As needs are identified, the Department will issue Task/Purchase Orders to the consultant which will authorize the consultant to provide services. The awarded Contractor will not be able to respond, as primary or sub, to any future solicitation for which it has any involvement developing or evaluating. This will be focused on the P3/Choice Lanes initiative made possible through the Transportation Modernization Act, passed earlier this year.
