About this file

This is a procurement plan memorandum from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for RFP 250014, "Harbor Boulevard Transit Signal Priority Deployment." The project seeks qualified firms to deliver a technology-driven solution for transit signal priority deployment on Harbor Boulevard. The procurement utilizes a Request for Proposals format to allow evaluation of multiple criteria beyond price. The contract term is five-and-a-half years with a total dollar amount of $2,349,000 funded through State REAP 2.0 sources. The evaluation will be conducted by five internal evaluators from OCTA departments (Procurement, Transportation Modeling, Information Systems, and Transit Service Planning) and three external evaluators representing the cities of Santa Ana, Fullerton, and Anaheim. Requisition number R000462 has been received and an independent cost estimate has been obtained.

The evaluation criteria weights proposals as follows: Qualifications of the Firm (20%), Staffing/Project Organization (25%), Work Plan (30%), and Cost (25%). The contract is structured as firm-fixed-price with a specific Scope of Work detailing tasks and deliverables. The procurement plan includes provisions for 10% retention, prevailing wages, and liquidated damages, with documentation to be provided by the Project Manager. The project prioritizes the firm's demonstrated experience with transit signal priority systems, signal infrastructure needs, and performance measures of similar scope and scale, as well as the proposed technology solution's ability to manage a corridor with multiple stakeholders operating varying signal systems.
