Translate Home > About Metro > Partnerships and Unsolicited Proposals Partnerships and Unsolicited Proposals OEI implements an alternative approach through our Unsolicited Proposal Policy. We lay out goals – like those in the Vision 2028 plan – and ask the private, non-profit and academic sectors to get creative and offer Metro to meet LA County’s transportation needs. CoVID-19 Update Metro continues to evaluate Unsolicited Proposals, but due to the dynamic and uncertain nature of the crisis, and to aid prioritization, Metro has temporarily suspended its 90-day review period. As COVID-19 continues to impact Metro’s customers, ridership and budget, we are prioritizing innovations that reduce costs, are cost neutral, or generate revenue. Previously submitted Unsolicited Proposals are being addressed on a case by case basis. Similarly, implementation of any accepted proposals may vary based on level of priority. For inquiries related to current Unsolicited Proposals, please contact Nolan Borgman at borgmann@metro.net . Unsolicited Proposals The standard approach for executing projects at public agencies like Metro is for the agency to lay out design parameters and ask the private sector to submit plans to meet them. While this approach allows Metro to select the most qualified contractor or to receive the best price, it doesn’t always spur the innovation of doing things differently or doing different things. When Metro mobilizes business around its needs and goals, it’s able to leverage private sector perspectives and expertise, leading to co-developed, win-win solutions for Metro, its customers and businesses. The Unsolicited Proposal Policy delivers a range of beneficial outcomes not only for large capital transportation projects which improve mobility but also small station-based projects which improve customer experience. It also allows Metro to rollout promising ideas as pilots and proofs of concept before applying it to the entire system.

Public Private Partnerships Public-Private Partnerships (P3) can be a means to improve the delivery and performance of our planned capital projects. We’re interested in innovative methods that accelerate project financing, bring new skills and technical concepts to project design, delivery, and operation, and share the risks and rewards of the project delivery process. Have an idea to accelerate delivery of a Metro capital project or to manage assets in a more programmatic way? Submit your proposal through the Unsolicited Proposal process. Want to learn more about P3 development at Metro? Read our Public Private Partnerships Fact Sheet and P3 101 Presentation . Through project delivery innovations, we hope to see construction cost savings, congestion mitigation, faster achievement of environmental goals, and earlier completion of much needed transportation projects. Joint Development Metro also accepts Unsolicited Proposals for Joint Development on Metro owned land through the Policy. However, proposals for Joint Development are reviewed by the Joint Development Team. Proposals should be submitted by mail and well in advance of the proposer’s desired commencement of the project in order to allow Metro sufficient time to evaluate the proposal, publicize it, and negotiate a contract if the proposal is accepted. Proposers should anticipate at least six months before any negotiation can begin. Contact Us Unsolicited Proposals can be emailed toUnsolicitedProposals@metro.net Questions, input, or feedback?
