About this file

This is an Interoffice Memo from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) dated January 11, 2026, documenting the procurement plan for RFP 250131 regarding Los Angeles 2028 Olympics Planning. The RFP seeks qualified consultants to develop Olympic-related foundational strategy and planning for transit services in preparation for the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. The procurement is structured as a Request for Proposals rather than an Invitation for Bids, as the selection requires evaluation criteria beyond price. The contract term is twenty (20) months with no renewal options indicated.

The contract is structured as a time-and-expense agreement with a total budget of $950,000, selected because firms will propose fully-burdened hourly rates and anticipated expenses rather than fixed prices due to the absence of a detailed Scope of Work. The evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: Qualifications of the Firm (20%), Staffing/Project Organization (25%), Work Plan (30%), and Cost (25%). The contract includes prevailing wage requirements and liquidated damages provisions. Funding sources include Local Measure M, STGB, STIP, and PPM, with a note that Federal Transit Administration funding may be applied during the agreement term. The evaluation team consists of five members: four internal evaluators from OCTA (Gina Torres, Charles Main, Greg Nord, Matt Ankley, and Laura Gillette) and one external evaluator (Rafael Cobian from the City of Anaheim). An independent cost estimate has been received, and requisition number R000889 has been assigned. A DBE goal applies to this procurement.

INTEROFFICE MEMO

Date: January 11, 2026

To: Charles Main, Section Manager III, Transit Service Planning

From: Gina Torres, Senior Contract Administrator, CAMM

Subject: Procurement Schedule for Release, Selection and Award RFP 250131 "Los Angeles 2028 Olympics Planning"

Please review the procurement plan for the subject RFP and advise your concurrence with the evaluation criteria and contract elements. Include suggested evaluation team members and/or comments.

Procurement Type: RFP IFB

Justification (explain the rationale for using the particular procurement type):

A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued as the nature of the procurement demands that evaluation criteria, in addition to price, be used to select a firm to provide Olympic-related foundational strategy and planning transit services.

Evaluation Criteria:

PROPOSAL WEIGHT

Qualifications of the Firm 20%

Staffing/Project Organization 25%

Work Plan 30%

Cost 25%

Justification: The standard 25 percent for each criterion was not used in this procurement. Several factors were considered in developing the weights.

Qualifications of the firm is weighted at 20 percent to ensure the firm has prior experience providing transportation services. Staffing and project organization is weighted at 25 percent to ensure the proposed staff have expertise in completing the work required. Staff proposed assigning the greatest importance to work plan as the firm must demonstrate its approach to planning, strategizing, and implementing Olympic-related transit services. Cost is weighted at 25 percent to ensure OCTA receives the best value for the service provided.

Contract Type: Time & Expense CTO-Based Firm Fixed Price

Justification (Explain the rationale for using the particular contract type): The contract type is time-and-expense because firms are requested to propose fully-burdened hourly rates and anticipated expenses for the work specified in the Scope of Work. The RFP does not have a specific Scope of Work detailing individual tasks.

Therefore, a firm-fixed price contract cannot be used.
