Project Management Oversight (PMO) Services I

Provide project management oversight (PMO) support services for select capital projects under an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. FTA defines oversight as a continuous review and evaluation of grantee and FTA processes to ensure compliance with statutory, administrative, and regulatory requirements. The Office of Engineering, through the Regional Offices, performs oversight of grantee project management that focuses on the management of major investments (New Starts, rail modernization, etc.) in transit projects. This activity begins early in project implementation, usually at the time of preliminary engineering. PMO contractors monitor the large caseload of projects, following guidelines established by FTA. PMO contractors serve to supplement the FTA technical staff to evaluate grantee project management and technical capacity and capability to successfully implement these major transit projects. PMO contractors also monitor the projects to determine whether the projects are progressing on time, within budget, and in accordance with approved grantee plans and specifications.
