Research for Years 2025 – 2029

The State of Vermont, Agency of Transportation, is seeking Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) to provide research and must be able to conform to 508 Standards. Research projects may be related to planning, design, construction, management, maintenance, and operations of highway, public transportation, and intermodal transportation systems. The selected researchers will be notified and the list will be uploaded to AOT’s Contract Administration website. The Qualified Researcher List (QRL) will be active for four years, and after four years, there will be another RFQ solicited. • The RFQ represents the first phase of AOT’s External Research Process. • The research program will complete scoring of the RFQs received based on the evaluation scoring criteria in this RFQ. • The QR will have an opportunity each Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) to conduct research for AOT through an open and competitive solicitation process. • AOT reserves the right to reopen the Request for Qualifications for additional researchers to apply.
