0-5 ADOT Attachment 5.pdf

This is a Request for Proposal attachment document for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) seeking On Call Transit Consultant Services under 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. The contracted services will be delivered on an as-needed basis through individual task assignments over a twelve-month initial contract term with the potential to extend up to forty-eight months total. Proposals are due by September 10, 2025. The solicitation 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 across Arizona.

Contractors will be reimbursed based on hourly rates for actual work performed, with each task assignment detailing specific scopes of work, expected deliverables, and performance metrics. The contract is funded through federal transit programs including FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305. A 0.00% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) contract goal has been established, though DBE participation is encouraged. Eligible respondents include federally recognized tribal agencies, councils of governments, metropolitan planning organizations, non-profits, local governments, and transit authorities. The procurement approach allows ADOT significant flexibility in accessing specialized transit consulting services as needed throughout the contract period, with task-specific assignments determining the precise scope and financial parameters of individual consulting engagements.
