The procurement seeks qualified firms to provide specialized consulting services including parking area design, transportation assessment, transit system planning, parking inventory analysis, and parking management plans. Specific service requirements encompass pavement design, parking layout, landscaping, shuttle bus routes, pedestrian walkways, lighting design, and parking deck structure consulting. Qualifications are due on February 18, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. CT, with the university anticipating award recommendations by March 3, 2025, and contract execution targeted for March 7, 2025. The initial contract term is one year with three optional one-year renewal periods, and the university will evaluate qualifications based on demonstrated competence and qualifications to determine the "most qualified" firms for best value determination. Respondents must submit six identical copies of qualifications, one HUB package, and one electronic version on a flash drive, with documents limited to 35 printed pages maximum.

The procurement includes a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan with a goal of 26.0% for services contracts, indicating a commitment to diversity in vendor selection. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and commercial automobile liability of $1,000,000.
