This is an organizational chart document for Discipline 5: Strategic Planning Team related to the Arizona Department of Transportation's On Call Transit Consultant Services procurement (Solicitation BPM007068). The chart identifies Ravi Ambadipudi as the Point of Contact and Key Person for the Strategic Planning Team discipline, which represents one of six primary service categories within the multi-contract consulting procurement. The RFP seeks qualified consultants to provide on-call transit consulting services on an as-needed basis through individual task assignments. Proposals are due by September 10, 2025, with contract performance expected to commence over an initial twelve-month term, with potential extension up to forty-eight months total. The Strategic Planning discipline will support ADOT's diverse transit needs across Arizona, including rural and small urban transit services, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives.

Reimbursement under the contract will be based on hourly rates for actual work performed, with task assignments detailing specific scopes of work, deliverables, and performance metrics. The procurement 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 multi-contract approach provides ADOT significant flexibility in accessing specialized transit consulting services as needed throughout the contract period without predetermined maximum award values.
