1. PROPOSAL CONTENTS AND REQUIREMENTS

A. Staff Qualifications

Identify the key personnel and staff, including subconsultants, if any, who will be directly engaged in the performance of the work under the Agreement; and outline the Proposer’s team’s capacity to successfully perform the desired services and include an organization chart showing the proposed team composition. Provide resumes for the proposed Project Manager and other key personnel demonstrating their qualifications, relevant project experience, certifications/licenses, and roles on the proposed team.

B. Company Qualifications & Approach to Scope of Services

Each Proposer must complete Proposal Cover Form (Form 1) and provide information about its company so that LAVTA can evaluate the firm’s stability and ability to support the commitments set forth in response to the RFP.

Proposers must describe their experience in providing the specified services for similar operations and/or entities, including public transportation agencies, if any (refer to Appendix A). Additionally, Proposers must provide a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) references of clients for whom, within the past five (5) years, the Proposer has provided similar services as those called for in this RFP. For each submitted Reference Form (Form 2), Proposers must supply a brief description of the services provided, the timeframe the services were provided, and current client contact information.

If the Proposer is a joint venture partner, an executed copy of the Joint Venture Agreement must be included with the proposal. The organizational arrangement and specific areas of responsibility (including administrative, technical, and financial) for each member of the joint venture must be outlined.

C. Use of Subconsultants

A Consultant intending to use any subconsultants to perform the Services must do so in accordance with the requirements of this RFP. Any and all subconsultants must be listed on the Prime Contractor/Consultant and Subcontractor/Subconsultant/Supplier Report (Form 4), submitted with the proposal and approved by LAVTA prior to contract award.

SHORT-RANGE TRANSIT PLANNING SERVICES PAGE 2 OF 21

SEPTEMBER 2026

27007782.2

It is the Proposers' responsibility to monitor Bonfire on a regular basis. Only signed Addenda, issued by LAVTA’s authorized personnel, are binding. Proposers are required to acknowledge receipt of all Addenda, if any, during the submission of their proposals.

All Addenda issued must become part of the RFP. Proposers must acknowledge the receipt of each individual addendum in their proposals on the Proposal Cover Form, (Form 1). Proposer’s failure to acknowledge in its proposal receipt of Addenda may, at LAVTA’s sole option, cause the proposal to be rejected.

E. Conflicts of Interest

By submitting a proposal, the Proposer represents and warrants that no director, officer or employee of LAVTA is in any manner interested directly or indirectly in the proposal or in the Agreement that may be made under it or in any expected profits to arise therefrom, as set forth in Article 4, Division 4, Title I (commencing with Sec. 1090) of the Government Code of the State of California. The Proposer warrants and represents that it presently has no financial interest and agrees that it will not acquire any financial interest which would present a conflict of interest under California Government Code Sections 1090 et seq. or Sections 87100 et seq. during the performance of services under the Agreement. The Proposer further covenants that it will not knowingly employ any person having such an interest in the performance of the Agreement. Violation of this provision may result in the Agreement being deemed void and unenforceable.

2. EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS AND SELECTION PROCESS

LAVTA intends to award a contract to the highest ranked, most qualified, responsible Proposer that submits a responsive proposal for provision of the Services. LAVTA reserves the right to request additional information and clarifications during the evaluation and selection process from any or all Proposers regarding their proposals.

A. Selection Committee

A Selection Committee (Committee), which will include members of LAVTA's staff and possibly one or more outside experts, will review and rank the proposals submitted. The Committee's evaluation for all steps of the evaluation process will comprise the official record for the proposal evaluation process; individual evaluation records will not be available for public inspection at any point during or after the evaluation process. By submitting a proposal, Proposers agree to be bound by these terms and will not later challenge said terms.

B. Proposal Evaluation Process

The Proposers' proposal will be evaluated utilizing the criteria identified below. In ranking proposals, LAVTA will consider the proposal material submitted, oral interviews (if any are held) and any other relevant information about a given Proposer(s) (i.e.

SHORT-RANGE TRANSIT PLANNING SERVICES PAGE 3 OF 21

D. Revised Proposals, Interviews and Negotiations

Following the initial review and screening of proposals, one or more Proposers may be invited to participate in the next step of the selection process.

LAVTA reserves the right to negotiate with any individual(s) or qualified firm(s), to request revised proposals, to visit the Proposer(s)' site(s), to interview or not, or to request best and final offers (BAFOs), if it is in the best interest of LAVTA to do so.

During this step, the Committee will evaluate Financial Statements and Audit Reports submitted by Proposers in the competitive range. Upon completion of this step in the selection process, the Committee will re-rank the firms remaining in the competitive range, in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth above.

LAVTA also reserves the right to further reduce the competitive range at any time during this step of the evaluation and selection process and LAVTA may hold simultaneous discussions with those proposers that remain in the competitive range. Proposers who are no longer in the competitive range, and will therefore not continue to the final step of the selection and evaluation process, will be notified as soon as it is practicable.

LAVTA may accept the proposal, or may negotiate with the highest-ranked firms, the terms and conditions of the Agreement and/or the firms’ cost proposal including, but not limited to, the proposed hourly labor rates, overhead rates, profit fees, and/or billing rates as applicable. At this time, LAVTA may elect to request revised and/or best and final offers (BAFOs) from all of the firms remaining in the competitive range. At its sole discretion, LAVTA may also reject all proposals. LAVTA also may award an Agreement without conducting interviews or negotiations.

LAVTA reserves the right to modify or cancel the procurement in whole or in part, at its sole discretion, at any time before the Agreement is fully executed and approved on behalf of LAVTA. This RFP does not commit LAVTA to award an Agreement, to pay any costs incurred in the preparation of the proposal for this request, or to procure or contract for services. LAVTA reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, to accept the proposal it considers most favorable to LAVTA’s interest in its sole discretion, and to waive irregularities or informalities in any proposal or in the proposal procedures.

SHORT-RANGE TRANSIT PLANNING SERVICES PAGE 5 OF 21

SEPTEMBER 2026

If there is any evidence indicating that two or more Proposers are in collusion to restrict competition or are otherwise engaged in anti-competitive practices, the proposals of all such Proposers must be rejected, and such evidence may be a cause for disqualification of the participants in any future solicitations undertaken by LAVTA.

3. CONFIDENTIALITY

A. Confidentiality and Waiver of Claims

1. The California Public Records Act (Cal. Govt. Code Sections 7920.000 et seq.)

(CPRA) mandates public access to government records. Therefore, unless the information is exempt from disclosure by law, the content of the proposal, as well as any other written communication between LAVTA and the Proposer, is a public record that must be made available to the public.

2. If the Proposer believes any communication contains information exempt from disclosure under the CPRA, including trade secrets or other proprietary information that the Proposer believes would cause substantial injury to the Proposer’s competitive position if disclosed, the Proposer must request that LAVTA withhold from disclosure the exempt information by submitting:

a) an unredacted copy of the proposal marking each page containing such exempt information as confidential; and

b) a redacted copy of the proposal that redacts the purportedly exempt information; and

c) a separate "confidentiality index" including all of the following information:

(1) The section and page number of the proposal where the information is located; and

(2) An explanation of why the information is exempt from disclosure under the

CPRA.

3. By submitting a proposal, Proposer:

a) consents to the release of the redacted version of the proposal; and

b) consents to the release of any portion of its proposal not included in the confidentiality index; and

c) waives all claims against LAVTA, its directors, officers, employees and agents, for the disclosure of such information.

4. If the Proposer does not include a confidentiality index in its proposal, LAVTA will have no obligation to withhold any information from disclosure and may release the information sought without liability to LAVTA.

5. In the event of conflicts between the redacted version, the confidentiality index, and confidentiality designations in the body of the proposal, the redacted version prevails.

SHORT-RANGE TRANSIT PLANNING SERVICES PAGE 6 OF 21

6. A Proposer may not designate its entire proposal as confidential. LAVTA will not honor such designations and will disclose submittals so designated to the public without liability to LAVTA.

4. WAIVER

By submitting a proposal, the Proposer represents and warrants that it has sufficiently informed itself in all matters affecting the performance of the work or the furnishing of the labor, supplies, material, or equipment called for in the Agreement; that the prices stated in its proposal are correct and as intended by it and are a complete and correct statement of its prices for performing the work or furnishing the labor, supplies, materials, or equipment required by the Agreement.

5. CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS

A. Agreement for Services

The selected Proposer for the provision of the Services will be required to execute an Agreement with LAVTA describing the Scope of Services to be performed, compensation, insurance requirements and other pertinent provisions. Submittal of a proposal must be deemed acceptance of all of the terms set forth in this RFP and the Sample Agreement unless the Proposer(s) includes with its proposal, in writing, any modifications requested to the RFP and/or Sample Agreement as set forth on the Exception Form (Form 3). No exceptions may be requested after the deadline for the submittal of proposals.

B. Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Program

LAVTA is committed to and has adopted a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program to ensure non-discrimination in the award and administration of all contracts and to create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly for contracts and subcontracts relating to construction, procurement, and professional services activities.

A copy of the DBE Program is incorporated into this contract and available [on the Authority's website at the following page: https://www.wheelsbus.com/doing-business/.

On October 3, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) issued an Interim Final Rule amending Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 26, Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs (Interim Final Rule). As a result of the Interim Final Rule, LAVTA has placed a moratorium on some of the DBE requirements associated with this solicitation and resulting agreement.

In connection with the performance of this contract, the Consultant will cooperate in meeting these commitments and objectives.

SHORT-RANGE TRANSIT PLANNING SERVICES PAGE 7 OF 21

SEPTEMBER 2026

27007782.2

Pursuant to 49 CFR §26.13, and as a material term of any Agreement with LAVTA, the Consultant hereby makes the following assurance and agrees to include this assurance in any Agreements it makes with subconsultants in the performance of this contract:

“The Consultant or subconsultant must not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract.

The Consultant must carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of U.S. DOT-assisted contracts.

Failure by the Consultant or subconsultant to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as LAVTA deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to: (1) Withholding monthly progress payments; (2) Assessing sanctions; (3) Liquidated damages; and/or (4) Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non-responsible.”

LAVTA implements its DBE Program in accordance with DOT regulations, and no contract-specific DBE participation goal has been established for this contract.

However, Proposers must cooperate with LAVTA in meeting its commitments and objectives with regard to ensuring nondiscrimination in the award and administration of contracts and must use their best efforts to ensure that barriers to DBE’s participation do not exist.

Proposers must complete, sign, and submit with their proposal the Prime Contractor/Consultant and Subcontractor/Subconsultant/Supplier Report (Form 4).

C. Insurance and Indemnification Requirements

Proposers are instructed to carefully review the insurance and indemnification provisions set forth in the Insurance Requirements (Appendix C) and Sample Agreement (Appendix B) and provide evidence of Proposer’s acceptance and ability to comply.

Proposers shall submit evidence of ability to provide insurance and meet the stated insurance requirements of LAVTA. Said evidence shall take the form of a current Certificate of Liability Insurance (COLI) or a letter from Proposer’s insurance agent or broker certifying that such insurance requirements can be obtained. If the certificate does not cover the requirements as specified in the Insurance Requirements (Appendix C), verification of availability of required insurance must otherwise be provided.

D. Federal Requirements

This RFP is subject to financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration. Please refer to Federal Transit Administration Clauses (Appendix D).

SHORT-RANGE TRANSIT PLANNING SERVICES PAGE 8 OF 21

E. Audit Requirements

The Consultant's proposed rates and costs will be subject to audit in accordance with Federal Cost Principals (Title 48, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 31) and/or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Consultant(s) must cooperate with LAVTA and its audit firm. After any audit recommendations are received by LAVTA, the proposed rates and costs must be adjusted by Consultant and approved by LAVTA, to conform to the audit recommendations. Consultant agrees that individual items of cost may be incorporated into the Consultant’s Agreement at LAVTA’s sole discretion to conform to the audit recommendations. Refusal by Consultant to incorporate audit recommendations will be considered a breach of the Agreement and may, at LAVTA’s sole discretion, be considered cause for termination of the Agreement.

Proposer(s) may be required to submit recent audit reports (not older than 18 months) of any subconsultant’s direct and indirect rates prior to contract award, and must state whether rates are consistent with Federal Cost Principals (Title 48, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 31). Each audit must have been conducted by the Federal Government, a Certified Public Accountant, or Independent Auditor. Proposer(s) must identify the audit source, contact name, phone number, and furnish copies of findings.

If a Proposer(s) provides fully-burdened rates for approval, for themselves or for a subconsultant, the rates must be accompanied by proof where another public agency has recently approved the quoted rate, or some other justification acceptable to LAVTA.

F. Ukraine/Russia Related Sanctions

As a public agency with contracts with state and federal departments and agencies, LAVTA is required to avoid transactions with any persons or entities subject to economic sanctions. For the purpose of this section, “Economic Sanctions” are defined as those imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law. By submitting a proposal, Consultant represents that it is not a target of Economic Sanctions. Should LAVTA determine Consultant is a target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for rejection of the Consultant's proposal any time prior to contract execution, or, if determined after contract execution, shall be grounds for termination by LAVTA.
