The offeror certifies that the submission did not involve collusion or other anticompetitive practices.

The contract will be funded through federal transit programs including FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305, with reimbursement to be completed through hourly rate structures established in the contractor's proposal, with task-specific assignments determining the precise scope and financial parameters of individual consulting engagements. 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. The procurement approach allows ADOT flexibility in accessing specialized transit consulting services as needed throughout the contract period, with the contractor cautioned not to commence any billable work until receiving a formal purchase order document.
