This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit document required by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for the On Call Transit Consultant Services solicitation (BPM007068). The affidavit must be notarized and submitted as part of the proposal response to the Request for Proposal. Proposals are due by September 10, 2025. The procurement seeks to establish multiple on-call 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. The RFP targets eligible respondents including 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 task-specific assignments detailing scope, 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 flexibility in accessing specialized transit consulting services to support diverse transit needs across Arizona, with particular focus on rural and small urban transit services, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives. The non-collusion affidavit certifies that the bidder has not engaged in any collusive practices in preparing the proposal.
