The MIA Mover is an elevated Landside Automated People Mover (APM) system that is being implemented at Miami International Airport (MIA) by the Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD). The MIA Mover will provide a convenient and reliable means for transporting passengers between a centrally located MIA station and the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). One of the first elements of the MIC currently being constructed under the supervision of the Florida Department of Transportation is a Consolidated Rental Car Facility which is scheduled for completion in mid-2010. Other elements of the MIC programmed to come on line in the near future include links to the regional transit and commuter rail systems. MDAD commitments for the operational readiness date for the MIA Mover necessitated that the entire project (infrastructure and operating system) be procured under a single Design-Build-Operate-Maintain contract (inclusive of infrastructure and operating system). Draft documents were issued for an Industry Review in the second quarter of 2004 to solicit industry input, and the Request for Proposals was advertised in December 2004. The DBOM Contractor has been selected and the Contract was awarded in July 2008. This paper examines the various factors that resulted in the extended procurement duration including the competitive environment that resulted proposals for different classes of technologies, the effects on the construction market in the post-Katrina and the overall global demand that resulted in hyper-inflationary pressures, the economic reality of budgets and related policy implications.
