When airports move from planning and programming for an APM system to procuring the design and construction services to deliver the system, there are several procurement models available to the owner. This paper will discuss several models, their differences, advantages, and disadvantages. The options available range from a single contract for the guideway and system to a separate contract for each component. The procurement models discussed include design-bid-build (DBB), design-build (DB), and design build operate maintain (DBOM). The owner must also choose if the vehicle supplier will be selected independently from the construction service provider(s). The investment of an APM system is an investment in the immediate and future functionality of the airport. Selection of the appropriate procurement model sets the stage for not only the delivery and startup of the system, but the operation, maintenance, and potential expansion.
