About this IDV

The contracted work involves detailed assessment and preparation of revised forecasts for these proposed new transit projects. This alternate strategy has demonstrated effectiveness in resolving protracted issues that can arise when project sponsors do not have the capabilities to adequately respond to FTA reviews. The BPA has a $0 potential value and was awarded on March 18, 2013, with the last date to place orders being March 17, 2017.
Description
Detailed assessment and preparation of revised forecasts for new starts projects. The federal transit administration has traditionally relied on sponsors of proposed new starts and small starts projects to prepare ridership forecasts for those projects, apply appropriate quality-control strategies to the forecasts, and respond effectively to FTA comments and concerns. This approach works well when the project sponsor has the resources skills, mindset, and funding needed to support this work. In some cases, however, efforts by project sponsors to respond effectively to FTA reviews have devolved into protracted back-and-forth exchanges that make only limited progress towards resolution of the issues. In a few cases of this nature, FTA has assigned contractor S to do the work. These cases have demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of this alternative strategy. The purpose of this project is to enable FTA to make routine use of this strategy under circumstances where the project sponsor does not have the resources necessary to bring closure to travel-forecasting issues.
