DOT has established a VII Developmental Test Environment (DTE) in Detroit, MI and will conduct a Proof of Concept (POC) testing in the winter and spring of 2008. Following the POC, DOT may keep the DTE operational so that both DOT-sponsored VII testing can continue and so that other organizations may conduct live VII testing as well. DOT is interested in receiving input and expressions of interest in using the DTE by other private and public sector entities and input and expressions of interest on options for continuing to operate and maintain this VII DTE. The responses to the Request for Information (RFI) may result in the government releasing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a potential award of a contract to operate and maintain the DTE Michigan test site.
Comments and responses to the Questions should be received in writing on or before March 13, 2008.
