The Transportation & Mobility agency of the City of Tucson is dedicated to enhancing urban mobility and maintaining safe, resilient public infrastructure. Its core mission centers on improving transportation networks through strategic infrastructure investment and landscape integration, with a focus on sustainable, community-centered mobility solutions. Key priorities include the rehabilitation and expansion of roadways, bridges, and bicycle corridors, alongside the upkeep of public green spaces to support livability and environmental stewardship. Programs such as bicycle boulevards and median landscaping reflect a dual commitment to multimodal transportation access and aesthetic urban enhancement, aligning with broader goals of equitable access and climate resilience.
The agency regularly procures construction and maintenance services for public right-of-way assets, primarily through competitive solicitation processes. Contracts are typically awarded under performance-based specifications, emphasizing durability, safety compliance, and long-term maintenance readiness. Procurements are structured to ensure accountability and service continuity, often involving multi-year maintenance agreements for ongoing operational needs.
Primary procurement activity is concentrated in Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (NAICS 237310) and Landscaping Services (NAICS 561730), reflecting a clear emphasis on civil infrastructure and public realm improvements. The agency does not utilize set-asides and engages vendors broadly across the construction and landscape services sectors, prioritizing technical capability, proven track record, and adherence to municipal specifications over demographic preferences. Vendor relationships are transactional and performance-driven, with a focus on deliverables tied to public safety and infrastructure longevity.
As a department within the City of Tucson, Transportation & Mobility operates within municipal boundaries, managing infrastructure across urban corridors, medians, and bicycle networks. It utilizes standard municipal procurement vehicles, including sealed bid and request for proposal processes, to acquire construction and maintenance services in alignment with state and local public works standards.
