Piarc - CO-sponsorships

“Pursuant to 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) intends to solicit from a single source with the PIARC (Permanent International Association for Road Congresses aka World Association).  PIARC has consistently identified road safety as one of its strategic priorities.  Over the last few cycles, the Technical Committees and Task Forces have produced materials and documents that serve as reference for all transportation engineers concerned about road safety problems. Additional work is needed to ensure that the knowledge generated by PIARC’s Technical Committees and Task Forces is widely disseminated to inform road safety practitioners.  This work includes further update and dissemination of the Road Safety Manual (RSM) produced by PIARC with significant support of the Federal Highway Administration. 

The intent of this notice is not to request competitive proposals, and any information received from interested parties will only be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement should be conducted. However, interested parties may submit a description of their firm's capabilities for satisfying this requirement, which demonstrates they possess the ability to successfully perform this effort. All questions concerning this matter should be addressed directly to Vanessa L. Lechón, Contracting Officer at Vanessa.Lechon@dot.gov
