This is a Request for Proposal document issued by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for On Call Transit Consultant Services 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. The RFP is designed to support various transit-related activities for rural and small urban transit services, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives. Proposals are due by September 10, 2025. Eligible respondents include federally recognized tribal agencies, councils of governments, metropolitan planning organizations, non-profits, local governments, and transit authorities.

Compensation will be structured on hourly rates for actual work performed, with each task assignment detailing specific scopes of work, expected 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. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, ADOT's multi-contract approach indicates an intention to create a flexible, comprehensive consulting pool to address diverse transit needs across Arizona. This procurement structure allows ADOT significant flexibility in accessing specialized transit consulting services as needed throughout the contract period.
