Micromobility Program for the City of Cheyenne

The City of Cheyenne and Cheyenne Downtown Development Authority are issuing Request for Proposal (RFP #5-26) seeking a qualified organization to develop, install, own, operate, and maintain a dockless micromobility vehicle program. The procurement requires vendors to provide electric bikes (e-bikes) and electric scooters (e-scooters) as either a combined offering or partnership, with bike share accommodation mandatory for proposal consideration. Deliverables include citywide coverage with emphasis on first-mile/last-mile connectivity and downtown mobility hubs, supporting Cheyenne's Bronze-level Bicycle Friendly Community status and sustainable transportation alternatives. Required qualifications include minimum experience operating similar services in at least three comparable municipalities within the past three years, along with submission of audited financial statements, banking references, and demonstrated adequate resources and capitalization. Evaluation criteria include vendor experience, fleet quality, operational robustness, safety commitment, data reporting capability, community engagement, equity programs, and adequate resources; proposals will be evaluated in two stages with technical proposals reviewed first on objective criteria, followed by separate price proposal evaluation. Key deadlines include April 27, 2026, at 5:00 pm for question submission; May 6, 2026, at 3:00 pm for proposal submission via the City's eProcurement Portal; May 11, 2026, for interview selection; May 12, 2026, for final selection; May 13, 2026, for professional services agreement finalization; June 8, 2026, for City Council approval; and June 15, 2026, for contract execution and notice-to-proceed, with a targeted Summer 2025 launch date for an initial one-year term.

The RFP does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to disadvantaged enterprises or particular organization types; however, the City reserves the right to reject all proposals, split awards among multiple vendors, delay award decisions, or terminate the procurement. Vendors must be solely responsible for obtaining all necessary licenses, permits, fees, and insurance without additional City expense, and must include local hiring and labor plans with specified employee-to-fleet ratios. The procurement seeks a financially viable and sustainable program with minimal to no public investment, with vendors required to detail all forms of compensation including permit fees, per-device fees, revenue sharing, in-kind services, and sponsorship arrangements. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the RFP documentation; however, the emphasis on minimal to no public investment indicates the City expects the selected vendor to generate revenue through operational mechanisms rather than rely on City funding. All proposals remain valid for at least 120 days, and proposal contents except proprietary or financial information become public information following submission, with all proposals developed independently without collusion.
