x-Discipline 5 - Not Proposed_1.pdf

This is a proposal document from KFH Group, Inc. indicating that Discipline 5: Strategic Planning was not proposed for the Arizona Department of Transportation's On Call Transit Consultant Services procurement (Solicitation BPM007068). The RFP seeks to establish multiple on-call 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. Contractors will provide services on an as-needed basis through individual task assignments over an initial twelve-month contract term with potential extension up to forty-eight months total. The proposal deadline is September 10, 2025, and the contract will support various transit-related activities including rural and small urban transit services, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives.

Compensation will be structured through hourly rate reimbursement for actual work performed, with task-specific assignments defining the precise scope and financial parameters of individual consulting engagements. The contract is funded through federal transit programs including FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305. ADOT has established 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 provides ADOT significant flexibility in accessing specialized transit consulting services throughout the contract period.
