This is a price proposal form for Group 34 Fixed Route Bus Services submitted to the Regional Transportation District (RTD) in Denver, Colorado. The proposal covers a five-year contract period beginning January 10, 2026, with an initial three-year term followed by two optional one-year renewal periods. The proposer anticipates providing fixed route bus services across the Denver metropolitan area, including routes in Boulder, Longmont, and surrounding communities. The service projection includes 165,060 revenue hours in Year 1, increasing incrementally to 189,382 hours in Year 5, with a total of 890,367 revenue hours across the entire five-year period. Associated mileage is projected at 2,467,053 miles in Year 1, escalating to 2,830,603 miles in Year 5, totaling 13,307,452 miles over the contract term. The proposal submission deadline was June 17, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. local time, with an anticipated contract award by July 28, 2025.

The price proposal form breaks down costs by weekday, Saturday, and Sunday operations across all five contract years, with hourly and mileage-based pricing structures. The proposer indicated zero start-up costs across all five monthly periods and zero total five-year operating costs on this form, suggesting that detailed cost calculations were submitted elsewhere in the comprehensive proposal package. The procurement includes a 5% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal to encourage minority business involvement. Fuel and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) expenses are reimbursed separately outside the base contract pricing. The pricing structure allows for detailed expense breakdowns including supervisory and staff wages, maintenance costs, facility expenses, and insurance, with a mile multiplier of 1.01 applied to account for training and other non-revenue miles.
