Transit Bus Stop ADA Improvements (FTA)

Broward County Transportation Department is soliciting bids for an open-end contract to install ADA-compliant landing pads and transit amenities at bus stop sites throughout Broward County and Fort Lauderdale, with bids due November 2, 2026. The contract is 70% federally funded by the Federal Transit Administration and subject to Title 49 CFR Part 26, Buy America Certification, DBE Program requirements, and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates.

Vendors must hold either a Florida State Certified General Contractor or Certified Building Contractor license, or a Broward County General Building Contractor Class "A" or "B" license registered with the State. The vendor must perform at least 75% of the total contract price without subcontracting or outsourcing. No DBE participation goal applies.

Work includes installation of transit amenities (benches, trash cans, bike racks) and construction of sidewalks, bus stop landing areas, and curbs to ADA specifications. Pass-through allowances totaling $85,000 annually cover permits ($20,000), inspections ($5,000), specialized construction activities ($50,000), and parts and materials ($10,000), with payment based on actual costs incurred subject to prior authorization.

This is an indefinite-quantity contract with no guaranteed minimum. The initial term runs three years from award, with the Director of Purchasing authorized to renew for up to two additional one-year periods subject to vendor acceptance and satisfactory performance. Pricing is firm during the initial period with no increases allowed. For renewal terms, vendors may request price increases with documentation submitted at least ninety days in advance, capped at the change in Consumer Price Index or Producer Price Index unless otherwise approved.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder on a total bid price basis. Vendors must bid on all items to be considered for award.
