Prioritization Process Pilot Program

Delaware’s Department of Transportation is seeking a professional consulting firm to modernize and enhance its Capital Transportation Program (CTP) project‑prioritization process. The work includes assessing current criteria, developing new equity‑, resilience‑, growth‑, multimodal‑, energy‑, and freight‑focused criteria, integrating numerous existing data sets (travel‑demand models, equity tools, flood risk maps, GIS, etc.), facilitating stakeholder and public engagement, and delivering a comprehensive implementation plan. The contract is a cost‑plus‑fixed‑fee arrangement, up to two separate awards may be issued, and the term is five years or until the $865,000 federal grant is exhausted. • Assess existing CTP prioritization methodology and identify gaps. • Create updated, data‑driven criteria covering equity, climate resilience, growth, multimodal access, energy, and freight. • Integrate DelDOT’s GIS, travel‑demand, equity, and flood‑risk datasets into a transparent scoring framework. • Lead stakeholder and public outreach to validate the new framework. • Produce an implementation plan, training materials, and documentation for ongoing use.
