The RFP (solicitation number BPM007068) 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 extensions up to forty-eight months total. The procurement supports various transit-related activities for 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. Proposals are due by September 10, 2025.

Reimbursement will be structured through 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, although DBE participation is encouraged. The solicitation allows ADOT significant flexibility in accessing specialized transit consulting services as needed throughout the contract period, with individual task assignments determining the precise scope and financial parameters of each consulting engagement.
