    summary: The Department of Transportation (the Department) requested 
    that IVHS AMERICA, as part of its function as a utilized Federal 
    Advisory Committee, provide recommendations on procurement issues 
    pertaining to the national Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) 
    program. IVHS AMERICA replied by submitting an October 1993 paper, 
    ``Procurement Issues in IVHS Development and Deployment.'' This notice 
    sets forth the Department of Transportation's response to IVHS 
    AMERICA's procurement recommendations.

    supplementary information: The objective of the national IVHS program 
    is to apply advanced technology in the areas of information processing, 
    communications, traffic control, and electronics to improve safety, 
    reduce congestion, increase mobility, reduce the energy and 
    environmental harm caused by transportation, and increase economic 
    productivity. The IVHS also incorporates the use of strategic planning 
    and innovative management practices at all levels of government to 
    implement those initiatives which enhance our national surface 
    transportation system, strengthen our economy, and benefit a broad 
    range of users.
        The Department requested that IVHS AMERICA provide recommendations 
    on procurement in response to both public and private sector concerns 
    that existing Federal and State procurement laws could serve as a 
    constraint to IVHS deployment. The Department published a Report to 
    Congress on Nontechnical Constraints and Barriers to Implementation of 
    Intelligent Vehicle-Highway System (June 1994) which discussed several 
    of the procurement issues raised by IVHS AMERICA relating to IVHS 
    development and deployment.
        In addition, the Department drafted a formal response to IVHS 
    AMERICA's recommendations. The text of the letter to Mr. James 
    Costantino, Executive Director, IVHS AMERICA, from the FHWA dated June 
    3, 1994, presenting the Department's response is set forth below:
    
    Dear Mr. Costantino:
        In further response to my November 22 letter, I am forwarding a 
    detailed response to IVHS AMERICA's recommendations on IVHS procurement 
    issues. We also plan to publish the response in the Federal Register. 
    Once again, I would like to thank IVHS AMERICA's Board of Directors, 
    the Coordinating Council, and the Procurement Task Force for their 
    efforts.
    
    Sincerely yours,
    E. Dean Carlson,
    Executive Director.
    
    Enclosure
    
    Department of Transportation's Response to IVHS AMERICA's Procurement 
    Recommendations
    
        Note: The problem statements and recommendations are taken 
    directly from the October 1993 paper, ``Procurement Issues in IVHS 
    Development and Deployment,'' forwarded by IVHS AMERICA in its role 
    as an advisory committee to the Department of Transportation. The 
    Department's responses are in italics.
    
        1. Problem Statement: Contractors feel that the government insists 
    upon receiving more intellectual property rights than are necessary for 
    government purposes and does not pay the full value of such rights, 
    reducing the contractor's ability to offset its development costs 
    through sales to other government and private sector buyers.
        First Recommendation--Government should only seek those 
    intellectual property rights necessary for their portion of an IVHS 
    system.
        Department's Response: The Intermodal Surface Transportation 
    Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 states that one of the goals of the 
    national IVHS Program is to support the development and promotion of an 
    IVHS industry. Balancing competing interests in intellectual property 
    rights in a manner that will promote, rather than constrain, the 
    development and availability of IVHS technologies presents a challenge. 
    The Department of Transportation (the Department) is addressing this 
    challenge through its research and development and operational testing 
    activities. Partnership agreements, which serve as the contractual 
    mechanism for IVHS operational tests, clearly state the Department's 
    objective on intellectual property. Consistent with the federal patent 
    policy, non-federal participants in operational tests retain title to 
    the subject inventions as an incentive to develop technological 
    innovations. The Department retains the minimum license necessary to 
    meet the Federal government's needs, leaving contractors and partners 
    with the necessary rights to encourage private sector investment in the 
    development of commercial products.
        Second Recommendation--Government should create a uniform specific 
    policy about what property rights will be sought, and also develop 
    specific publicized methods for seeking waivers of the usual public-
    private allocation and be willing to negotiate these issues before a 
    contract is awarded.
        Department's Response: As noted above, the Department's current 
    policy is to provide its partners and contractors with title to subject 
    inventions developed as part of the IVHS program. The Department 
    maintains only an irrevocable license. This is a minimum right which 
    cannot be ``negotiated away.'' However, the Department strongly 
    supports U.S. IVHS product development and would not take action which 
    would infringe on its commercial viability. The Department is therefore 
    committed to not only outlining this policy in its contracts and 
    partnership agreements, but to also, developing a set of principles and 
    guidelines which will be published within calendar year 1994.
        Third Recommendation--Government should utilize the experience from 
    other IVHS procurements and other federal agencies to address this 
    issue.
        Department's Response: We agree that the Department can learn from 
    other agencies which have developed innovative procurement mechanisms. 
    The Department reviewed other Federal agencies' policies before 
    developing the standard partnership agreement which is used for IVHS 
    operational tests. The agreement has been slightly refined and modified 
    based on experiences gained throughout the life of the Program. The 
    Department has also begun using other procurement mechanisms to solicit 
    IVHS projects (e.g., the broad agency announcement for the automated 
    highway system) and will continue to seek guidance on innovative means 
    to facilitate procurement.
        2. Problem Statement: The development and deployment of IVHS 
    systems will frequently entail coordination of overlapping governmental 
    requirements, either of different levels (federal, state, etc.) or of 
    regional groups (e.g., EZ PASS), and nationwide deployment efforts will 
    involve applications of similar systems in varying state and local 
    jurisdictions. Coordination of these overlapping and sometimes 
    conflicting requirements will require time and resources as well as 
    present potential obstacles.
        Recommendation--The federal government should spearhead efforts to 
    coordinate requirements, through demonstration/model rules for IVHS 
    procurements, seeking revisions to ISTEA authority to allow interstate 
    compacts so that regional requirements can be conformed, and through 
    providing information to the IVHS community about the scope and 
    existence of conflicting rules.
        Department's Response: The Department recognizes the complexity and 
    cost involved in complying with procurement regulations that will vary 
    among jurisdictions and levels of government. Several efforts are 
    planned or underway to respond to the concerns of the IVHS community.
        Adherence to multiple requirements, of course, will take time, but 
    the Department will seek to reduce unnecessary delays caused by 
    conflicts which may arise late in the course of IVHS projects. The 
    Department will encourage jurisdictions to involve their procurement 
    representatives early in the process of project formation so that they 
    are aware of project goals and can immediately set out to identify and 
    resolve potential conflicts. By involving procurement specialists early 
    in the project, jurisdictions may find that some procedures can be 
    established that will be satisfactory to all parties, eliminating 
    duplication of procedures.
        Several efforts are underway at the Department to gather 
    information on multiple, conflicting requirements that inhibit the 
    progress of IVHS projects. The Department completed a study in 
    September 1993, investigating multi-jurisdictional issues encountered 
    by six metropolitan areas implementing varying scales of traffic 
    management projects. The Department has also completed case studies of 
    several IVHS operational tests involving multiple jurisdictions, 
    including Advance, HELP, Transcom/Transmit, and Advantage I-75, and 
    preparations are underway to monitor additional tests. Program-wide 
    evaluations of operational tests will yield more information on 
    specific problems encountered in multi-jurisdictional IVHS 
    procurements, and the Department will share evaluation results with the 
    public and the IVHS community.
        Regional operational authorities may be an appropriate, efficient 
    mechanism for coordinating IVHS systems across jurisdictional 
    boundaries and reducing multiple requirements. The merits of 
    recommending legislative changes to permit the formation of interstate 
    compacts for deployment of IVHS are under consideration by the 
    Department. It should be recognized, however, that many communities, 
    municipalities, and states believe it is in the best interest of their 
    constituencies to retain operational and oversight authority over their 
    traffic management systems. The Department will, in any event, pursue 
    policies that will promote the successful coordination of IVHS across 
    jurisdictional lines.
        3. Problem Statement: Many of the private and public sector 
    entities that will be involved in the procurement of IVHS systems are 
    inexperienced in high technology procurements, leading to delays, 
    missteps, and less effective competition.
        Recommendation--Provide, support, expand, or publicize training 
    sessions on high technology procurement issues for state and local 
    procurement personnel and for businesses.
        Department's Response: The Department strongly endorses developing 
    and promoting training on high technology procurement. The Department 
    is in the midst of its effort to provide support to State and local 
    governments and the private sector on high technology procurement 
    issues. The effort began in January 1993 with a conference on Public/
    Private Partnerships: Managing the Legal Issues. The conference 
    included sessions on forming partnerships, defining project objectives, 
    intellectual property, and cost accounting. In January 1994, the 
    Department and IVHS AMERICA jointly sponsored a conference on 
    intellectual property rights under public/partnership agreements. As 
    part of its Fiscal Year 1994 activities, the Department is developing 
    two projects on procurement--an IVHS contracting course and a 
    procurement research project. The objective of the former is to cover 
    various aspects of contracting, including drafting specifications, 
    allocation of intellectual property rights, ways to minimize or avoid 
    protests and claims, and alternative funding mechanisms. The objectives 
    of the latter is to provide recommendations for improving the 
    efficiency of the procurement process and developing alternative models 
    for procurement of IVHS technology. The focus of the procurement 
    research project will be on developing methods to work within existing 
    organizational structures. The Department will continue to work closely 
    with IVHS AMERICA and other interested organizations in developing and 
    implementing procurement research, training, and informational efforts 
    which address all governmental levels (Federal, state, and local) and 
    the private sector.
        4. Problem Statement: Cost accounting, auditing, and cost and price 
    certification requirements create an expensive burden on potential IVHS 
    contractors, increase the costs to the taxpayers of IVHS deployment, 
    and reduce the pool of effective competitors.
        Recommendation--Minimize the procurements in which these 
    requirements are applied to those where the goals of the rules are 
    applicable.
        Department's Response: In addressing cost accounting, cost 
    certification, and auditing requirements, it is important to 
    distinguish between direct Federal procurements and contracts under 
    Federal grants and cooperative agreements. Most government IVHS 
    procurement will be conducted by State and local [agencies] rather than 
    Federal government agencies. For these procurements, the Federal 
    requirements for cost accounting, cost certification and auditing of 
    commercial contractors are limited. IVHS procurements funded by Federal 
    grants and cooperative agreements to State transportation agencies 
    (which is the typical scenario) are subject to the Uniform 
    Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements with 
    State and Local Governments (OMB Circular A-102, known as the ``common 
    rule''), codified by the Department of Transportation at 49 CFR Part 18 
    and the requirements of Title 23, U.S. Code. The common rule reflects 
    the doctrine of federalism, under which States are given the maximum 
    administrative discretion possible with respect to the national 
    programs they administer. When procuring property and services under a 
    grant or cooperative agreement, a State follows the same policies and 
    procedures it uses for procurements from its non-Federal funds. 
    Although such procurements are State administered, the Department has a 
    role in the IVHS program in providing technical assistance in the 
    development of State and local procurement laws and procedures. As 
    noted above, the Department is developing two projects on procurement. 
    The Department is also studying procurement issues as they arise in 
    IVHS operational test projects and will develop projects to address 
    those issues as appropriate.
        Direct Departmental IVHS contracting efforts are focused primarily 
    at research and development and program support and are governed by the 
    Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The FAR contains provisions for 
    exemptions from or waiver of submission of certified cost or pricing 
    data for negotiated contracts. FAR 15.804-3. A proposed rule was 
    published on March 28, 1994, to ``address unnecessarily requiring the 
    submission of cost or pricing data'' and to clarify when adequate price 
    competition exists. 59 FR 14458. The proposed rule states that when 
    there is a reasonable expectation that adequate price competition will 
    result on a particular procurement, ``the contracting officer should 
    rarely have a need to require the submission or certification of cost 
    or pricing data, regardless of the contract type.''
        Current regulations provide that the contracting officer shall not 
    require submission or certification of cost or pricing data when prices 
    are (1) based on adequate price competition, (2) based on established 
    catalog or market prices of commercial items sold in substantial 
    quantities to the general public, or (3) set by law or regulation. 
    Price competition exists if (1) offers are solicited, (2) two or more 
    responsible offerors that can satisfy the Government's requirements 
    submit priced offers responsive to the solicitation's expressed 
    requirements, and (3) these offers compete independently for a contract 
    to be awarded to the responsible offeror submitting the lowest 
    evaluated price.
        At the recommendation of industry, the proposed rule clarifies the 
    third condition for price competition by revising it to read: ``Award 
    will be made to a responsible offeror whose proposal is either (A) the 
    lowest price: or (B) Offers the greatest value (see 15.605(c)) to the 
    Government and price is a stated substantial factor in source 
    selection.'' Thus, agencies have flexibility to waive cost and pricing 
    data in a best value, negotiated procurement of the type generally used 
    for Federal IVHS procurements. The Department will give closer 
    consideration to the application of the cost and pricing requirements 
    in its IVHS procurements.
        5. Problem Statement: With respect to procurement issues, the 
    potential for large products liability expenses may deter potential 
    IVHS vendors from participating in government procurements and, thus, 
    reduce competition and increase prices.
        Recommendation--The government can seek statutory authority to 
    indemnify contractors, can take actions necessary to enable contractors 
    to invoke the government contract immunity doctrine, and can assist in 
    ensuring that reasonably-priced insurance is available to reduce the 
    uncertainties of potential product liability exposure.
        Department's Response: The Department of Transportation, as well as 
    the Department of Justice, does not believe there has been a 
    demonstrated need for protectionist legislation to minimize potential 
    products liability expenses on the part of IVHS designers, developers, 
    or manufacturers. There has been no showing that liability concerns 
    have indeed inhibited investment in or development of IVHS 
    technologies. It is too early, accordingly, to consider the merits of 
    legislation or other actions to protect developers or operators from 
    liability risks. Additionally, no sufficient basis has been advanced 
    for the Department to pursue legislation regarding Federal 
    indemnification at this time. Such legislative proposals have budgetary 
    implications and need very strong demonstrated justification in order 
    to be considered by both the Departments of Transportation and Justice.
        More specifically, with regard to the driver and traffic management 
    information systems, for example, the liability exposure of 
    participants in the automated traffic management systems (ATMS) and 
    automated traffic information systems (ATIS) does not appear to be 
    unique. It could be avoided, in any event, by the application of sound 
    engineering principles. The advanced vehicle control systems (AVCS) 
    carry the potential for enormous safety benefits. Their attendant risks 
    of liability correlate to the degree of safe engineering practices; the 
    National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and other organizations 
    are engaged in extensive testing and analyses of these systems. The 
    automated highway system (AHS), which poses the potentially greatest 
    safety benefits, also carries risks of system malfunctions. This 
    program, through, is still in its early stages of design and 
    development. Extensive testing and assessment will be accomplished 
    through the planned AHS consortium, and liability constraints will be 
    carefully analyzed within that context. Additionally, the high level of 
    industry interest in the AHS program suggests that the IVHS community 
    is not being unduly chilled by liability concerns at this time. It is, 
    accordingly, premature to conclude that liability issues pose 
    significant constraints to the deployment of this system.
        It is the best government policy to encourage the safest, most 
    effective transportation advancements by maintaining a stimulus for the 
    IVHS developers to produce safe products and establish safe services. 
    Limiting liability would lessen the incentive for those capable of 
    controlling the design and manufacture of the products. Transferring 
    liability to the Federal government by, for example, indemnification of 
    IVHS manufacturers for a proportion of their liability costs or for 
    judgements that exceed available insurance coverage, would result in 
    similar safety disincentives. Such measures undermine the function of 
    tort liability as a means of causing a manufacturer or designer to act 
    with due care.
        The Department is willing to work with IVHS AMERICA in exploring 
    the availability of insurance for IVHS development projects. To date, 
    to the Department's knowledge, participants in federally funded 
    operational tests have not encountered problems with insurance 
    coverage. Accordingly, legislation or other actions to ensure coverage 
    appear to be premature. Nevertheless, the Department agrees that it is 
    useful to include the insurance industry in relevant workshops and 
    outreach programs.
        For these reasons, the Department is not disposed to suggest that 
    protective legislation is necessary to promote the implementation of 
    IVHS technologies at this time. The Department will, however, consider 
    the need for legislation, if any, during the course of our evaluations 
    of legal issues during the operational tests and the AHS development 
    program. The Department will also work with IVHS AMERICA and other 
    interested participants to encourage the involvement of the insurance 
    industry in public discussion concerning IVHS development.
        6. Problem Statement: The cost of complying with varying 
    governmental recordkeeping and administrative requirements will add to 
    the cost of deploying IVHS systems at a time when government needs to 
    be most efficient.
        Recommendation--Evaluate every administrative requirement that 
    differs from traditional commercial practices to determine whether it 
    is worth the added cost to the taxpayers and society, and take 
    aggressive action to reduce administrative cost of compliance with such 
    requirements.
        Department's Response: A number of general procurement reform 
    activities are underway within the Government and the private sector, 
    and the Department will monitor those activities as they potentially 
    impact IVHS procurements. Many of the specific reasons for the higher 
    cost of doing business with the government identified in the IVHS 
    AMERICA procurement paper do not apply to IVHS procurements because of 
    the low dollar amount of these procurements or because of the nature of 
    the acquisitions, i.e., research studies rather than products. It 
    cannot be assumed, nor has it been demonstrated, that problems 
    encountered in large DOD, NASA or other agency systems acquisitions 
    apply to Departmental IVHS research and development activities. To the 
    extent that specific problems can be identified with State or local 
    IVHS procurements, the Department will sponsor research and work with 
    the interested parties to recommend solutions.
        7. Problem Statement: Larger IVHS vendors believe they will be 
    unfairly excluded from providing the full range of IVHS design and 
    implementation services due to organization conflict of interest (OCI) 
    limitations at all levels of government.
        Recommendation--Clarify the applicability of OCI rules and preempt 
    application of unreasonable OCI rules by State and local governments.
        Department's Response: Again, it is important to distinguish 
    between direct Federal procurements and State and local procurements. 
    The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) organizational conflict of 
    interest provisions do not apply to State and local procurements. 
    Accordingly, a contractor would not be restricted from eligibility for 
    State and local procurements as a result of the FAR conflict of 
    interest rules. States and local governments use their own procurement 
    procedures, including conflict of interest rules.
        OCI rules in some form are necessary to provide governments with 
    impartial advice and to preserve fair and open competition. The 
    Department agrees, however, that the application of those rules to the 
    IVHS program should be studied. The Department will consider State and 
    local organizational conflict of interest rules as part of its research 
    on innovative procurement methods. The Department will make appropriate 
    recommendations and provide technical assistance in this area to State 
    and local governments in developing necessary laws and regulations for 
    acquisition of IVHS systems.
        8. Problem Statement: Uncertainties resulting from public 
    procurement policies, political involvement with procurements, and 
    delays increase the cost of IVHS development and deployment and 
    discourage vendors from participating in this arena.
        Recommendation--Engage in aggressive information exchange to reduce 
    delays due to unrealistic scheduling and lack of advance planning, 
    including seeking information from and distributing information to 
    State and local entities and the private sector.
        Department's Response: The IVHS AMERICA paper addresses a number of 
    concerns on project uncertainties including procurement policies and 
    potential Congressional involvement in the management of the IVHS 
    program. The Department has some control over its own procurement 
    policies to improve multi-jurisdictional, multi-partner contracts. 
    However, the Department has little or no control over Congressional 
    earmarking, except to explain the negative impacts on the Program. 
    Congress has not interfered with the Department's implementation and 
    management of IVHS projects. Therefore, this should not be a great 
    concern for those interested in forming IVHS partnerships.
        The primary problem with uncertainties in the government's 
    contracting process is largely due to lack of communication, 
    particularly in the early stages of a project. The Department 
    recognizes this problem and is beginning to aggressively examine means 
    to address this issue. As part of its Fiscal Year 1994 program, the 
    Department will test and examine the benefits of a voluntary pre-
    agreement conference for early deployment and operational test 
    participants. The objective of the project is to examine the benefits 
    of a pre-negotiation process. The project's aim is to provide early and 
    greater involvement by subgrantees and contractors in the development 
    of the project and the negotiation of the partnership agreement. The 
    results of this project will be used to develop mechanisms to 
    facilitate multi-jurisdictional, multi-partner cooperation.
        The Department will also include [a] representative of its 
    contracting offices in the early stages of a project so that advance 
    procurement planning can [be] facilitated.
        As noted in the response under #2, the Department is also 
    continuing its effort to track and examine institutional issues in U.S. 
    operational tests. The objectives of the operational test case studies 
    is to examine institutional and legal impediments encountered, and how 
    they were addressed. The ``lessons learned'' emphasis of the studies 
    will be beneficial for future multi-jurisdictional, multi-partner 
    efforts.
        The Department will continue to work with its partners, including 
    IVHS AMERICA, in its efforts to make IVHS procurement policies and 
    contractual agreements consistent and comprehendible.
        9. Problem Statement: The lack of broad agreement on the definition 
    of public-private partnerships for IVHS and the methods by which they 
    should be implemented create uncertainty over applicable procurement 
    rules.
        Recommendation--The Department should consult with the IVHS-
    community and promulgate specific regulations or guidelines addressing 
    the use of public-private partnerships in IVHS development and 
    deployment in order to provide a definite framework for their 
    implementation and to ensure that full and open competition 
    requirements are not undermined inappropriately.
        Department's Response: The Department disagrees that specific 
    regulations or guidelines are needed to address the use of public-
    private partnerships in IVHS development and deployment. An IVHS 
    ``partnership'' escapes a clear definition because it may mean 
    something very different depending on the objectives of a particular 
    endeavor or the area of emphasis--research, development, operational 
    testing, deployment, or commercial product development. Consequently, 
    the opportunities for innovation and flexibility associated with 
    public-private partnerships should not be constrained within Federal 
    guidelines or regulations.
        The role of the Federal Government in IVHS public-private 
    partnership is as a provider of information on the different means of 
    structuring public-private partnership. A good start was the January 
    1994 conference, IVHS Public-Private Partnerships: Managing the Legal 
    Issues. The Federal Government also serves as a trend setter by using 
    its research and testing program to experiment with new contractual 
    mechanisms. IVHS AMERICA also plays a critical role in broadening the 
    use of public-private partnerships through its role as clearinghouse of 
    ideas on new contractual mechanisms for all levels of government and 
    the private sector. As the Federal IVHS institutional issues program is 
    further developed, the Federal Government will look more aggressively 
    towards providing outreach to State and local governments and the 
    private sector on IVHS public-private partnerships. In turn, the 
    Federal Government will continue its learning process by researching 
    and, where appropriate, applying innovative partnership arrangements 
    developed by other Federal agencies, States, local governments, and the 
    private sector.
