Amendment 1 is a solicitation amendment for the Waupaca County Shared Ride Transit Service RFP (Solicitation Number: 25-006-41), issued on 8/18/25. The amendment requires proposers to acknowledge receipt by signing and submitting the amendment with their proposal, specifically noting the removal of language related to BadgerCare Non-Emergency Medicaid Transportation requirements in Appendix P - Technology Platform Functionality Requirements. The original RFP seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive, outsourced coordinated shared-ride transit services within Waupaca County, with proposals due by August 25, 2025, at 4 PM CT. The anticipated contract award is September 26, 2025, with service commencing October 1, 2025, for an initial 15-month base period through December 31, 2026, and three potential one-year renewal options.

The procurement is funded through $1,637,500 in federal Section 5311 grant monies, covering up to 50% of operating costs. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed price per vehicle service hour, with potential annual pricing adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The county will lease vehicles to the contractor at $1 per vehicle annually, requiring a minimum fleet of 8 vehicles from 2017 or newer. The anticipated annual operating cost is approximately $793,440, with proposed fare structures ranging from $2.50 for in-zone trips to $7 for county-wide trips, including reduced rates for seniors and individuals with disabilities. The project includes Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation requirements and focuses on providing curb-to-curb and door-to-door transportation services initially for intercity rides in Waupaca County and intracity rides in the New London portion of the county.
