This document is an Addenda Acknowledgement Form for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Transit-General Consulting Services RFP No. BD-26-1030-0T100-0T100-120150. The RFP seeks professional consulting services through a solicitation for on-call, task order-based consulting support across various transit program areas, with an initial five-year contract duration and potential for five one-year renewals, totaling a maximum of ten years. The anticipated contract start date is December 15, 2025, with proposal responses due by October 20, 2025. Selected consultants will provide technical assistance, strategic planning, project management, mobility management, data collection, procurement support, compliance assistance, and new technology implementation for transit agencies across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The contract will be structured as a rate-based agreement with compensation determined by fully loaded hourly billing rates for proposed staff titles. A Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal of 11% of the total adjusted contract ceiling price is specified. The procurement will follow Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) methodology, prioritizing demonstrated competence and qualifications over pricing. Bidders must submit detailed rate schedules, comprehensive documentation of DBE involvement, including a Schedule of Participation form and Letters of Intent from certified DBE firms, hourly rate forms, non-collusion affidavits, and tax documentation. While the exact contract value is not explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests a comprehensive and potentially significant financial scope for the selected consulting services.
