About this opportunity

The City of Hayward is seeking a community organization to support the Hayward Rides Program through a Request for Qualification (RFQ) #25-056, with sealed Statements of Qualifications (SOQs)/Bids due by 4:00 pm on June 13, 2025, via the City's eProcurement Portal. The program aims to distribute bicycles and safety equipment to Hayward residents, with a specific focus on low-income and historically underserved communities, utilizing a $2.8 million grant from the California Air Resources Board. Key deliverables include managing program logistics such as bicycle and safety equipment distribution, event coordination, ongoing maintenance activities, participant surveys, and building a sustainable bike culture in Hayward. The evaluation process will assess organizations based on three criteria: qualifications of the organization (20 points), organizational experience and capacity (40 points), and project understanding (40 points). An optional bidders' conference was scheduled for May 27, 2025, at 10:00 am via Microsoft Teams, and the City reserves the right to select one or multiple organizations to perform the services.

The procurement is specifically targeted at community-serving nonprofits primarily serving Hayward residents, with required experience in community engagement, event coordination, and physical goods distribution. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documents. The program supports broader city objectives, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, providing affordable transportation alternatives, and supporting the Vision Zero policy to eliminate serious injuries and fatalities on city streets by 2050. Potential respondents must complete several mandatory compliance documents, including a Contractor's Certificate Regarding Workers' Compensation, a Non-nuclear Affirmation, and a Nondiscriminatory Employment Practices and Affirmative Action Certification Statement. While a specific award value was not detailed, the program is funded by a $2.8 million grant, suggesting significant potential contract value for the selected organization(s). The City will evaluate responses through a structured process that may include interviews, with the goal of selecting a partner to effectively implement the Hayward Rides Program.
