The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is seeking proposals from firms to provide professional consultant services for a planning study that will advance transportation, economic development, land use, and resilience planning for a 17.2-mile transit corridor in Clayton County, Georgia. The RFP outlines the key objectives of the study, which include developing strategies to improve connectivity, promote transit-oriented development, and enhance the overall resilience of the corridor. Proposers must demonstrate experience in providing similar planning services and must submit their proposals by October 4, 2024. MARTA will hold a pre-proposal conference on September 11, 2024 to provide additional details and answer questions from interested firms.

The RFP includes a 25% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, and proposers must demonstrate good faith efforts to meet this requirement. Regular reporting on DBE contracting will be required. The contract will be awarded to the most responsive and responsible proposer, and MARTA reserves the right to award to multiple proposers. The RFP also includes standard federal requirements such as debarment and lobbying certifications. The anticipated value of the contract is not specified, but the level of detail and scope of the planning study suggest a significant investment in this initiative.
