Request for Information (RFI) -- Information to Assist in the Establishment of the Transportation Operations Laboratory (TOL) and Identification of Potential Research Partners
Andy
This is a Request for Information (RFI). It is NOT a solicitation for proposals (RFP) or proposal abstracts.
The purpose of this request is to obtain information that can assist the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in the establishment of a Transportation Operations Laboratory (TOL) at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) that will enable FHWA to conduct research that, if implemented nationally, can lead to benefits in transportation safety, mobility and environment. A secondary purpose is to identify those laboratories and research centers which desire to be considered as potential partners in potential future endeavors. Note, however, that this RFI is for FHWA planning purposes only and shall not be construed as an RFP or as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI. Details of the Government’s research interests are described below.
Unless information submitted in response to this RFI is marked proprietary, it will be made publicly available so that useful research information is easily accessible and proactively shared among the public and private sectors and academic communities. Information that is appropriately marked proprietary, will be received and protected accordingly by the U.S. Government. All information obtained as a result of this RFI, whether proprietary or not may be used by the U.S. Government for program planning on a non-attribution basis.
Note again, however, that this RFI is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a RFP or as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI.
Responding to this RFI will neither increase nor decrease an information provider’s likelihood of being awarded any contract in the future by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) for the requisite services.
