Simply put, the procurement process is a mechanism to competitively match an "Owner's needs for goods or services" to potential suppliers in the marketplace. The complexity of the process is directly related to the types of goods or services anticipated for procurement. The procurement of a transportation system, especially a transit system, is a complex process; the need for transportation corridor improvements or implementation of new corridors is a public policy issue and a high priority at all levels of transportation planning and management. Safe, efficient and effective transportation systems (whether they are roads or transit) is a key factor that affects the desirability, effectiveness/efficiency and economic competitiveness of a given facility, area or region. Demand on the transportation systems is driven by population growth and addressing the needs, both economic and quality of life are high priority public policy issues. In an environment of limited public funding and a growing need for transportation infrastructure investment to promote and sustain the economic wellbeing of the region, the Redevelopment Authority Allegheny County (RAAC) through the Transportation Action Partnership (TAP), have been evaluating the feasibility of delivering high priority transportation/transit improvement projects in a phased manner, including through a Public Private Partnership (P3) arrangement. Under the P3 premise, the corridors have two primary components: delivery of transportation system improvements and conveyance of development rights to certain parcels along the corridors for ancillary real estate development that can be supported by latent demand from the major economic engines within the region. This paper examines a strategic procurement planning and project delivery approach that can address the economic needs of the region through delivery of an efficient transportation system in an economically viable manner.
