Appendix A - Pricing Proposal.xlsx

This is a pricing proposal document for the City of Wausau and the Wausau Area Transit System (WATS) in Wisconsin seeking proposals to complete a facilities condition assessment and feasibility study. The project evaluates whether the existing transit garage at 420 Plumer Street can support future operational needs and be modernized to accommodate a battery-electric fleet serving 25 full-sized buses, 5 paratransit buses, and administrative staff. The scope includes analysis of the existing facility, survey of alternate sites, and evaluation of environmental and practical factors such as electrical infrastructure availability. The contract is a firm-fixed price agreement for a base period of 11 months, running from February 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, with no option years. Questions regarding the bid must be submitted by December 19, 2025, to Ron Schuenke, Transit Director at 715-261-6565 or Ronald.Schuenke@wausauwi.gov.

The pricing proposal requires vendors to submit a single firm-fixed price for the full scope of services as a deliverable, inclusive of all labor, travel, administrative, and overhead costs. Proposers are instructed not to alter the estimated number of hours (550 hours) and must complete the pricing sheet as designed without including escalators, CPI adjustments, or pricing beyond the 11-month contract term. The agency does not guarantee to purchase any specific quantity or pay a minimum contract price, and proposals requiring minimum orders will be disqualified. Vendors must sign and date the pricing proposal and provide an authorized preparer signature with date, title, role, and company name.
