Transportation Asset Management Planning

The Addison County Regional Planning Commission has initiated a procurement opportunity for transportation asset management planning services on behalf of the Towns of Shoreham and Ripton in Vermont. The primary objective of this contract is to develop comprehensive Asset Management plans that encompass the towns' transportation-related infrastructure, including road networks, major equipment, bridges, and culverts. Potential contractors will be expected to produce detailed documentation that inventories, assesses, and strategizes maintenance and potential improvements for these critical transportation assets. The solicitation was posted on September 22, 2025, with proposals due by October 15, 2025, indicating a relatively short procurement timeline of approximately three weeks. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the available information, respondents will likely need to demonstrate expertise in municipal infrastructure assessment, asset management planning, and transportation systems analysis.

The procurement appears to be open to qualified consulting firms and transportation planning professionals without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Given the regional nature of the project and the involvement of multiple municipal entities, potential respondents should have experience working with small rural municipalities and comprehensive transportation infrastructure planning. Unfortunately, the attached request for proposal (RFP) document was unavailable due to a 404 error, which limits the ability to provide precise details about potential award values or specific budget ranges. Interested vendors would need to obtain the complete RFP documentation directly from the Addison County Regional Planning Commission to fully understand the scope, requirements, and potential compensation for this asset management planning project. Respondents should be prepared to demonstrate technical capabilities in infrastructure assessment, GIS mapping, condition evaluation, and long-term asset management strategies specific to rural transportation infrastructure.
