Bub, Contract Specialist Solicitation Number: 693JJ924R000026 I. BACKGROUND: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is charged with the responsibility of reducing the personal and property losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes. Many sources of information are needed to permit researchers to adequately measure the characteristics of the highway safety environment. NHTSA data are essential to reducing the human and economic cost of motor vehicle crashes. NHTSA’s various data systems are the only source of real-world crash data for conducting basic research, identifying problem areas, developing effective countermeasures, identifying program and rulemaking needs, developing and evaluating programs, rules, and standards, evaluating new technologies, and providing information to accurately assess and allocate grants for reducing crashes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has a need to resurface the asphalt test surface portion of the Traction Grading Test Track used to perform testing in accordance with the Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS) at the Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance’s (OVSC’s) San Angelo Test Facility (SATF) located on the grounds of Goodfellow Air Force Base (GAFB) in San Angelo, Texas (TX). The asphalt test surface was last resurfaced in September 2013. The test surface is used by OVSC to perform traction testing for enforcement of the UTQG consumer information program. The test surface is also used by outside entities to perform traction testing. Objective: The objective of this contract is to replace the asphalt UTQG traction test surface located at the SATF located on GAFB in San Angelo, TX with a durable surface that meets the tire test surfaces specified in 49 C.F.R. § 575.104. This may include, but is not limited to, identifying a suitable replacement asphalt mix with test strips, removing the existing surface, placing a new asphalt surface, and re-painting the required lines. General Requirements: The Contractor shall identify a suitable asphalt mix design through the placement and evaluation of a test strip, removing the existing test surface (if required), replacing the test surface, and ensuring smooth transitions to and from the test surface, to include painting of the completed test surface. The Contractor shall be familiar with work requirements for GAFB and certain requirements and approvals that must be met and/or obtained prior to the start of work by the contractor. Solicitation Information: The Government contemplates that a Cost Plus Fixed-Fee type Contract with a period of performance not to exceed twenty-four (24) months will be awarded from this solicitation.
