Full Description

The objective of this notice is to seek out small business contractors interested in providing the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) with technical assistance support services. FTA's Office of Planning and Environment (TPE) assesses New Starts projects to verify that requirements for eligibility for New Starts funding have been met. Reviews of past New Starts projects have documented that rider ship forecasts have frequently varied significantly from rider ship experienced after those projects have been opened for service. In addition, increasing numbers of project sponsors are seeking New Starts funding, yet cannot demonstrate that adequate information has been produced during alternative analysis. To support development of accurate information on New Starts projects seeking New Starts funding, the Office of Planning and Environment provides guidance, technical assistance and oversight of the planning and project development process. The results of this procurement will help ensure that alternatives analyses produce reliable information that can support the identification of projects that merit federal investment. FTA anticipates that the required services will focus on the following functional areas: 1 - Collection of data on transit rider ship patterns, 2 - Urban travel models, 3 - Forecasting for New Starts and Small Starts projects, and 4 - Refinement of methods for FTA oversight of New / Small Starts travel forecasts. All small business concerns that are able to provide the services describe above, are encouraged to forward their capability statement (not to exceed 5 pages) to the point of contact (POC) identified below. Capability statements are to be submitted electronically, no later than July 14, 2008 to the Primary Point of Contact (POC) below. All sources will be added to the solicitation mailing list and notified when the agency synopsizes the requirement in the Government Point of Entry (GPE). The GPE may be accessed via the Internet at http://www.fedbizopps.gov.
