Transit Service Project

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Department of Transportation and Parking, is seeking proposals for the redevelopment of its Point-to-Point (P2P) transportation management system. The procurement includes three key components: (1) an on-demand shuttle reservation, dispatch, and tracking solution; (2) a fixed-route solution with support for General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) feeds; and (3) a ride aggregator application supporting live bus tracking of the fixed-route service. Vendors may submit proposals for any one or more of these solutions. The University is looking to enhance its transportation infrastructure by implementing modern, open Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions that provide a seamless user experience and align with industry standards for reliability and interoperability. Proposals are due by May 29, 2024, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, and the University may invite selected vendors for interviews, oral presentations, and/or product demonstrations. Evaluation criteria include conformity to specifications, total cost of ownership, implementation timeline, and vendor past performance.

The contract opportunity involves the jurisdictions of Orange County and the Town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not provide information on any listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, or the existing infrastructure and technology that requires integration. Additionally, the RFP does not disclose the possible award values or budget ranges.
