About this opportunity
The South Dakota Department of Public Safety, specifically the Office of Highway Safety (OHS), is seeking proposals to conduct an observational survey of seat belt use across the state, with a focus on complying with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Uniform Criteria for State Observational Surveys of Seat Belt Use. The procurement targets a comprehensive survey to be conducted during the summers of 2023, 2024, and 2025, with specific requirements for survey design, site selection, observation procedures, quality control, and data analysis. Proposals are due by March 29, 2023, at 5:00 pm CDT, with an anticipated contract term from May 1, 2023, to September 30, 2025. Offerors must demonstrate specialized expertise, past performance, and the ability to meet project requirements within the specified timeframe. Inquiries about the Request for Proposal (RFP #23RFP8382) must be emailed to Amanda Kurth at Amanda.Kurth@state.sd.us, with responses to be posted on the state's e-procurement system.
The RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations. The cost proposal must include all associated costs, with indirect costs only allowable if the entity has a negotiated indirect cost rate agreement or cost allocation plan. While no specific budget range is provided in the available documentation, the State reserves the right to negotiate the final scope and contract terms with the highest-ranked offeror. The survey will cover seat belt usage across South Dakota, with a specific mention of Harding County (FIPS Code 46063) as part of the jurisdictional scope. Potential vendors should be prepared to provide a comprehensive approach to data collection, analysis, and reporting that meets the stringent NHTSA uniform criteria. The procurement appears to be open to qualified research organizations, consulting firms, or entities with expertise in transportation safety studies and observational research methodologies.
