Bike Sharing

The state of Massachusetts is seeking proposals for a bike sharing program. The procurement is for the provision of a comprehensive, turnkey bike sharing system, including the supply, installation, operation, and maintenance of the system. Key objectives include increasing mobility options and promoting active transportation within the state. Qualified respondents should demonstrate expertise in designing, implementing, and managing large-scale bike share programs, with a focus on sustainability, user experience, and system reliability. Evaluation criteria will likely include technical capabilities, past performance, cost, and plans for system expansion and integration with other transportation modes. Proposals are due by June 20, 2018, and the state may host a pre-proposal site visit or bidders' meeting.

This opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, with no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors for this program. Respondents will need to consider integrating their solutions with existing transportation infrastructure and technology platforms within the state. The total contract value has not been specified, but the state has committed funding to support a comprehensive bike sharing system that can be scaled to serve communities across Massachusetts.
