Requests for Proposals - Terminals and Facilities

RFP: Strategies to Address Homelessness at Airports
January 28, 2021
TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has issued a request for proposals to develop a primer and guidebook to help airport operators understand and respond to homeless people at their facility. Proposals are due January 28, 2021 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Development of PFAS Source Differentiation Guidelines for Airports
February 2, 2021
TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has issued a request for proposals to develop: (1) a guidebook of recommended practices for determining the source(s) of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) detected in soil and water on or near an airport and (2) a primer for airport practitioners describing PFAS source attribution concepts and techniques in lay terms. Proposals are due February 2, 2021 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Guidebook for PFAS Management at Airports
February 2, 2021
TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has issued a request for proposals to develop a guidebook to help airports of various levels of activity, resources, and subject matter expertise develop a plan to manage per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) at their facilities. Proposals are due February 2, 2021 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

Seeking project panel nominations for FY 2021 Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP): Nominations due February 5, 2021
February 5, 2021
TCRP is seeking panel nominations for the approved FY 2021 research projects. Descriptions are available of FY 2021 projects for which RFPs are expected to be issued.

Please nominate yourself or other candidates to serve on the expert panels of these research projects online at MyTRB. These panels will develop requests for proposals, select contractors, and review draft deliverables.

Nominations are welcome anytime before February 5, 2021.

RFP: Developing Alternative Aircraft Arresting Systems
February 17, 2021
TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has issued a request for proposals to
(1) Identify and develop potential viable systems, configurations, and technologies for arresting aircraft at all types and sizes of airports that are not covered by existing patents. Solutions could consider but should not be limited to technical alternatives presented under ACRP Report 29: Developing Improved Civil Aircraft Arresting Systems that could be further developed. In addition, the research should include an assessment of economically feasible solutions applicable to GA airports and
(2) Develop a model to evaluate and assess the characteristics of the proposed materials or systems to demonstrate its viability as an acceptable equivalent runway safety area. It should include physical material and or system testing. Proposals are due February 17, 2021 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Transitioning Fuel Tax Assessments to a Road Usage Charge
February 17, 2021
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has issued a request for proposals to evaluate and present viable paths and strategies for implementing road usage charging at the state, multi-state, and regional levels that generate revenues that could supplement, and/or may ultimately replace, motor fuel taxes as the primary funding source for surface transportation. Proposals are due February 17, 2021 by 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Crashworthiness of Roadside Hardware on Curbed Roadways
February 18, 2021
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has issued a request for proposals to
(1) Determine the effects of curbs on the crashworthiness of selected selected roadside safety hardware (RSH) at various speeds, geometries, and offsets from the curb
(2) Develop guidelines for the use of RSH in combination with curb
(3) Prepare the guidelines for incorporation into a future update of the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide
(4) Provide recommendations for any additional crash testing requirements that should be made to MASH on RSH installed in combination with curb
Proposals are due February 18, 2021 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Alternative Methods to Manage Tree Growth Near Airports
February 24, 2021
TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has issued a request for proposals to create a guidebook that (1) identifies and evaluates alternative methods for obstruction related data collection and analysis, and (2) includes strategies that effectively monitor and manage tree growth in and around airports. The guidebook should be applicable to different types, locations, and sizes of airports. Proposals are due February 24, 2021 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Design Guide and Standards for Infrastructure Resilience
February 24, 2021
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has issued a request for proposals to
(1) briefly summarize how extreme weather events, long-term climate changes, and climate resilience impact transportation project delivery, infrastructure life-cycles, and asset management practices
(2) identify current and projected future climate variables to be considered during the design of transportation projects to increase resilience
(3) develop recommendations for updating design processes that include consideration of extreme weather events and increase resilience to climate impacts
(4) develop a project delivery climate change resilience design guide.

Proposals are due February 24, 2021.

Propose New Topics for the 2021 TCRP Synthesis Program: Submissions due March 19
March 19, 2021
TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) is seeking potential synthesis study topics for the 2021 TCRP Synthesis Program.

TCRP will fund seven (7) new synthesis topics. Anyone may propose topics.

A synthesis study documents current practice and experience for specific public transportation topics.  The following factors are considered in the selection process for new topics.
  • The objective of the scope of work is to document current practices in public transportation and/or public transit agencies
  • The synthesis documents current practice, not best practice; it is not a research project or a guidebook
  • The topic addresses an area of practice that is widespread and of general interest to public transit and/ or public transportation
  • The topic should be timely and critical for expediting delivery, improving the quality, or lowering the cost of programs
A newSynthesis Topic Outline offers guidance in creating a topic. Topics must be submitted through the TCRP Synthesis Topic Submission Portal by March 19, 2021.

For questions, please contact Mariela Garcia-Colberg at mgarciacolberg@nas.edu.
