About this opportunity
The Metropolitan Council is soliciting proposals for a push-button bus arrival annunciator system replacement project under Contract 26P137, with proposals due September 4, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., a mandatory site visit on August 6 at 9:00 a.m., and a pre-proposal meeting on July 24 at 10:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams. The Council intends to award in two phases — Pilot Award and Implementation Award — with each phase potentially awarded to multiple vendors.
The scope addresses ADA compliance by replacing existing annunciator systems at transit stops and transit centers to deliver audible descriptions of next bus arrivals for vision-impaired riders and those preferring audio information over text displays. Services will be performed over a three-year period. No DBE or Metropolitan Council Underutilized Business goals have been established, though the Council encourages participation from minority, women, and small businesses.
All proposals must be submitted electronically through QuestCDN (eBidDoc Number 10282212) by registered Plan Holders; there is no charge for regular QuestCDN membership.
