Industry Day for Contractor Provided Shuttle Bus Services

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) is conducting an Industry Day event on August 14, 2024, for a competitive procurement of Contractor Provided Shuttle Bus Services at Orlando International Airport. The primary objective is to gather insights from transportation companies capable of managing a comprehensive airport busing operation with a fleet of at least 60 buses. The shuttle services will cover critical transportation needs within the airport complex, including routes to the Brightline Train Station, airport terminals, and long-term parking lots. Key deliverables include operational management, transportation logistics, and maintaining high service standards for passenger experience. The event, to be held in the GOAA Annex Building's Gemini Conference Room, is a non-binding information-gathering session designed to assess the feasibility of a future solicitation. Interested parties must RSVP to shuttlebus@goaa.org, and the primary contact is Andy Farrington, Procurement Agent III, who can be reached at andy.farrington@goaa.org or (407) 825-2296. The procurement will focus on evaluating potential vendors' capabilities in operational procedures, insurance requirements, and maintenance capabilities.

The current solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors are directly mentioned in the documentation, and there are no specific details about existing infrastructure that would require integration. The Industry Day is structured as an exploratory session, meaning no pricing information will be discussed, and participation does not guarantee any advantage in future procurement processes. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the requirement for a 60-bus fleet suggests a substantial potential contract value. The procurement is specifically focused on Orange County and Orlando City jurisdictions within the state of Florida, and the Aviation Authority is seeking comprehensive shuttle bus service providers with significant operational capacity. Companies interested in responding should be prepared to demonstrate extensive experience in large-scale transportation management, robust fleet maintenance capabilities, and a strong safety record in airport or similar complex transportation environments.
