RFP issued for Rapid Mass Transit Solution P3 in USA
Miami-Dade county in Florida, USA, represented by the Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) has issued a RFP for Rapid Mass Transit Solution for the North Corridor.
The county is soliciting proposals from qualified Proposers to design, permit, construct/build, finance, manage, operate, and maintain a Rapid Mass Transit Solution on the North Corridor of the Miami-Dade County’s SMART Plan that is intended to implement an elevated fixed guideway transit system along the North Corridor extending from NW 215th Street and connecting to either the Northside Metrorail Station or Martin Luther King, Jr. Metrorail Station via NW 27th Avenue under a Project Agreement.
The concession contract term is planned to be 30 years with the option for two 10-year extensions.
In April 2016, the TPO approved the implementation of the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan, which establishes a countywide rapid transit vision to improve transit service in Miami-Dade County by expanding transit service to six new premium transit major transportation corridors. The North Corridor is one of the six corridors.
In December 2018, the TPO Governing Board selected an elevated fixed guideway transit system as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA). Various transit technologies are being considered for an elevated fixed guideway transit system, including Automated Guideway Transit/Automated Peoplemover (AGT/APM), Heavy Rail Transit (HRT), Urban Maglev, and Monorail. In October 2019, the TPO Governing Board affirmed the HRT as the LPA. Solutions that do not include an extension of the County’s existing Metrorail system may require the TPO to reconsider the LPA and for the Concessionaire to support the County in the completion and/or re-evaluation of PD&E and NEPA documents and processes.
The design and construction timeline shall not exceed 7 years from the expiration of the Interim Agreement. Proposers must comply with any and all areas of the Technical Specifications that are applicable to their proposed Solution.
The tender process will be divided into two phases. In Phase 1, the County will solicit and evaluate the Phase 1 Proposals with the intent of short listing the Proposers.he Short Listed Proposers will be invited to participate in the ATC process and to prepare a Phase 2 Proposal. The County will issue the RFP Phase 2 to the Short Listed Proposers.
The pre-proposal conference will be held via Zoom on June 23, 2020 at 10:00 AM (Eastern Time).
The proposal submission deadline is on August 5, 2020. You can see the details of the RFP on our business opportunity page here.
