0-3 ADOT Attachment 3.pdf

This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) attachment from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for On Call Transit Consultant Services (Solicitation Number BPM007068). ADOT seeks to establish multiple contracts for multimodal transit consulting services across six primary disciplines: Transit Planning Studies, Transit Planning Tasks, Transit Operations Planning, Transit Operations Tasks, Strategic Planning, and Coordination and Mobility Management Projects. Contractors will provide services on an as-needed basis through individual task assignments over a twelve-month initial contract term with potential extension up to forty-eight months total. Proposals are due by September 10, 2025. The contract supports a wide range of transit-related entities, particularly focusing on rural and small urban transit services, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives. Eligible respondents include federally recognized tribal agencies, councils of governments, metropolitan planning organizations, non-profits, local governments, and transit authorities.

Reimbursement will be based on hourly rates for actual work performed, with each task assignment detailing specific scopes of work, expected deliverables, and performance metrics. The solicitation establishes a 0.00% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) contract goal, though DBE participation is encouraged. Funding will be provided through federal transit programs including FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305. The procurement approach allows ADOT significant flexibility in accessing specialized transit consulting services as needed throughout the contract period, with specific award values and financial parameters to be determined through individual task assignments rather than a single fixed contract amount.
