About this opportunity

The City of Chippewa Falls, in collaboration with the West Central Regional Planning Commission, is seeking a qualified contractor to provide shared ride taxi services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a two-year base contract period from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027, with three additional one-year option periods. The procurement is for curb-to-curb, demand-responsive transportation services within the City of Chippewa Falls, with potential connections to northern Eau Claire. The contractor will be responsible for operating and maintaining dispatch systems, keeping vehicle maintenance logs, and recording trip details using eight city-owned accessible minivans. Key deliverables include providing transportation services seven days a week for the general public, including disabled individuals, and maintaining comprehensive reporting on service performance, ridership, and revenue. The RFP was issued on August 21, 2025, with proposals due by September 22, 2025, at 3 pm CDT, and an estimated contract award date of November 4, 2025. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on pricing, with the contract structured as a firm-fixed price model and potential annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).

The procurement includes federal funding of $243,702 through Section 5307 transit operating funds, which triggers specific compliance requirements for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation. Contractors must complete the Bidders List Appendix, which captures detailed information about firm demographics, including annual gross receipts, DBE status, firm age, race, gender, and work type. The RFP includes mandatory federal clauses covering areas such as lobbying restrictions, debarment, telecommunications equipment prohibitions, employee protections, and Buy America Act requirements for purchases over $150,000. Contractors must maintain appropriate insurance, comply with federal and state regulations, and adhere to provisions in Appendix I - Federal Clauses for Federal Contracts. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract requires integration with existing city-owned infrastructure, including eight accessible minivans. The pricing proposal indicates that vendors must provide all-inclusive hourly service rates for the base and option years, with a fixed 1.0 percent CPI-U adjustment, and no guaranteed minimum purchase quantity.
