About this file
This document is a proposal submission for On-Call Transit Consultant Services submitted to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) in response to Solicitation No. BPM007068. The proposal profiles Chris Joannes, AICP, a Project Manager with Kimley-Horn who brings 14 years of transportation planning experience, including 7 years with the consulting firm. Joannes holds a Master's degree in Geographic Information Systems and a Bachelor's degree in Urban Planning from Arizona State University and is a credentialed American Institute of Certified Planners member. The RFP establishes multiple contracts for multimodal transit consulting services across six primary disciplines: Transit Planning Studies, Transit Planning Tasks, Transit Operations Planning, Transit Operations Tasks, Strategic Planning, and Coordination and Mobility Management Projects. Work will be performed on an as-needed basis through individual task assignments over a twelve-month initial contract term with potential extension up to forty-eight months total. The proposal deadline was September 10, 2025. Joannes's relevant experience includes project management roles on numerous transit planning initiatives across Arizona, including work with ADOT's On-Call Transit Consulting Services, the Sun Corridor Metropolitan Planning Organization, and various Arizona municipalities and regional planning organizations on transit development plans, route optimization studies, and long-range transportation plans.
The contract will be reimbursed based on hourly rates for actual work performed, with each task assignment detailing specific scopes of work, expected deliverables, and performance metrics. Funding will be provided through federal transit programs including FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305. The solicitation establishes a 0.00% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) contract goal, though DBE participation is encouraged. Eligible respondents include federally recognized tribal agencies, councils of governments, metropolitan planning organizations, non-profits, local governments, and transit authorities. The procurement approach is designed to support a wide range of transit-related entities, with particular focus on rural and small urban transit services, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives across Arizona. Kimley-Horn emphasizes its commitment to quality control and quality assurance standards maintained since its founding in 1967, with quality standards integrated into employee orientation, annual reviews, and ongoing training programs.

CHRIS JOANNES, AICP
PROJECT MANAGER
14 years of experience • 7 years with Kimley-Horn
Chris brings 14 years of transportation planning experience with a strong focus on multimodal transportation planning and public engagement. His expertise spans corridor studies, master plans, statewide and area modal plans, and demographic and equity analysis, making him a versatile asset for the Arizona Department of Transportation’s (ADOT’s) diverse planning needs. His proven track record of working with various levels of government, from municipalities to state agencies, positions him well to navigate the complex stakeholder landscape of ADOT’s projects. His expertise in creating community-oriented plans with an emphasis on consensus building will be crucial for developing implementable recommendations that seamlessly transition from planning to engineering and construction phases. Chris’s geographic information systems (GIS) skills, travel demand modeling, and quantitative alternatives analysis will provide ADOT with data-driven insights to support decision-making across various planning scales. His approach to creating clear, approachable public-facing deliverables aligns with ADOT’s need for effective communication of planning initiatives to diverse audiences across the state, ensuring that plans are both technically sound and publicly accessible. The culmination of Chris’s experience will also provide valuable insight on how to deliver ADOT projects within scope, budget, and schedule.
Chris is also well versed in Kimley-Horn’s quality control processes. He models our firm’s understanding that quality projects do not just happen by accident—they are born from a culture committed to quality since 1967. Quality standards are a major subject of each person’s orientation, annual review, and ongoing training program. ADOT can rest assured that quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) means much more to us than a cursory review.
