About this opportunity
The Central Contra Costa Transit Authority (County Connection) and the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) are requesting proposals for ADA and non-ADA paratransit operations and maintenance services across their combined service areas, with proposals due October 30, 2026, and questions due October 23, 2026 at 4:00 PM PDT.
The procurement builds on a successful regional pilot program in which the two agencies operated under a coordinated model. County Connection will administer the contract, while service policy development and performance evaluation are shared by both agencies. The current contract with Transdev expires June 30, 2027; the selected contractor must assume all services effective July 1, 2027. County Connection has provided complementary ADA paratransit services since 1990 through its LINK program and currently manages services for County Connection, BART within central Contra Costa County, and LAVTA's Wheels Dial-A-Ride program, along with several hybrid and special transportation services.
Proposers must demonstrate expertise in paratransit cost analysis, operational efficiency, and accessible mobility solutions. Key service objectives include developing affordable and user-friendly technologies, increasing shared-ride efficiencies, expanding service availability throughout the combined region, providing flexible cancellation and rebooking options, offering self-service trip management tools, reducing regional transfer wait times, and reducing deadhead and unproductive mileage. The successful contractor will provide reservations, scheduling, dispatch, customer service, technology-enabled service delivery, and data-driven performance management.
Interested subcontractors identified in the portal include Butterfli Technologies, Keolis Transit Services LLC, MTM Transit LLC, MV Transportation Inc., RATP Dev USA Inc., Transdev Services Inc., and WeDriveU Inc. A pre-bid conference was held on September 24, 2026. Proposers must submit a transmittal letter, technical proposal, and exhibits including cost proposal form, contractor identification, workforce retention declaration, and applicable certifications regarding debarment, lobbying, and tax liability.

The current contract with Transdev expires June 30, 2027, and the successful proposer must assume all services effective July 1, 2027. The selected contractor will provide safe, efficient, effective, and innovative operations, including reservations, scheduling, dispatch, customer service, technology-enabled service delivery, and data-driven performance management.

Key objectives of this procurement include developing affordable and user-friendly technologies, increasing shared-ride efficiencies, expanding service availability throughout the combined service area, providing flexible cancellation and rebooking options, offering self-service trip management tools, reducing regional transfer wait times, reducing deadhead and other unproductive time and mileage, and developing partnerships with other transportation providers and sponsors.
