Brasco_Shelter_Schematics_2021.pdf

This file contains schematics for transit passenger shelters related to a procurement solicitation issued by the Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA) in Ohio. The procurement seeks bids for the purchase and delivery of forty new transit passenger shelters and an inventory of replacement parts to support maintenance and repair operations throughout TARTA's service area in Lucas County, Ohio. The new shelters will replace the agency's current bus shelter inventory, which exceeds fifty years in age. Bidders are required to submit manufacturer and material lists documenting where shelters and component parts are manufactured. Bids were due July 31, 2026. The project scope encompasses both the physical shelters and a replacement-parts inventory to ensure ongoing operational support across the transit system.

All proposals must include a signed Declaration of Non-Collusion certifying that pricing has been developed independently and that no agreements exist with competitors to restrain competitive bidding. Because the contract value exceeds $100,000, the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment and the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 apply, requiring all contractors and subcontractors to certify that no federal appropriated funds will be used to influence federal officials. Contractors using non-federal funds for lobbying activities must complete and submit Standard Form LLL. Failure to file required certifications subjects contractors to civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each failure or prohibited expenditure.
