Cincinnati Streetcars - Development Partners

Cincinnati Streetcar Development Partners, a consortium of 12 companies, has been chosen to serve as the Project Manager for the city's streetcar system. They will perform the Design, Build, Operate, Maintain (“DBOM”) function and work with the city on the operating and financing plans including securing federal funding, and be an on-the-ground presence over the next several years.

“The Administration has been doing much work behind the scenes to determine the feasibility of streetcars in Cincinnati,” said Milton Dohoney, Jr.  “Our conclusion is that streetcars can be built in Cincinnati and should be built in Cincinnati.  The benefits of streetcars as a game changing agent for this city far outweigh any negatives.”

The Administration let out a Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) looking for a partnering organization that could perform as project manager.  The Administration never intended that the City would be the builder and/or operator of the line.  The plan always was to tap into the expertise from the international marketplace to find someone to serve as the Project Manager.

“What encouraged us about the project is that several of the responding firms had both national and international experience,” said Dohoney. “We have digested information on where the streetcars will be made, community engagement, SBE participation, the design process, and developing the financing plan and operating plan. We are pleased to have chosen Cincinnati Streetcar Development Partners.”

“We are excited to have been chosen to lead the streetcar project,” said Fred Craig, Program Manager for Streetcar Development Partners. “Our long-term relationship with the city on its major projects is a source of great pride for the Cincinnati Streetcar Development Partners.  We are honored to have the city place its confidence in us once again.”
