FTA Certification and Res - On Call Transit Consultant Services

This document pertains to the Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT) Request for Proposal for On Call Transit Consultant Services, solicitation number BPM007068. ADOT is establishing 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 an initial twelve-month contract term with the potential for extension up to forty-eight months total. The proposal submission deadline is September 10, 2025. Services are designed to support a wide range of transit-related entities, with particular focus on rural and small urban transit services, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives across Arizona.

Reimbursement will be structured on hourly rates for actual work performed, with each task assignment specifying deliverables and performance metrics. The contract is funded through federal transit programs including FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305. ADOT has established 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 on-call contracting structure provides ADOT with flexibility to access specialized transit consulting services as needed throughout the contract period, with specific award values and financial parameters determined through individual task assignments rather than fixed contract amounts.
