About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The City of Watertown, Wisconsin is seeking a contractor to provide shared-ride taxi services within the city limits and within a 2-mile radius through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for door-to-door, demand-responsive transportation. The procurement will secure a service provider for a base two-year contract from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027, with three optional one-year renewal periods. Key service requirements include operating seven days a week with specific daily hours, utilizing leased vehicles with ADA-accessible options, and maintaining a comprehensive dispatch system with communication devices. Proposers must demonstrate capability to provide curb-to-curb transportation for the general public, including disabled individuals, with a 30-minute passenger pickup window and specialized assistance for elderly and disabled passengers. The RFP requires detailed submissions including firm-fixed hourly rate pricing, vehicle maintenance plans, driver training protocols, drug and alcohol testing procedures, and comprehensive record-keeping capabilities. Proposals are due on October 1, 2025, at 10:00 AM CT, with an anticipated contract award date of November 4, 2025. The project will be funded through federal grant monies totaling $993,876.00 under Section 5311 (CFDA 20.509).

The contract allows for potential price adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and requires the contractor to provide all operational and administrative resources. The City of Watertown will supply at least 10 vehicles for the contractor's use, with some being wheelchair-accessible, which suggests minimal capital investment requirements for the winning bidder. While the RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or preferences for disadvantaged enterprises, standard federal grant requirements typically include provisions for minority and small business participation. The contractor will be responsible for comprehensive vehicle maintenance, insurance, driver training, and meeting specific service standards. Pricing must be submitted for the base two-year period and three optional years, indicating potential total contract value could range between $1.2 to $1.5 million depending on optional year extensions and potential rate adjustments. Prospective bidders should have extensive experience in public transportation services, particularly those involving paratransit and ADA-compliant transportation solutions.
