What We Do:
Bluebird provides independent, objective advisory services to public agencies and investors engaged in complex infrastructure and transportation initiatives. Our team brings deep experience across the full project lifecycle — from strategy and planning through procurement, structuring, and close.
What We Do:
Service 1: Strategy & Capital Planning
Strategy & Capital Planning
We help agencies develop strategies to accelerate the delivery and benefits of critical infrastructure. This includes evaluating delivery options, assessing risk, aligning capital programs with budget realities, and identifying opportunities to improve schedule and performance. Our planning work gives clients a clear roadmap before major decisions are made.
Service 2: Procurement Advisory
Procurement Advisory
We guide clients through complex infrastructure procurements from start to finish — developing procurement strategies, drafting and evaluating RFQs and RFPs, managing procurement processes, and advising through commercial and financial close. We have experience across a wide range of procurement models for transit, transportation, and public infrastructure projects.
Service 3: Public-Private Partnerships (P3) & Alternative Delivery
Public-Private Partnerships (P3) & Alternative Delivery
We advise public agencies on whether and how to use alternative delivery models — including P3s, design-build, and performance-based contracting approaches. We help clients structure transactions, evaluate bids, negotiate terms, and reach financial and commercial close. Our advisors have direct experience on P3 transactions of varying size and complexity across the US and internationally.
Service 4: Financial Analysis & Structuring
Financial Analysis & Structuring
We support clients with investment appraisal, financial modeling, risk analysis, and financial structuring for major capital projects. Whether evaluating the financial viability of a project, comparing delivery options on a value-for-money basis, or structuring a transaction for market, we provide rigorous, independent financial analysis that informs sound decision-making.
Service 5: Transit-Oriented Development & Revenue Strategies
Transit-Oriented Development & Revenue Strategies
We help agencies explore and capture the value created by public infrastructure investment. This includes identifying transit-oriented development opportunities, structuring revenue-sharing frameworks, evaluating joint development agreements, and advising on value capture mechanisms that can improve a project's financial sustainability.
Service 6: Organizational Readiness
Organizational Readiness
New delivery strategies often require significant organizational change. We help agencies evaluate their internal business processes, staffing, and governance structures to determine readiness to implement P3s or other alternative delivery approaches — and develop recommendations to close any gaps before procurement begins.
