This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) attachment document for On Call Transit Consultant Services issued by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) 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. Contractors will provide services on an as-needed basis through individual task assignments, with work performed over an initial twelve-month contract term that may extend up to forty-eight months total. Proposals are due by September 10, 2025. The procurement is structured to support diverse transit-related entities, with particular focus on rural and small urban transit services, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives. The contract term allows ADOT significant flexibility in accessing specialized transit consulting services throughout the contract period.

Reimbursement will be based on hourly rates for actual work performed, with each task assignment detailing specific scopes of work, expected deliverables, and performance metrics. Funding will be provided through federal transit programs including FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305. The solicitation establishes a 0.00% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) contract goal, 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. Specific award values are not explicitly stated; however, the multi-contract approach indicates ADOT intends to create a flexible, comprehensive consulting pool to address diverse transit needs across Arizona.
