About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document from the City of Wisconsin regarding Request for Proposal 19PLA36 for Share-Ride Taxi Services. The service requested is a door-to-door, demand-responsive, advanced reservation, shared-ride taxi service available to the general public within a specified service area. The RFP requires proposers to accept ride requests via phone and maintain a minimum number of available drivers during specified service hours.
The City permits qualified contractors to utilize non-employee drivers, including 1099 independent contractors, provided all RFP requirements are met and administrative obligations are assumed by the proposer. Contracted drivers must undergo random drug testing and mandatory safety training. The proposer is responsible for tracking and accounting all cash payments to drivers and ensuring compliance with federal and state public transit requirements. Operating efficiency through flexible labor models using contractor drivers may reduce deadhead hours and vehicle requirements, thereby lowering overall service costs to the City.

19‐PLA36 Share‐Ride Taxi Services Questions and Answers #2
1. Is the City open to using non‐employee drivers where legal and appropriate? These drivers, for example, could be 1099 contractors that drive a designated fleet of branded vehicles, held exclusively for use by the City. Using contractor drivers allows for more flexibility in the labor model and a consequent scale up and down of vehicles to match demand throughout the day.
This operating efficiency generally reduces deadhead hours and vehicles required, reducing the cost to the City.
Answer: The City does not require that drivers are an employee of the proposer. However, the successful proposer must meet all requirements of this RFP, including the accepting of ride request via phone. The proposer must be willing to take on the administrative burden from federal and state public transit requirements. Contracted drivers must submit to random drug testing and must participate in driver trainings to ensure the safety of riders. Proposers must be able to track and account for any cash paid to its drivers and must ensure that there are a minimum number of contracted drivers available during the service hours listed in this RFP.
