The government authority located in Maryland seeks a vendor to provide a cloud-hosted, software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution designed for electronically managing the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). This platform should support agency-specific business processes and data requirements via configuration, with minimal need for code development. The solution should create an online, dynamic electronic STIP that utilizes advanced technology to modernize and streamline programming processes and workflows, including amendments and modifications to the STIP.

The system must enable a standardized submission process across modal administrations and offer a GIS map-based tool for public review of live STIP data. Integration with State and Federal financial systems to transfer or receive data is required, as well as automated project data validation for completeness and fiscal constraint. Additional features should include streamlined data communication between TIP and STIP systems, dashboards for tracking project status and approvals, and automated notifications for workflow actions and deadlines. The platform should also provide a public-facing web portal for viewing approved STIP data and support open APIs or data exchange compatible with databases, GIS, and financial systems.
