Rhode Island seeks PPP partner for Intermodal transportation Center
The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT), USA, has launched a Request for Qualification (RFQ) in order to seek a partner for master planning, feasibility, construction and financing the Providence Intermodal Transportation Center (PITC) P3 project.
The project will involve an intermodal bus hub and public parking facility near or adjacent to the Providence Train Station as part of a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) public private partnership (P3). It will also include a bus terminal and public parking along with a residential, retail, office, and/or commercial overbuilds/adjacent development.
In 2014, the voters of the State of Rhode Island approved a US$35 million state bond to support the construction of transit hubs such as PITC. While federal funds are being used for planning, RIDOT does not contemplate using federal funding for design and construction.
The PITC project seeks to efficiently and effectively tie together Rhode Island’s public bus system, Amtrak regional rail, private intercity coach buses, taxi, limo services, and other forms of transportation while at the same time fostering Transit-Oriented Development (TOD).
Submission deadline for interested bidders is on August 30th, 2016 at 11:00 am (Local Time).
See the RFQ document here.
