Through this contract NICHD sponsors a network of clinical centers which participate in clinical trials of therapies to prevent mother to child transmission of HIV infection and to treat pediatric HIV disease. NICHD plans to further assess the critical factors responsible for perinatal transmission of HIV-1 by conducting the following study: (1) The influence of ovulatory phase on the detection of HIV-1 in the vaginocervical secretions from HIV seropositive women. It is the intent of NICHD and Westat to award additional subcontracts to qualified organizations to perform this research. Organizations interested in conducting this study should submit five copies of a statement of capabilities which must include the following: (a) evidence of an existing longitudinal co-hort of HIV-1 seropositive women (b) demonstrated ability to perform intensive substudies requiring weekly interviews and gynecologic examinations for eight weeks (c) demonstrated ability to collect, process, and ship cervicovaginal secretions according to current state of the art procedures, (d) a description of staff qualifications (include CVs of the proposed Principal Investigator (PI), description of HIV-related and non-HIV-related research experience (types and number of studies including drug trials, natural history studies, etc., total patient enrollment per study); and e) a description of the physical facilities where work is to be conducted.

The date for receipt of proposals has been extended from 23 December 1996 to 13 January 1997. Contract award is still anticipated to be on 1 April 1997. An Industry Day will be held 16 December 1997 at Eglin AFB FL, beginning at 0800 in Bldg 13, Rm 160. All potential offerors and interested parties are invited to attend. The Industry Day will provide a forum to discuss the intent and scope of this PRDA, address questions and provide an opportunity to review some of the literature that will be provided as GFP to the awardee. By way of clarification, during Phase I up to two concepts will be selected and subject to sponsor approval for continuation on to Phase II. The objectives of Phase II are to design and manufacture the necessary hardware to allow sufficient aerodynamic characterization (Phase III) of the concept(s) which was (were) selected in Phase I as being the most promising. Therefore, it may or may not be necessary to build two independent and distinct models. Furthermore, in Phase III an extensive wind tunnel test covering a large parameter space is not envisioned, but should be sufficient to characterize performance and stability of the vehicle(s) for the flight conditions and attitudes of interest. Each proposal should identify the scope and approach the offeror intends to take to achieve the objectives of each phase.

Services will include design and engineering for the buildings only, all track work and site civil design will be performed by Amtrak. All field investigations and survey work will be performed by Amtrak and provided to the selected consultant. The purpose of this RFQ is to establish a short list of five A-E firms who will later be requested to provide a proposal for architectural and engineering services for one, two, or all three of the proposed facilities. Total construction value for the three facilities is expected to be between $120 and $180 million. The Seattle facility will consist of a main building with a service and inspection area housing two 1,100-foot long pits, a locomotive and car maintenance area with overhead bridge cranes and three two spot pit tracks, a parts storage area, offices and welfare facilities. Three separate structures will house the other parts of the operation. The six station fueling and sanding facility, and the wheel truing facility will be housed in one structure. The wash rack will be a separate structure as also will the commissary. The total floor area of all buildings is approximately 188,000 square feet. The Oakland facility consists of a service and inspection canopy over two 1,100-foot long pits, one of which has a wheel truing machine located on it and the other a mail facility; a locomotive service and repair facility with three one spot locomotive pits and a two spot car pit together with associated parts storage, office and welfare facilities. Additionally a train wash facility and a separate four spot fueling and sanding facility will be constructed. Total area of the buildings is approximately 123,000 square feet. The Los Angeles facility will upgrade the existing maintenance yard by lengthening the existing 1,000-foot long pit by 400 feet.; construct two new 1,110-foot long pits parallel to the existing pit; and, construct a canopy over approximately half of the pit area. A new four spot fueling and sanding facility and a future mail track and dock will be included in the plans. Total area of the building is approximately 60,000 square feet. All respondents to this RFQ must show their capability of meeting the following insurance requirements: (1) Workers Compensation, $500,000.00 per occurrence; (2) General Liability, $2,000,000.00; (3) Auto Liability, $1,000,000.00; (4) Railroad Protective, $2,000,000.00 per occurrence, $6,000,000.00 annual aggregate; (5) Errors and Omissions, $5,000,000.00.
