Improving the Quality of Pavement Profiler Measurement

The Federal Highway Administration plans to negotiate a sole source continuation of Contract No. DTFH61-07-C-00024 with The University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. This continuation aims to retest and evaluate potential pavement reference profilers through coordinated benchmark measurements and testing. The contractor will provide comprehensive evaluation and documentation for up to four pavement profiler reference devices. This additional work arose due to a government error that invalidated the initial testing under the contract. The contract, titled "Improving the Quality of Pavement Profiler Measurement," supports the agency's objective to enhance pavement profiling accuracy. The action is being pursued under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 without a competitive solicitation. The relevant NAICS code is 541330, and the Department of Transportation’s Acquisition and Grants Management office in Washington, D.C. manages the contract. The point of contact for this procurement is Samantha A. Reizes.
