6-Exhibit B – Revised Cost Proposal Form.xlsx

This is a revised cost proposal form for the ADA Paratransit Operations and Maintenance and Related Services procurement administered by the Central Contra Costa Transit Authority (County Connection) in collaboration with the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) in California. The solicitation requests comprehensive paratransit services including ADA complementary paratransit, non-ADA paratransit, reservations, scheduling, dispatch, customer service, and technology-enabled service delivery across the combined service areas of both agencies. County Connection has provided these services since 1990 through its LINK program and currently manages paratransit operations for County Connection, BART within central Contra Costa County, and LAVTA's Wheels Dial-A-Ride program. The current contract with Transdev expires June 30, 2027, with the successful proposer required to assume all services effective July 1, 2027.

The cost proposal form is designed to capture detailed pricing information from qualified bidders competing for this regional paratransit operations contract. Proposers must demonstrate expertise in paratransit cost analysis, operational efficiency, and innovative mobility solutions while addressing key objectives including technology affordability and user-friendliness, increased shared-ride efficiencies, expanded service availability, flexible cancellation and rebooking options, self-service trip management tools, reduced regional transfer wait times, and decreased deadhead and unproductive mileage. The procurement builds upon a successful regional pilot program in which County Connection extended its in-house and contracted paratransit resources to serve both agencies under a coordinated operating model, with service policy development and performance evaluation shared between both transit authorities.
