Build America Bureau - Technical Advisor

The Federal Highway Administration’s Build America Bureau is conducting market research to identify qualified firms that can provide lender‑technical advisory (LTA) services across a broad range of transportation asset classes. This is a sources‑sought request for information (RFI), not a solicitation, and aims to shape a future contract vehicle for independent technical advice to lenders, rating agencies, and credit programs. Respondents must demonstrate capability in engineering, cost‑schedule‑risk analysis, regulatory compliance, and financial/credit literacy, and must indicate their ability to work alone or with subcontractors across asset classes such as highways, transit, rail, aviation, ports, and more. • Scope includes six task areas: prescreen, pre‑closing due diligence, financing document support, construction monitoring, post‑closing asset management, and program‑level advisory. • Required expertise: lender‑side practice, multidisciplinary engineering disciplines, cost‑schedule‑risk analysis, delivery‑procurement knowledge, federal regulatory familiarity, and financial model interpretation. • Submission limits: max 7 pages (excluding cover page), electronic only, no proprietary information, and must be sent by October 27 2026 to the listed contacts.
