| Abstract | This is one of a series of case studies that examine procurement approaches used to deliver Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) projects. The purpose of these reports is to provide examples of successful strategies that have been used to overcome ITS procurement challenges within the traditional "Design-Bid-Build" project delivery approach. Many ITS projects are stand-alone in nature, and do not have to be procured under rules for construction. The installation of field devices and communications infrastructure often meets the definition of construction. However, if a project involves the development of software for the purpose of integrating field devices, then it does not meet this definition. The purpose of this series is to show that other procurement options are available under Federal-aid regulations for projects that do not meet the definition of construction. This case study provides an overview of the CHART II system design contract that the Maryland State Highway Administration (MDSHA) used to procure system engineering expertise necessary for the federally-funded CHART II upgrade program. |
