Unsolicited Proposal & RFP In February 2013, RTD received an unsolicited proposal from Graham Contracting for the North Metro Rail Line Project.

Alternative Technical Concepts RTD encourages Proposers to submit concepts that incorporate innovation, flexibility and cost savings into the North Metro Project. ATCs require deviation from the technical requirements, but do not alter the minimum span of service, the service headways, or the ridership capacity. Each ATC that is approved for a Proposer may be included in that Team’s Proposal. The basis of the proposals will be different, based on the approved ATCs that each has included.
