About this opportunity
Yates County, New York is seeking a qualified public transit service provider through a Request for Proposal (RfP) to administer, operate, and maintain a comprehensive transit system within the county. The procurement aims to select an organization capable of delivering three primary service components: regular fixed-route services to key population centers, pre-scheduled on-demand transportation, and strategic partnerships with local employers to serve specialized populations. Proposers are encouraged to offer innovative solutions that enhance value for system users and county taxpayers. The complete proposal must be submitted by July 28, 2025, at 12:00 PM to the Planning Department at the Yates County Office Building. The contract term is anticipated to be five years from the date of execution, with the county reserving the right to reject any proposals, request additional information, or award negotiated contracts to one or more proposers. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on the proposer's ability to provide comprehensive, flexible, and financially feasible transit services that meet the diverse transportation needs of Yates County residents, businesses, and visitors.
The county has explicitly stated that it will only contract with organizations that do not discriminate against employees or applicants based on race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, citizenship status, or any other status protected by New York State and Federal laws. There are no specific set-aside designations for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses for this procurement. The current incumbent vendor appears to be Yates Transit Service, which has been awarded an identical or substantially similar contract within the past five years. While specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the RfP suggests the county is seeking a cost-effective solution that can provide comprehensive transit services. Potential proposers should be prepared to demonstrate their operational capabilities, financial stability, and innovative approach to public transportation service delivery in a rural county setting.
