Department of Transportation (DOT). NHTSA's mission is to prevent and reduce deaths, injuries, and economic losses resulting from automotive travel on our nation's roadways.

Specifically, banners with traffic safety messaging cover the following areas: Alcohol/Drugs, Seat Belts, Click It or Ticket, Distraction, Child Passenger Safety, Motorcycle Safety, Bicycle Safety, Pedestrian Safety, and Move Over.

This contract will contribute to an integral part of NHTSA’s mission to maintain visibility of traffic safety messaging to save lives and prevent injuries. The installation of these traffic safety messaging banners will reinforce their messages to DOT employees and other passersby.

C.2 OBJECTIVE

The objective of this contract is to provide monthly installation and removal of traffic safety messaging banners that will be placed on light poles surrounding the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) headquarters’ buildings, located at 1200 New Jersey Ave SE and on Tingey St. SE.

SECTION D - PACKAGING AND MARKING

Preservation, packaging, and packing 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).

Except as specifically exempted by the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), all deliverables under this Contract shall be sent in electronic format to the COR.

For those items that must be ready for printing, the following NHTSA guidelines shall be used:

D.1 TEXT

Text files shall be provided in a .DOC, DOCX, or .RTF file format via email, or flash drive using the fewest number of formatting tools as possible (i.e. avoid columns, multiple fonts, etc.). Keep it simple. Avoid using any design/layout elements. If the publication has charts and graphs, the Contractor shall insert the chart or graph (produced preferably in Microsoft Excel) at the appropriate locations in the publication.

D.2 CHARTS AND GRAPHS

Charts and graphs should be provided in 2 forms:

First, they should be inserted within the text as described above so that the Communication Services Division can see what type of chart of graph is desired (i.e. pie chart, bar chart, etc.)

Second, the Contractor should include the data files on a CD (preferable in Microsoft Excel) that were used to create the charts and graphs used in the publication.

D.3 ILLUSTRATIONS

Illustrations can take two forms:

Graphics – The Communication Services Division will develop any needed graphics in collaboration with the COR. The Contractor shall provide only the text files in Word to the COR. In the event that it is necessary for the Contractor to develop the graphics, only Government Printing Office (GPO)-approved software such as Adobe Illustrator shall be used.

b. Photographs – When photos are used in Agency publications, the Communication Services Division typically uses existing photos or photos purchased through various sources. In the event that a Contractor or other source will supply photos for use in a publication, the photos must be high resolution images preferably at 300 dpi (4” by 5” in size) or higher. They should be supplied on a CD (or submitted electronically) in either a tif (usually from a photo that was taken, developed, printed, and then scanned) or a jpg (usually taken using a digital camera and then downloaded onto a computer or disk) file. 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. In addition, please use caution when allowing Contractors to supply photos. Make sure that you know the Contractual arrangements they have made with the photographer and the subjects in the photo to ensure that NHTSA has unlimited rights to use the images in print on the web. You must obtain a written statement from your Contractor indicating that NHTSA has unlimited, unrestricted use of the photos.

D.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.

D.5 SECURITY AND PRIVACY PROTECTION

All deliverables and services rendered under this Contract/Task Order/Agreement must comply with Federal and DOT security and privacy protection policies and requirements.

DOT policies are available for viewing at:

a. Electronic payment requests. Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this clause, the contractor shall submit payment requests in electronic form. Purchases paid with a Governmentwide commercial purchase card are considered to be an electronic transaction for purposes of this rule, and therefore no additional electronic invoice submission is required.

b. The Department of Transportation utilizes the Delphi eInvoicing web-portal for processing invoices. For vendors submitting invoices, and certain grantees submitting payment requests, they will be required to submit invoices to Operating Agency (NHTSA) electronically via the Delphi eInvoicing web-portal which is accessed via https://einvoice.esc.gov, and is authenticated via www.login.gov. All persons accessing the Delphi eInvoicing web-portal will be required to have their own unique user Delphi eInvoicing ID and be credentialed through login.gov. See www.login.gov for instructions.

(1) Electronic authentication. See www.login.gov for instructions. Click on the following link for instructions on establishing a login.gov account:

https://login.gov/help/.

(2) To create a login.gov account, the user will need a valid email address and a working phone number. The user will create a password and then login.gov will reply with an email confirming the email address.

(3) Agency POC’s will be responsible for communicating with vendor POC’s to initiate the Delphi eInvoicing account creation process. Vendor POC’s who will require access to the eInvoicing web-portal for invoice submission and payment tracking purposes will be required to provide their full name, valid email address, and current phone number to the agency POC to initiate the Delphi eInvoicing web-portal account. Vendor users and the agency POC will be notified via e-mail when the account is created. The vendor user will be provided detailed instructions for logging into their Delphi eInvoicing account.

(4) Training on Delphi. To facilitate use of DELPHI, comprehensive user information is available at http://einvoice.esc.gov.

(5) Account Management. Vendors are responsible to contact the Delphi Help Desk when their firm’s points of contacts will no longer be submitting invoices, so they can be removed from the system. Instructions for contacting the Delphi Help Desk can be found at http://einvoice.esc.gov.

* NHTSA vendors will submit invoices to NHTSA electronically via the Delphi eInvoicing web-portal. To initiate this process, you are requested to provide NHTSA with the following information (company name, contract/task order number/purchase order [PO] number, and up to two Points of Contact [POC] full names and their email addresses) as shown on the table below.
