BidPulsar Analysis
A practical, capture-style breakdown of fit, requirements, risks, and next steps.
The Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council (SMTC) is seeking proposals for on-going, as-needed professional Travel Demand Modeling (TDM) and traffic analysis assistance. The work emphasizes four-step models built on a TransCAD 9 platform and corridor models built using Synchro 12, including training, model input development/modification, and interpretation/presentation of outputs. Proposals are due February 27, 2026 at 4:00 p.m., and the notice cites a 10.00% DBE goal. The RFP is available via SMTC’s website, with an additional attachment PDF link provided in the notice.
SMTC is looking for a flexible, expert consultant resource it can call on as needs arise to help staff use, maintain, and improve SMTC’s travel demand and corridor modeling toolsets (TransCAD 9 four-step and Synchro 12 corridor models), while also building internal capability through educational/training sessions and instruction on proper model utilization.
- Provide on-going, as-needed TDM and traffic analysis support to SMTC
- Deliver educational/training sessions on modeling tasks and proper utilization of SMTC’s models
- Create or modify model inputs for SMTC’s models (TransCAD 9 four-step; Synchro 12 corridor models)
- Interpret and present model outputs for SMTC stakeholders
- Perform model and interface enhancements and updates (as applicable to SMTC’s modeling environment)
- Provide instruction on the abilities and proper utilization of SMTC’s models
- Technical approach describing how you will provide on-going, as-needed TDM and traffic analysis support
- Specific experience narrative for TransCAD 9 four-step model development/operation
- Specific experience narrative for Synchro 12 corridor model development/operation
- Training plan (topics, format, and approach) for educational/training sessions and model utilization instruction
- Plan for model input creation/modification, output interpretation, and presentation support
- Approach for model/interface enhancements and updates (including how changes will be managed and documented)
- DBE participation plan demonstrating how the 10.00% DBE goal will be met
- Past performance references relevant to TDM and corridor modeling support
- Staffing plan identifying key personnel and their roles across TransCAD 9, Synchro 12, training, and stakeholder presentation

FAQ
How do I use the Market Snapshot?
It summarizes awarded-contract behavior for the opportunity’s NAICS and sector, including a recent pricing band (P10–P90), momentum, and composition. Use it as context, not a guarantee.
Is the data live?
The signal updates as new awarded notices enter the system. Always validate the official award and solicitation details on SAM.gov.
What do P10 and P90 mean?
P10 is the 10th percentile award size and P90 is the 90th percentile. Together they describe the typical spread of award values.
