About this opportunity

The Greater Peoria Mass Transit District (GPMTD) is seeking a comprehensive ADA Paratransit and Rural Transit Services Provider through Request for Proposals (RFP) FED2025-02 for services in Peoria County and Peoria City, Illinois. The procurement covers managing and operating CityLift (ADA Paratransit) and CountyLink (Rural Transit) services, with an initial contract term from December 1, 2025, through November 30, 2028, and two optional one-year renewals. Contractors will be responsible for trip reservations, scheduling, dispatching, vehicle maintenance, and related administrative functions, with projected service levels of approximately 69,000 vehicle service hours for CityLift and 12,250 vehicle service hours for CountyLink annually. Proposals are due by 4:00 PM CST on June 30, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for May 16, 2025. The successful proposer must provide comprehensive operational and administrative services, excluding vehicle provision, policy development, and ADA eligibility certification, and must demonstrate capability to manage complex transit services for persons with disabilities and rural transit riders.

The procurement includes a 10% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal and is funded through Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) financial assistance. The current service provider is TransDev, which will conclude its contract on November 30, 2025. Payment structure will include fixed hourly rates for vehicle service hours and a monthly fixed cost component, with performance penalties for service deficiencies. Current fare rates are $2.00 for CityLift and $6.00 for CountyLink. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the services and the substantial annual vehicle service hours suggest a significant contract value. Prospective bidders must demonstrate expertise in transit service management, ADA compliance, rural transit operations, and the ability to integrate with existing GPMTD infrastructure and operational protocols. The procurement seeks a contractor capable of seamlessly continuing and potentially improving the current transit services for Peoria County's specialized transportation needs.
