About this opportunity

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) has issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. P-25-006 for Water Taxi Services in downtown Jacksonville, seeking a qualified marine service delivery provider to operate a turnkey passenger transportation service on the St. Johns River. The procurement calls for a contractor to operate three commercial water taxi-type vessels with a minimum 20-person seating capacity, plus one spare vessel, with an estimated 8,840 total revenue hours annually. Service routes will operate seven days per week, with varying hours: Monday-Thursday from 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. and Friday-Sunday from 10:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m., maintaining 30-minute headways between routes. The contract is structured as a three-year base agreement with two potential two-year renewal options. Proposals will be evaluated using a best value competitive negotiated approach, with a total possible score of 100 points distributed across several categories, including technical knowledge (20 points), innovation (20 points), and compliance with acts and standards (15 points). A pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for November 7, 2024, with final proposals due on December 3, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. local time.

No specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal has been established for this contract, though proposers are encouraged to obtain DBE participation. Proposers must be in good standing in Florida, not listed as an excluded party, and possess all necessary licenses and certifications. The procurement will be subject to Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Third-Party Contract Clauses, which mandate compliance with various federal regulatory requirements including equal employment opportunity, civil rights, Buy America provisions, Davis-Bacon wage standards, and prohibitions on certain telecommunications equipment. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the comprehensive service requirements and multi-year contract structure suggest a significant procurement value. Potential respondents must carefully review the detailed FTA Third-Party Clauses document, which specifies mandatory contractual requirements and flow-down provisions that will apply to the primary contractor and all subcontractors across different tiers of the project.
