The SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA RAPID TRANSIT DISTRICT, 300 Lakeside
Drive, Oakland, California, is advertising for proposals for Construction
Management Services for the Earthquake Safety Program Aerial Structures, RFP
No. 6M8013, with proposals due by 2:00 PM local time, February 27, 2007. The
selected CONSULTANT shall assist and advise the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid
Transit District in the construction management activities and related issues
associated with BART''s Earthquake Safety Pro-gram ("ESP"). The construction
work to be managed consists of the retrofit of some of BART''s aerial and
bridge structures. Within the proposed project area, the most common aerial
structure in the BART system consists of a single-column reinforced concrete
pier on either pile-supported or spread concrete footings. On top of the column
are pier caps and shear keys, which support the pre-cast concrete girders.
Retrofits may consist of, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
Cast in Drilled Hole (CIDH) piles or other piles installed in the areas around
the perimeter of the existing foundations; Enlarging or thickening of the
existing foundation by adding a concrete topping including placement of a top
mat of rebar and new vertical and horizontal dowels into the existing
foundation; Jacketing (encasing) of the concrete columns with Fiberwrap, steel
casings or collars; Placement of additional shear keys at the pier caps; and
Addition of concrete seat extenders at some abutment or pier cap locations. It
is anticipated that all four lines will be under construction concurrently.
Working hours during construction are generally estimated to be single shift at
multiple locations. A pre-proposal meeting will be held on Wednesday, January
31, 2007. The pre-proposal meeting will convene at 2:00 p.m. at the BART Board
Room, located in the

ELSG/PK, 11 Barksdale St. Bldg. 1614, Hanscom AFB, MA Description 01731 This announcement
constitutes a Request for Information (RFI) for the purpose of obtaining
information for the reception, ordering, acquiring and processing one-meter
panchromatic and multispectral imagery. Eagle Vision is the DoD's only
deployable commercial ground station to directly receive and process imagery
data from commercial, remote-sensing satellites and has a need for 1-meter
panchromatic and multispectral imagery for use in the combat commander's
mission planning/rehearsal and intelligence gathering systems. Eagle Vision
provides imagery products for military operations, disaster relief and homeland
defense. This RFI seeks information on capability to add a high-resolution
optical remote sensing satellite to the Eagle Vision stations. The satellite must
be commercially available, unclassified, and available for direct downlink
anywhere an Eagle Vision might be deployed world-wide. The satellite data must
provide one-meter or better Ground Sample Distance (GSD) panchromatic imagery
with swath width of at least 8 kilometers, and the original image without
ground control must exhibit geo-location accuracy of 30 meters (Circular Error
90%) or better. The satellite data must provide at least three-band
multispectral imagery with ground sample distance of four meters or better, and
geo-location accuracy of at least 40 meters (Circular Error 90%). The interface
to the satellite must be compatible with the Eagle Vision hardware and software
architecture, with minimum changes to the existing fielded systems. The satellite
mission data reception, bit synchronization, and demodulation must be
compatible with the fielded Eagle Vision communications subsystem. The
interface to the satellite must be an existing commercially available product,
fielded in other active ground stations, and proven compatible with the
high-resolution satellite. Interested parties should submit a concept paper, up
to 10 pages in length, describing the satellite, interface, operational
capability, concept of integration, benefits, risks and limitations, and
budgetary cost projection. Existing fielded implementations must be referenced.
Product brochures and vendor marketing material may be submitted in addition to
the concept paper. Responses are due no later than 13 February 2007, 2:00 PM EST.

ACRP 04-04 [RFP] Exercising Command-Level Decision Making for
Critical Incidents at Airports Project Data Funds: $400,000 Contract Time: 27
months (includes 1 month for ACRP review and approval of each interim report
and 3 months for ACRP review and for contractor revision of the final
deliverables) Authorization to Begin Work: 6/1/2007 -- estimated Staff
Responsibility: S. A. Parker Phone: 202-334-2554 Email: saparker@nas.edu RFP
Close Date: 3/14/2007 Fiscal Year: 2007 BACKGROUND Incident training (required
by 14 CFR Part 139.325, Airport Emergency Plan) for civil aviation emergency
response personnel is currently conducted manually. A significant number of
individuals (including command-level senior staff) and commitment of time are
needed to exercise and train for specific scenarios. As a result, emergency
response and recovery training is generally conducted one time each year, with
varying quality, thereby limiting the opportunities that command-level senior
staff have to improve their incident management skills. Command-level decision
making is a critical factor in successfully managing and mitigating critical
incidents. Simulation provides a safe and realistic environment in which
responders can hone their decision-making skills. Research has shown that
responders (including command-level staff) who have more experience with
critical incidents are more likely to make more workable, timely, and
cost-effective decisions. By increasing the effectiveness of training, airports
will be better prepared to manage critical incidents and meet the requirements
of 14 CFR Part 139.325, Airport Emergency Plan. Research is needed to develop
an interactive tool for training and exercising command-level decision making
within the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and in conformance with
the requirements of 14 CFR Part 139.325, Airport Emergency Plan. Such a tool
would supplement physical full-scale exercises as a means to exercise (and
thereby improve) critical incident decision making. To do so, this tool must be
affordable, cost-effective, easy to setup and use, have readily available
support, provide a measured assessment, and allow participants from 14 CFR Part
139 airports to exercise the resources and policies they use in everyday life.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this research is to create a tool for exercising
command-level decision making for critical incidents at 14 CFR Part 139
airports. The tool will include methods to measure and evaluate actions and
outcomes including compliance with nationally recognized standards and Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
requirements. The tool will be used to meet the training and exercise
requirements of 14 CFR Part 139.325, Airport Emergency Plan, and will cover
civil-aviation-specific scenarios for the nine hazard-specific sections
identified in FAA Advisory Circular 150-5200/31 A, Airport Emergency Plan
(September 30, 1999). The 10 functional sections, identified in AC150-5200/31
A, provide a good starting point for development of the tool; to reflect
airport needs, however, the tool will allow an airport to readily customize
training and exercises for their staffing and geographic areas. Finally, the
tool will present training and exercise options and will track the progress of
individual employees and teams in meeting training requirements. The tool must
also be configured to protect airport information that is too sensitive to be
publicly released. Accomplishment of the project objective will require at
least the following tasks. TASKS Task descriptions are intended to provide a
framework for conducting the research. The ACRP is seeking the insights of
proposers on how best to achieve the research objective. Proposers are expected
to describe research plans that can realistically be accomplished within the
constraints of available funds and contract time. Proposals must present the
proposers' current thinking in sufficient detail to demonstrate their
understanding of the issues and the soundness of their approach to meeting the
research objective. Phase I Task 1. Analyze and describe emergency response
training needs for airport owner/operator management and supervisory level
staff at 14 CFR Part 139 airports, including training needs for NIMS
compliance. Note: For purposes of this project, staff includes command and
general staff positions under the Incident Command Systemin effect, this means
8 positions. Task 2. For airport staff positions (command and general staff
under the Incident Command System) identified in Task 1, identify prerequisites
(e.g., prior training and familiarity with specific documents and definitions)
for using the tool that will be developed in Phases II and III. See Special
Note E. Task 3. Based on Tasks 1 and 2, identify appropriate learning objectives
to be addressed through the tool. For the identified learning objectives,
describe how the tool will provide monitoring, evaluation, and feedback to
users and training administrators. Note: Task 3 is intended to define learning
objectives and the mechanisms for assessing whether and how well those
objectives are met. Details in the proposal will need to be enhanced in Task 3
prior to being programmed in Phases II and III. Assessments should (a) measure
actions to gauge individual and team comprehension and effectiveness and (b)
provide a mechanism to evaluate performance over time for functional areas and
incidents (particularly those contained in FAA advisory circulars). The
monitoring and evaluation system should give airports a clear mechanism to
assess their progress in meeting specific compliance activities defined by the
DHS/FEMA NIMS Integration Center in accordance with Homeland Security
Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD-5) and FAA advisory circulars. Task 4. Develop
an outline for the tool for use in simulations ranging from several hours to
several days, with opportunities for all player roles (potentially 100+ roles).
The tool will provide civil aviation-specific scenarios for the nine
hazard-specific sections in 14 CFR Part 139.325, Airport Emergency Plan,
paragraphs a-f. The outline should cover the potential events and
message-injects from the onset of emergency through recovery, and shall include
all disciplines. The resulting tool should provide an immersive environment for
exercising emergency response decision making by command and general staff at
14 CFR Part 139 airports. Note: At a minimum, the tool should provide player
positions for command and general staff and should be able to simulate inputs
and interactions below command and general staff. Include realistic inputs from
previous incidents reported in the Lessons Learned Information System
(LLIS.gov), the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), and other
appropriate sources. Task 5. Submit an interim report on the information developed
in Tasks 1 through 4. The interim report shall also contain a detailed, updated
Phase II work plan. Meet (approximately 1 month later) with the ACRP panel to
review the interim report. Note: A PowerPoint presentation provided at the
interim meeting shall be suitable, after revision, for use by panel members and
others in describing the research and for posting on the ACRP project website.
Task 6. Submit a revised Phase II work plan based on panel decisions at the
Task 5 interim meeting. Note: Tasks 1 through 6 shall be completed within 6
months of notice to proceed and shall be limited to no more than $80,000 of the
available funds. The research agency shall not begin work on the remaining
tasks without ACRP approval. Phase II Task 7. Develop story boards for the tool
and a detailed outline for a facilitator’s guide and a user’s guide. Task 8.
Develop a prototype module of the tool that implements one of the
hazard-specific sections. The prototype should be suitable for field testing at
a small-sized, medium-sized, and large-sized airport. See Special Note F. Note:
Proposals should provide proposer’s current thinking on a prototype module for
an aircraft accident at a medium-sized airport. Task 9. Field test the Task 8
generic module with at least 3 representative airports. Report on the user
experience in a technical memorandum. Note: Proposals should provide proposer’s
current thinking on evaluation criteria for the Task 9 field tests. Task 10.
Submit interim report #2 providing the results of Tasks 7 through 9. The
interim report should also include a test plan for the tool. Meet with the
panel to review the interim report and prioritize additional tasks and modules
for development in Phase III. See Special Note G. Note: The research plan shall
provide a 1-month period for review and approval of the interim report. A
PowerPoint presentation provided at the interim meeting shall be suitable,
after revision, for use by panel members and others in describing the research
and for posting on the ACRP project website. Task 11. Submit the revised Phase
III work plan based on decisions at the panel meeting. Note: Tasks 1 through 11
shall be completed within 15 months of notice to proceed and shall be limited
to no more than $240,000 of the available funds. The research agency shall not
begin work on the remaining tasks without ACRP approval. Phase III Task 12.
Develop the tool in accordance with the approved Phase III work plan. At a
minimum, the tool should (a) include an electronic incident command board
function; (b) simulate use of phones, faxes, and radio systems; (c) adequately
display the airport layout, the incident, vehicles, equipment, and personnel
(including avatars for personnel); (d) display the environment with sufficient
detail for players to understand their position and orientation in the
environment; and (e) allow players to control their avatars and to manipulate
their environment as necessary to demonstrate response actions (including
record keeping for the Public Information Officer and finance positions). The
tool must be supportable by independent, third-party controller/evaluator
positions (i.e., the vendor or the vendor’s representative should not be the
controller/evaluator). The tool should have manual authoring capability for
development of environments and hazards (e.g., any airport should be able to
customize the tool to reflect its layout). Note: To the extent feasible, the
following questions about the tool platform must be addressed in the proposal:
(1) Will commercial off-the-shelf software be needed? (2) If yes, will licenses
be required? (3) If yes, at what cost? (4) What operating environment will the
tool use (e.g., Windows XP)? Task 13. Execute the test plan as described in the
approved Phase III work plan. Prepare a technical memorandum on the test
results, documenting issues and how they will be resolved in Task 14. Task 14.
Revise the tool to resolve issues identified through tests. Task 15. Submit a
final report that documents the entire research effort. Include, as separate
deliverables, the software, the facilitator’s guide, and the user’s guide. In
addition, provide a stand-alone Executive Summary; an updated implementation
plan (see Special Note C); and a PowerPoint presentation summarizing the
background, objectives, research method, results, and benefits. SPECIAL NOTES
A. Proposals are evaluated by the ACRP staff and project panels consisting of
individuals collectively very knowledgeable in the problem area. Selection of
an agency is made by the project panel considering the following factors: (1)
the proposer's demonstrated understanding of the problem; (2) the merit of the
proposed research approach and experiment design; (3) the experience,
qualifications, and objectivity of the research team in the same or closely
related problem area; (4) the plan for ensuring application of results; (5) the
proposer's plan for participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises--small
firms owned and controlled by minorities or women; and (6) the adequacy of the
facilities. Note: The proposer's plan for participation by Disadvantaged
Business Enterprises should be incorporated in Item 5 of the proposal. B.
Proposals should include a task-by-task breakdown of labor hours for each staff
member as shown in Figure 5 in the brochure, "Information and Instructions
for Preparing Proposals" (www.trb.org/crp/about/divd.asp under
"Current RFPs [Requests for Proposals]"). Proposals also should
include a breakdown of all costs (e.g., wages, indirect costs, travel,
materials, and total) for each task. C. ACRP projects are intended to produce
results that will be applied in practice, and proposals and the project final
report must contain implementation plans for moving the results of the research
into practice. Item 4(c), "Anticipated Research Results," in each
proposal must include an Implementation Plan that describes activities to
promote application of the product of this research. It is expected that the
implementation plan will evolve during the project; however, proposals must
describe, as a minimum, the following: (a) the "product" expected
from the research, (b) the audience or "market" for this product, (c)
a realistic assessment of impediments to successful implementation, (d) the
institutions and individuals who might take leadership in applying the research
product, (e) the activities necessary for successful implementation, and (f)
the criteria for judging the progress and consequences of implementation. D.
Item 5 in the proposal, "Qualifications of the Research Team," must
include a section labeled "Disclosure." Information relevant to the
ACRP's need to ensure objectivity and to be aware of possible sources of
significant financial or organizational conflict of interest in conducting the
research must be presented in this section of the proposal. For example, under
certain conditions, ownership of the proposing agency, other organizational
relationships, or proprietary rights and interests could be perceived as
jeopardizing an objective approach to the research effort, and proposers are
asked to disclose any such circumstances and to explain how they will be
accounted for in this study. If there are no issues related to objectivity,
this should be stated. E. Useful resources for this project include: 1. 14 CFR

F. For purposes of this project, airport sizes are defined as small=Index A/B,
medium=Index B/C/D, and large=Index D/E. See 14 CFR Part 139.315 for Index
definitions. G. Proposals shall describe the proposed test plan. (1) Will alpha
and beta testing be required? (2) Who and how many will do the beta testing?
(3) How will the validation of the end result be done? (4) What will it cost?
H. The standard clause in the contract for ACRP projects requires that all
software documentation, programs, and code developed under this project shall
be a specific deliverable and become the exclusive property of the CRP.
Proposals should include the proposer’s thoughts on ownership and maintenance
of the software. I. The panel has reserved $100,000 for an anticipated
follow-on project that will provide workshops to familiarize the user community
with use of the tool developed under ACRP Project 4-04. Proposals (20
single-bound copies) are due not later than 4:30 p.m. on 3/14/2007. This is a
firm deadline, and extensions simply are not granted. In order to be
considered, all 20 copies of the agency's proposal accompanied by the executed,
unmodified Liability Statement must be in our offices not later than the
deadline shown, or they will be rejected. Delivery Address: PROPOSAL-ACRP ATTN:
