This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit file associated with the Arizona Department of Transportation's Request for Proposal for On Call Transit Consultant Services (Solicitation Number BPM007068). The procurement establishes 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. Proposals are due by September 10, 2025. The RFP is open to federally recognized tribal agencies, councils of governments, metropolitan planning organizations, non-profits, local governments, and transit authorities, with services supporting rural and small urban transit, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives across Arizona.

Reimbursement will be based on hourly rates for actual work performed, with task-specific assignments determining scope and financial parameters for individual consulting engagements. The procurement establishes a 0.00% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) contract goal, though DBE participation is encouraged. Funding is available through federal transit programs including FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305. No specific aggregate award value is stated in the solicitation; rather, ADOT intends to create a flexible consulting pool to address diverse transit needs throughout the contract period through individual task order assignments that will detail specific scopes of work, expected deliverables, and performance metrics.
