- Description
- The Federal Highway Administration, Central Federal Lands Highway Division is proposing to purchase approximately 2500 units of a work zone intrusion alarm on a sole source basis from Paedia LLC, 327 Lake Street, San Francisco, CA. The intrusion alarm is the SonoBlaster II Work Zone Intrusion Alarm. This is a device designed to alert highway workers and errant motorists when a vehicle has entered a construction workspace. The devices will be used in demonstration activities by state highway agencies, federal agencies and local agencies with the purpose being to evaluate the safety operational characteristics of the devices and to educate highway workers of potential hazards. This device should be simple to use when attached to existing traffic control devices and has a high potential for saving lives of workers and errant motorists. The alarm device must provide an audible alarm to provide immediate feedback from the location of the impacted alarm to the workers on site. In addition, the immediate audible alarm should also alert the driver of the errant vehicle and allow them to take corrective action to avoid the workers by stopping or redirecting the vehicle. The intrusion alarm must be a stand-alone unit or in a series of units without electronic or physical connectivity. The alarm must be capable of operating without electronic remote activation or requiring physical connectivity. Approximately 2500 units will be required for distribution in 100 sets of 25 units to state DOTs and various other agencies (Federal & local) for field trial use in actual conditions on projects. The units will become the property of the recipients upon delivery for the demonstration. This is a sole source procurement under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The government believes only one responsible source can provide the service that will satisfy the agency requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested organizations may submit their products and qualifications specifically to meet the salient characteristics noted in this synopsis in writing to the point of contact not later than 3:00pm local time on September 4, 2006 Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. 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. Order DTFH68-06-P-00176 will be issued to Paedia, LLC. on or about September 8, 2006. The NAICS Code is 335999. Submittals should be sent to John Hunt, Federal Highway Administration, Central Federal Lands Highway Division, 12300 West Dakota Avenue, Lakewood, CO 80228. Questions concerning this matter shall be in writing and may be sent via fax to (720) 963-3360 or to john.hunt@fhwa.dot.gov
