LTD Long-Range Mobility Plan (TGM 2D-23)

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), in collaboration with Lane Transit District (LTD), is seeking consulting services to develop a comprehensive Long-Range Mobility Plan (LRMP) for Lane County. The Mini-RFP solicitation is specifically targeted at registered vendors with existing Price Agreements with ODOT, focusing on creating a strategic mobility plan that updates LTD's goals and policies, assesses transit service levels, and explores various transit service options. Key deliverables will include a detailed analysis of the region's transit system, identifying strategic investments, and developing comprehensive recommendations for future transit services. The project will involve extensive public involvement, committee meetings, and community outreach to ensure a comprehensive approach to mobility planning. Proposers will be evaluated on specific criteria including key staff experience (40 points), project approach (40 points), work samples (20 points), and overall proposal clarity, with a maximum possible score of 120 points. The project is scheduled to begin in Spring 2025, with an anticipated completion timeline of 16 months, and proposals are due by May 21, 2025, under the OregonBuys Bid Solicitation Number S-73000-00012644.

The procurement includes a 5% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, providing opportunities for diverse business participation. Proposers must meet specific insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 in professional liability coverage and $1,000,000 in commercial general liability coverage. The project will be funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and will utilize a flexible compensation method that may include fixed price per deliverable, fixed price per task, or time and materials up to a maximum not-to-exceed amount. Vendors must complete mandatory Conflict of Interest (COI) disclosures and certify compliance with state non-discrimination policies, including having a written policy preventing sexual harassment and discrimination. While the exact project budget is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the mobility plan suggests a significant investment in understanding and improving regional transit infrastructure. Proposers must also demonstrate their ability to address transportation needs, explore land use connections, consider underserved populations, and develop strategic service improvements that align with broader transportation and climate goals.
