- Description
- NA NAICS 54199. This is a presolicitation notice of intent to non-competitively negotiate with the Alaska Railroad Corporation. The United States Department of Transportation (DOT), Research and Special Projects Administration (RSPA), Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center), Cambridge, MA seeks contractor support to design, build, install and test a Dynamic Message Sign System (DMS) at a highway rail intersection. The DMS is part of an overall, larger test project relating to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Positive Train Control (PTC) capabilities. Government market research indicates that the Alaska Railroad Corporation (ARRC) is uniquely capable of meeting Government needs for the DMS. Specifically, ARRC is the only rail company currently reconfiguring several grade crossings to have PTC and ITS capabilities. Therefore, the Volpe Center contemplates negotiating with ARRC on a sole source basis. The statutory authority for this sole source procurement is 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. Sources deeming themselves capable of performing this project may respond to this notice. Such sources are requested to submit two (2) copies of a Statement of Capabilities in detail sufficient to allow the Government to ascertain the source?s capabilities. Statements of Capabilities must not include pricing information and must be limited to fifteen (15) single-sided, 8? inch by 11 inch pages. Statements of Capabilities must be received by the Government on or before July 16, 2003 to be considered. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. All responses to this Notice, including Statements of Capabilities, must be in writing. No verbal communications will be acknowledged or accepted. All responses must be sent to Anthony W. Pellegrino, Contract Specialist, United States Department of Transportation, Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, 55 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02142-1093.
