About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The City of Black River Falls, Wisconsin, is seeking qualified contractors to provide shared-ride taxi services through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. BRF 2022, with proposals due on January 6, 2023, at 2:00 PM CST. The procurement involves door-to-door, demand-responsive, advanced reservation taxi services available to the general public, operating seven days a week from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM within city limits. The contractor must operate a minimum of three vehicles capable of carrying at least three passengers and will be responsible for telephone communications, dispatching, driving, vehicle maintenance, and record keeping, with specific emphasis on assisting disabled passengers. Evaluation criteria include Professional Competence (20 points), Capacity (25 points), Experience (25 points), and Price (30 points), with the municipality intending to award a single contract to the highest-scoring responsive and responsible proposer. The base contract covers January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024, with three optional one-year renewal periods, and requires compliance with Federal Transit Administration regulations. Proposers must submit comprehensive documentation, including financial stability information, insurance coverage, maintenance records, driver training documentation, and adherence to state and federal requirements.

The contract includes Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) compliance, with WisDOT's transit goal set at 1.61% for Federal Fiscal Years 2023-2025. The city will potentially lease two municipally-owned accessible vehicles (a 2019 and 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan) to the contractor for $1 per vehicle annually, though communications equipment must be provided by the contractor. The procurement is partially funded by a Federal Transit Administration Section 5311 grant totaling $149,473, which imposes additional federal compliance requirements such as Buy America Act provisions, drug and alcohol testing standards, and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance with a $1,000,000 combined liability minimum and comply with various federal clauses, including those related to civil rights, equal employment opportunity, ADA access, and telecommunications equipment restrictions. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the contract structure suggests a firm-fixed pricing model with annual service hour estimates around 10,735 hours per year and weekly scheduled vehicle and driver hours of approximately 212 hours.
