The City of Wisconsin Rapids is soliciting a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Shared Ride Taxi Service, seeking a vendor to provide door-to-door, demand-responsive transportation services within the city and a 5-mile radius. The contract covers a two-year base period from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2025, with three optional one-year renewal periods, totaling a potential five-year contract. The service must operate seven days a week with extended hours: Monday through Thursday from 5:00 AM to 12:00 AM, Friday and Saturday from 5:00 AM to 3:00 AM, and Sunday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Vendors must maintain a minimum fleet of 14 vehicles (model year 2016 or newer), with at least 10 vehicles having no more than 125,000 miles, and operate an automated dispatch system at a centralized office staffed 19 hours daily. The evaluation criteria include Professional Competence (20 points), Capacity (25 points), Experience (25 points), and Price (30 points), for a total of 100 points. Key deadlines include a pre-proposal conference on September 15, 2023 (optional), the last day to submit questions on September 18, 2023, and proposal submission due by October 2, 2023, at 2:00 PM, with an estimated contract award date of October 30, 2023.

The procurement allows for both independent contractor and W-2 employment models, provided all Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and training requirements are met.

The City will lease up to 10 vehicles to the selected contractor at $1 per vehicle per year, including five vans and five accessible vehicles. Vendors must have at least three years of ground transportation services experience and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage with a minimum of $1,000,000 combined single limit. The contract requires detailed record-keeping, including driver logs, dispatcher records, and monthly reports, which must be retained for six years after contract completion.
