0-8 Tax Liability.pdf

This document addresses tax liability requirements for the Arizona Department of Transportation's On Call Transit Consultant Services procurement (RFP BPM007068). The solicitation establishes 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. ADOT seeks qualified contractors to 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. Eligible respondents include federally recognized tribal agencies, councils of governments, metropolitan planning organizations, non-profits, local governments, and transit authorities. Proposals are due by September 10, 2025, and the contract will support various transit-related activities with deliverables and performance measures to be specified in individual task assignments.

Compensation will be structured through hourly rate reimbursement for actual work performed, with task-specific assignments determining precise scope and financial parameters for individual consulting engagements. The solicitation establishes a 0.00% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) contract goal, though DBE participation is encouraged. Funding derives from federal transit programs including FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305. The procurement approach provides ADOT significant flexibility in accessing specialized transit consulting services as needed throughout the contract period, with particular focus on supporting rural and small urban transit services, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives across Arizona.
