Request for Information - Transportation Project Management System

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for a Transportation Project Management System. ODOT plans to follow this RFI with a Request for Proposal (RFP) that will likely lead to a multiyear Price Agreement with an anticipated not-to-exceed value of $1,000,000. The anticipated source of funds is State Highway funds, and funding is expected to be available due to the high priority of this project for ODOT's project delivery business needs. ODOT is seeking feedback and information from consulting and technology services vendors to inform the future RFP, with the goals of reducing duplication of efforts for transportation project managers and stakeholders, increasing efficiency and productivity by integrating transportation project management data, and implementing a data system and architecture that serves as a single source of truth for project management data reporting. ODOT has a strong preference for Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) software products, either on-premise or cloud-hosted, rather than custom-built solutions, due to cost, ease of maintenance/support, and integration considerations.

ODOT is interested in obtaining consulting services to help plan, procure, implement, and maintain an integrated project management data system that allows for one-time data entry and is to be used by over 80 transportation project managers, project development engineers, and technical staff throughout the state. There is not currently an incumbent vendor providing this type of advisory and consulting services for STIP Project Management processes and systems, and ODOT anticipates releasing the RFP within 12 months of completing the RFI stage. The RFI responses are due by May 16, 2022.
