Transportation Planning Reports and Studies

The Federal Highway Administration's Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division awarded a Master IDIQ on April 10, 2019, for transportation planning, traffic monitoring and data program support, traffic counting, asset management, and related engineering services; ordering closed on September 29, 2023.

This vehicle is no longer active for new task orders. The shared ceiling of $4.9 million has been nearly exhausted—$13 million in combined task-order potential value has already been obligated across 28 orders, representing 95 percent of the vehicle's total capacity. The most recent task order was awarded in September 2024, but no new orders have been issued since the ordering deadline passed nearly three years ago. Award velocity has declined sharply, from a peak of 9 orders in 2020 to 2 orders each in 2023 and 2024, signaling that most available work under this vehicle has been deployed.

The work consists of traffic and safety studies at federal lands and National Park Service properties, weigh-in-motion calibration and data analysis, comprehensive river management planning technical assistance, and transportation route studies for the Department of Defense's Surface Deployment and Distribution Command. Representative recent orders include traffic monitoring at Natchez Trace Parkway ($187,907), automated national flap-map generation ($247,762), and Mammoth Cave traffic and safety assessment ($160,770). Larger orders include DoD Power Projection Platform route studies ranging from roughly $266,000 to $1.4 million, and multi-year National Park Service traffic monitoring engagements in the $800,000 to $1.1 million range.

Competition is concentrated among four primes. Kimley-Horn and Associates holds the largest share with 9 orders and $4.5 million in combined potential value. WSP USA follows with 5 orders and $3.8 million; Vanasse Hangen Brustlin with 7 orders and $3.7 million; and Applied Research Associates with 7 orders and $1.8 million. All task orders were issued without set-aside designations. The Federal Highway Administration EFLH placed all 28 orders; no other agencies participated.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Office of Federal Lands Highway (FLH), Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD), has awarded a Master IDIQ for providing Transportation Planning, Traffic Monitoring and Data Program Support Services, Traffic Counting, Asset Management, and other engineering services in connection with the preparation of transportation studies and reports, project development activities, deployment of traffic counting and monitoring equipment and similar activities.
