Financial Consulting Services for OCITT

Miami-Dade County, on behalf of the Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust (CITT), is soliciting proposals for financial consulting services to the Office of the Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust (OCITT) under RFP EVN0040549, with proposals due September 2, 2026. A Small Business Enterprise (SBE) selection factor provides an additional 10 percent of technical evaluation points to certified SBEs; Local Certified Veteran Business Enterprises receive an additional 5 percent of technical points. A local preference provision applies whereby if a non-local proposer ranks highest and a local proposer ranks within 5 percent, the local proposer receives the opportunity to negotiate.

Services are rendered on an as-needed basis via work orders and encompass general financial consulting, financial analysis and modeling, performance management and measurement, strategic planning, business planning, fiscal policy formulation, economic analysis, benchmarking, transit cost analysis, and related technical assistance.

The County anticipates awarding one contract for an initial ten-year period, with the option to extend for an additional 180 calendar days by mutual agreement and Executive Director approval, and potential for further extensions beyond the initial extension period. Proposers must submit not-to-exceed hourly rates for various staff positions across all ten contract years; rates remain firm and fixed throughout the contract term. Travel costs will be reimbursed separately subject to Florida Statutes Section 112.061 and County approval. A 2 percent User Access Program fee applies to all sales. Payment terms provide for 45 calendar days from invoice receipt, with 14-day payment for SBE subcontractor goals.

Pricing represents 10 of 100 evaluation points and will be evaluated on a subjective basis combined with technical proposals. The evaluation process is projected for September–October 2026 with an anticipated award in November 2026. Insurance requirements include worker's compensation, commercial general liability of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability of $300,000, and professional liability of at least $1,000,000 per claim.
