1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Purpose
This Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks to solicit bids for an electronic software (e-
TIP) for the Anchorage Metropolitan Area Transportation Solutions (AMATS) to use
for the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The selected software will be an
upgrade from the current Excel-based workflow that AMATS uses and will serve as
an integrated, enterprise-level solution for managing all aspects of TIP development,
programming, fiscal constraint, project tracking, scenario evaluation, as well as
streamline public communication. A centralized environment will support real-time
data updates, automated fiscal constraint validation, improved auditability, version
control, and configurable reporting dashboards.
1.2 Background
AMATS is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Anchorage and
Chugiak/Eagle River areas and directly responsible for overseeing federal
transportation dollars. As part of this responsibility AMATS uses the TIP to program
and fund transportation projects throughout the boundary. The TIP is a 4-year funding
program that needs robust public engagement, exceptional reporting, sound fiscal
constraint, and interactivity with the general public and stakeholders both policy and
technical. The TIP is one of the core documents essential for ensuring hundreds of
millions of dollars in federal funding is eligible to be spent within the Municipality of
Anchorage each year. Consequently, the e-TIP software platform must be sufficiently
robust, secure, and adaptable to support these requirements, facilitate transparent
decision-making, and maintain seamless interoperability with State of Alaska and
Federal transportation funding and programming systems.
