This file is a project staff biography document submitted as part of a proposal to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for On Call Transit Consulting Services under solicitation number BPM007068. The procurement 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. Contractors will provide services on an as-needed basis through individual task assignments over a twelve-month contract term with potential extension to forty-eight months total. The RFP supports various transit-related activities including services for rural and small urban transit providers, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives. Proposals were due by September 10, 2025, and contractors will be engaged to support federally recognized tribal agencies, councils of governments, metropolitan planning organizations, non-profits, local governments, and transit authorities across Arizona.

Compensation will be provided through hourly rates for actual work performed, with individual task assignments specifying scopes of work, deliverables, and performance metrics. The contract is funded through federal transit programs including FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305. ADOT established a 0.00% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) contract goal, though DBE participation is encouraged. The procurement approach creates a flexible consulting pool allowing ADOT significant discretion in accessing specialized transit consulting services throughout the contract period. Eligible respondents include federally recognized tribal agencies, councils of governments, metropolitan planning organizations, non-profits, local governments, and transit authorities.
