This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) document issued by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for Innovative Mobility Program (IMP) Scoping Services in Marion County and the City of Salem. The scoping services involve hiring a consultant to lead the design and planning process for a new initiative aimed at improving public transportation access, reducing vehicle trips, and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. The project requires the consultant to demonstrate expertise in designing and managing large competitive grant processes, incorporating equity perspectives, developing community engagement strategies for historically excluded groups, and supporting organizational improvement and change management. Proposers must submit a technical proposal, price proposal, and supporting attachments for evaluation. The original proposal due date was extended to February 3, 2023, with the contract term anticipated to be one year from the effective date. The evaluation criteria prioritize key staff experience, work samples, project approach, and key performance measures.

The estimated total bid amount for the project is $28,050.00, with compensation structured through fixed price, time and materials, and price per unit methods, with progress payments made based on the percentage of services completed. The RFP includes a 12% Certified Small Business Aspirational Target for state-funded work exceeding $100,000, though no specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal was assigned. The Innovative Mobility Program has a total budget of $20 million allocated for grants, contracts, and program administration spanning 2022-2025. Minimum qualifications require substantial experience in grant process design, equity-focused project implementation, and community engagement strategies. Ontiveros and Associates, LLC was identified as the top-ranked firm for award, with negotiations to be conducted by ODOT's Project Manager, Dorian Pacheco. The contract allows for potential additional rounds of competition if determined in the best interest of the State.
