- Description
- The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), on behalf of The National Highway Institute, intends to award multiple, 5-year term, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contracts under which fixed price Task Orders will be issued. The Task Orders may require the development, revision, updating, and/or presentation nationwide of training courses in the broad areas of Structures, Hydraulics and Geotechnical technologies. The National Highway Institute (NHI) is the technical training arm of the Federal Highway Administration, and as such plays a vital role in the FHWA=s overall effort to provide training in new and evolving highway related technologies. The target audience is very broad, and includes Federal, state and local highway and transportation agencies located within the United States, the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Centers, associations, consulting firms, private industry, universities and other national and international entities engaged in highway work of interest to the United States. In order for NHI to best accomplish its training mission it is necessary to accurately determine the needs of the target audience, and then develop and deliver a variety of training packages that will most effectively and efficiently present the intended message. Annual issues of the NHI Course Catalog and the NHI web site (http://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov) contain a list of current course offerings. The NHI has been performing this role primarily by delivering traditional, instructor-lead, classroom training on a broad range of topic areas since it was established by congress in 1970. However, the electronic era is rapidly opening new avenues for cost savings, complying with divergent schedules, and training larger audiences in shorter periods of time. These avenues need to be explored, and enhancements to the current approaches implemented. In addition to a thorough knowledge of instructional systems design (ISD) and adult learning principals, subject matter expertise will be required in a variety of areas including, but not limited to: Design, construction, inspection, coatings and security of highway structures including bridges, culverts, tunnels and ancillary structures; all aspects of hydrologic and hydraulic engineering; and all aspects of geotechnical engineering related to highway structures. Training delivery methods may include traditional classroom, distance learning, web-based and/or computer-based self-teaching. Task Orders may also include other functions relating to training delivery such as needs assessment, marketing, or electronic formatting for Section 508 compliance. It may also include the conduct of any research required for the development of a specific course, and other support services that may be required for the promotion of the training program. All qualified, responsible sources are encouraged to submit an offer. The Government intends to award these contracts on the basis of best value after Full and Open Competition. The solicitation and all related documents and amendments, if any, will only be released and available electronically through Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) web site which will list all the FHWA business opportunities sorted by posted date.
