA and the Contractor as to project strategies and goals, and how they will be accomplished.

Note: The Contractor must work closely with the Independent Evaluation Contractor throughout this project. Because an outcome of this project is a change in community attitudes about law enforcement, community attitudes will have to be measured prior to the implementation of any strategies. The Independent Evaluation Contractor needs to obtain approval in order to conduct any surveys from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which can take 9 to 12 months. Consequently, activities in this project may be put on hold until such approval is secured. Tasks C.5.2 through C.5.8 can be performed early in the project. Once these tasks are completed, the Contractor shall do no further work without approval of the COR.

C.5.2 Revise Work Plan

The objective of this task is for the Contractor to revise the work plan submitted in the contract proposal to incorporate any changes or strategies resulting from the kick-off meeting. The plan shall thoroughly discuss and detail the activities to be conducted to meet the project’s objectives. The work plan shall include a detailed description of how the Contractor plans to accomplish each of the tasks listed below, i.e., Tasks C.5.3 through C.5.20.

The Contractor shall revise the proposed work plan taking into account the information it provided in its proposal, contract negotiations with NHTSA, discussions from the kickoff meeting with NHTSA, and other information learned since the time of the proposal. This work plan shall include a description of all project tasks and how the Contractor will accomplish them and include a complete list of project milestones and deliverables.

The revised work plan shall be submitted to the COR within fifteen (15) business days of the kickoff meeting. The COR will review the revised work plan within fifteen (15) days of receipt and either accept the revised work plan or indicate that revisions are required. The Contractor shall not begin work on subsequent tasks until the revised work plan is approved by the COR.

C.5.3 Data Collection by Contractor

The objective of this task is to have the Contractor gather the information necessary to accomplish accurate problem identification. The Contractor shall complete this task within four (4) months of the kickoff meeting. The Contractor shall use the SARA or DDACTS model for problem identification. The Contractor, in consultation with NHTSA, shall provide training in the selected problem identification model if training in the use of the model is necessary.

C.5.4 Analyze Data

The objective of this task is for the Contractor to examine local, crash, arrest and other impaired driving related data to identify problem areas, times of day, etc.

For example, where do impaired driving crashes most frequently occur? Who is involved in such crashes? Does the Contractor or community have additional data related to impaired driving incidents or enforcement? The Contractor shall complete this task within five (5) months of contract award.

At a minimum, data shall include violator demographics, day of week, and time of arrest, and place-based context (i.e., identified intersections and roadway segments). The Contractor shall use its crash data to provide information on the location and time of day of the crash, the intoxication level of the driver and occupant demographics. The goal of this analysis is to sharpen the agency’s problem definition, guide the type and location of enforcement activities, and focus messaging activities.

C.5.5 Provide Data to Independent Evaluator

The objective of this task is to supply the Independent Evaluation Contractor with data and information needed for the evaluation of the effectiveness of this project.

The Contractor shall complete this task within six (6) months of the contract award.

The Contractor shall provide, at a minimum, the following types of data:

Impaired Driving Arrests Date Time Location Impaired Driving Collisions Date Time Location

Community Population and demographics

The above data shall be provided for three (3) years prior to the initiation of this project. The above data will constitute the baseline information for the project.

In addition, the Contractor will provide the Independent Evaluation Contractor with information about current impaired driving enforcement efforts and strategies (for example, how and how frequently is impaired driving enforcement undertaken) and discuss their beliefs about the community’s support of their programs and enforcement activities.

C.5.6 Conduct Planning Meeting

The objective of this task is to bring all parties together: NHTSA, the Contractor, and the Independent Evaluation Contractor, to ensure everyone understands their role. The Contractor shall specify to NHTSA the model they will be utilizing to address the problem(s) they have identified. The Contractor shall complete this task within nine (9) months of contract award.

NHTSA anticipates this meeting will occur at the selected project site. The Contractor shall be responsible for organizing the logistics of this meeting. For planning purposes, the Contractor shall assume that 3 people from NHTSA will attend, along with 3-4 staff from the Independent Evaluation Contractor. NHTSA anticipates this will be a 2-day meeting. Travel costs for NHTSA staff or the Independent Contractor’s staff will not be paid by the Contractor.

C.5.7 Conduct Training

The objective of this task is to provide specialized training, related to the law enforcement model selected by the Agency, to address the local impaired driving problem. The Contractor shall complete this task within nine (9) months of contract award. The training will be provided to all sworn personnel, at the level of supervisor and above. (Note: separate training classes will be provided to the sworn line officers, at appropriate intervals, later in the project, as noted below in Task C.5.13)

The Contractor shall hire speakers and/or instructors to conduct this training on-site. This training class shall be conducted in one day and will be 8 hours in length.

C.5.8 Identify Community Partners

The purpose of this project is to engage the community in support of traffic law enforcement, specifically impaired driving enforcement. Hence, the objective of this task is to identify key partners in the community who will be invited to play an active role in accomplishing the objectives of the project. The Contractor shall submit a description of each agency and community leader, to the COR, within ten (10) months of contract award. The COR will respond with comments and input within fifteen (15) days.

The Contractor shall explore a wide range of local entities (e.g. allied law enforcement agencies, state agencies, business, schools, public health, criminal justice professionals, advocacy groups, members of media and marketing firms, etc.), and identify key community partner organizations whose involvement in the initial organizing activities of the project shall be crucial to its success. These organizations shall have community influence, active memberships and outreach resources. The Contractor shall also identify any community leaders and opinion leaders that may be crucial to the success of the project. The Contractor shall actively solicit these groups’ sustained support, feedback and participation throughout the life of the project.

The Contractor shall not contact potential partners prior to NHTSA approval.

NOTE: If the initial community baseline survey, conducted by the Independent Evaluation Contractor, has not been conducted by this time, work on this project will be suspended until it is completed and the COR has given permission to proceed to task C.5.9.

C.5.9 Conduct Community Meetings and Develop Intervention Strategies

The objective of this task is to bring all the stakeholders together for strategy development. The Contractor shall complete this task within twelve (12) months of contract award or after the initial community baseline survey is conducted.

Following approval by the COR, the Contractor shall formally invite key local community partners (approved in Task C.5.8 above) and allied agencies to be part of the coalition being built for this project.

The Contractor shall hold a series of community meetings to engage pivotal local partners and community members during the project’s formative stages. During these meetings, the Contractor shall present the project’s key goals and objectives and present and discuss the data collected, to date. Together, the Contractor and the community partners/stakeholders shall develop project strategies; outline the roles and responsibilities of the various organizations involved; establish timetables; and initiate the creation of working groups in such key areas as enforcement, communications (including earned media) and education.

The Contractor shall ensure that community partners are actively and directly involved in developing and refining the intervention activities using the policing model or system identified by the Agency. To the extent possible, the Contractor shall integrate community partner recommendations and proposals into its strategies since the support and active participation of the community members is critical to the project’s effectiveness.

Within twenty (20) days following the meeting but no later than within twelve

(12) months of contract award, the Contractor shall provide a list of strategies and activities, supported by the community that will be undertaken to increase impaired driving enforcement and acceptance of impaired driving enforcement in the community.

C.5.10 Identify and Acquire Equipment

The objective of this task is to obtain any materials necessary for enforcement and community outreach to implement the Contractor’s proposed strategy. The Contractor shall complete this task within thirteen (13) months of the contract award.

While not all enforcement strategies may be specified until after the community meetings have occurred, there may be some initial equipment or material needs identified in the cost proposal, which will enhance the effectiveness of the project.

If such equipment needs are known, they should be specified and communicated to the COR. Equipment and resource needs might include:

Signage Safety equipment such as retro reflective vests

Breath testing devices Materials selected to increase program awareness and communicate program strategies(I.e. brochures, posters, press releases, or similar items)

The Contractor shall identify all equipment necessary for the performance of the project and submit the list to the COR for review. The COR will review the list of proposed list of strategies and equipment and will provide input to Contractor within ten (10) business days of receipt of the list. All purchases of equipment must be pre-approved by the COR. The Contractor shall acquire all necessary equipment within thirteen (13) months of award.

C.5.11 Develop Communications Plan

The Contractor and community partners shall develop a communication plan designed to increase community acceptance of impaired driving enforcement. It is anticipated the community members with media and marketing backgrounds will participate in and play a role in creating this plan. This task shall be completed within thirteen (13) months of the contract award. No funds for paid media will be provided as part of this project. The communications plan shall include the use of both traditional and innovative communications strategies, and utilize the localized data provided in Task C.5.9 above. The Contractor shall use these messages in a communication message, related to the enforcement program, for the targeted intervention community.

The Contractor shall submit the communications plan and all proposed materials and messages to the COR for review and comment within thirteen (13) months of contract award. The COR will review the plan and provide comments within fifteen (15) days of receipt.

C.5.12 Finalize Enforcement Partnership Initiative and Education Program

Within fourteen (14) months of contract award, the Contractor, NHTSA, evaluator, and community partners shall meet in the community to finalize the focused enforcement and community outreach initiative. At this meeting the enforcement strategies shall be discussed and finalized, as well as how the community partners’ support will be maintained over the course of the enforcement effort. As education and public outreach are critical for this program, the Contractor shall articulate how a focused education and public outreach effort will be maintained over the course of the fifteen (15) month enforcement and community outreach initiative. The focused education and outreach effort shall emphasize the dangers of impaired driving and the value of law enforcement’s efforts to ensure that motorists do not drive while impaired.

This meeting shall also specify a schedule for delivery of data to the Independent Evaluation Contractor. Data that shall be required by the Independent Evaluation Contractor will include, but not be limited to, the following:

• Numbers of officers engaged in impaired driving enforcement;

• Number of hours that officers are engaged in impaired driving enforcement;

• Arrests for impaired driving;

• Frequency of communications supporting the program;

• Reactions of community partners and members regarding the enforcement program;

• Crashes, injuries and fatalities (as appropriate); and

• Earned media (newspaper articles, television spots, radio airtime, etc.)

• Use and frequency of use of equipment acquired under this agreement.

Some of the above data elements may be required monthly (e.g., officers engaged in the operation; number of hours engaged in enforcement; arrests) by the evaluator, whereas others (e.g., crashes) may be required quarterly. However, the Independent Evaluation Contractor and the Contractor shall jointly decide on a data delivery schedule and finalize the schedule at this meeting.

The Contractor shall submit the draft enforcement initiative to the COR, within twenty (20) days after the meeting, for review and comments. The COR will review the plan and provide comments within ten (10) business days of receipt.

C.5.13 Provide Training to Sworn Line Officers

At key designated intervals during the project (i.e., 15 months, 19 months and 23 months after award), the Contractor shall arrange hands-on expert training in the relevant law enforcement model application and techniques related to impaired driving enforcement. This training shall be for the sworn line officers, to ensure full, continuous, and effective participation in the project.

NHTSA anticipates there will be a series of three (3) training classes. The training classes shall be at four (4) month intervals. There shall be an initial (8-hour) training class and two (4-hour each) training classes.

C.5.14 Implement Enforcement Initiative

Within fifteen (15) months of contract award, the Contractor shall implement a focused fifteen (15) month enforcement and community outreach initiative in the targeted community. The Contractor shall conduct a kickoff media event to launch this local enforcement initiative. As indicated above, community partners’ support shall be enlisted throughout this period to reinforce the value of the law enforcement efforts. As part of the enforcement initiative, the Contractor shall conduct a focused education and public outreach program using the messaging materials developed earlier (Task C.5.11) to support the enforcement effort.

Note: As a goal of this project is to determine whether program efforts can be sustained after completion of the project, funds from this contract may not be used for overtime enforcement. However, NHTSA will allow overtime funds for training related to this project.

Over the course of the fifteen (15) month implementation effort, the Contractor shall review and assess its overall enforcement efforts and redirect/recalibrate those efforts as necessary to achieve the objectives of this project. The Contractor shall submit any proposed revisions to the COR for approval and shall not initiate any changes/recalibrations without the approval of the COR. All changes/recalibrations shall be documented, as well as provided to the Independent Evaluation Contractor.

In addition, Contractor staff shall provide the Independent Evaluation Contractor with the data identified in Task C.5.12, continuously throughout the duration of the project and upon request of the COR or Independent Evaluation Contractor on a monthly basis, by the 20th day of the following month. The information shall be provided to the Independent Evaluation Contractor and the NHTSA COR.

C.5.15 Keep Community Partners Engaged in and Apprized on Progress

The Contractor shall provide information to its community partners on the activities conducted and lessons learned from the law enforcement and community outreach intervention. This shall occur at regular intervals, as proposed, from the beginning of the enforcement initiative. If the Independent Evaluation Contractor has data that are germane and appropriate for release, these shall be shared at the progress briefings.

C.5.16 Conduct Post-Intervention Assessment

In this task, the Contractor shall provide updated data (see Task C.5.5) to the Independent Evaluation Contractor, discuss any implementation and process challenges and how they were addressed and provide the Independent Evaluation Contractor access to law enforcement officers involved in the intervention. It is important for the Independent Evaluation Contractor to speak with law enforcement to assess how the enforcement strategies, selected law enforcement model and community outreach were conducted and implemented. This task shall be completed within thirty-one (31) months of the date of award.

C.5.17 Present at National Conferences

SECTION D - PACKAGING AND MARKING

D.1 PACKAGING AND MARKING

Preservation and packaging of all shipments or mailing of all work delivered under this contract shall be done in accordance with good commercial practices and to insure acceptance by common carrier (if applicable) and safe transportation at the most economical rate(s).

Any deliverables required by this contract shall be submitted to the applicable personnel identified in Section F of this contract. Due to security concerns, deliverables transmitted via regular U.S. Mail experience significant delay in reaching an intended destination and, as part of the screening process, may be damaged. For these reasons, the U.S. Mail should not be used to transmit deliverables. Rather, the Contractor is encouraged to use electronic mail to the maximum extent possible.

D.2 FORMATTING TEXT AND IMAGE DELIVERABLES

For those deliverables submitted electronically as text or image files, the following specifications apply.

D.2.1 TEXT

Text files shall be delivered in Microsoft WORD 2010 format. Font type of Times New Roman with a font size of 12 shall be used throughout the document. The Contractor shall minimize additional formatting as much as possible (e.g., avoid use of columns).

Avoid using any design/layout elements (however, see D.2.2, D.2.3, and D.2.4 below.)

D.2.2 CHARTS AND GRAPHS

The Contractor shall develop charts or graphs using Microsoft EXCEL 2010 or similar format and shall insert these in the appropriate places within the text document. The Contractor shall also provide the Microsoft EXCEL source file from which charts or graphs were developed.

D.2.3 ILLUSTRATIONS

NHTSA’s Office of Communication Services is responsible for developing or acquiring most illustrations found in NHTSA publications. These illustrations can take two forms:

a. Graphics – In the majority of cases, the Office of Communication Services will develop any needed graphics in collaboration with the COR. The Contractor shall provide text, graphs, and charts following the guidelines stipulated in D.2.1 and D.2.2 above. In some cases, the Contractor may be required to develop graphics. In these cases, the Contractor shall use only software approved by the U.S. Government Printing Office (e.g. Adobe Illustrator.)

b. Photographs – When photos are used in Agency publications, the Office of Communication Services typically uses existing photos or photos purchased through royalty-free sources. In the event the Contractor must supply photos for use in a publication, the photos must be high resolution images at least 300 dpi at the size used in the publication. Photos shall be supplied on a CD or DVD in either .tif format (for scanned images) or .jpg (for images downloaded to the CD or DVD directly from the digital camera.).

NOTE: If a photograph is supplied by an outside source (Contractor, grantee, national organization, etc.), a release form must accompany the photo indicating that the human subjects in the photo authorize NHTSA to use the photo in its publications and on its internet site. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that the necessary arrangements have been made with the photographer and the subjects in the photo to ensure that NHTSA has unlimited rights to use the images in print and on the web. The Contractor shall obtain, and provide to NHTSA, a written statement indicating that NHTSA has unlimited, unrestricted rights to the use of the photos.

D.2.4 WEB-BASED IMAGES

Occasionally, web-based images may be used in NHTSA publications. The Contractor is cautioned that copyright laws restrict use of many of these images even if this is not expressly indicated at the website. Additionally, the resolution of most web-based images is not high enough to provide a clear image when published. For these reasons, web-based images should not be used.
