Following the bid solicitation and contract negotiation process, final contracts for these projects will come before the board for approval.

The selected consultant will assist in ongoing vehicle management and state of good repair initiatives, as well as support upcoming and future vehicle procurements by providing specialized engineering and project management expertise. To meet these needs, UTA intends to solicit statements of qualifications from external vendors with demonstrated experience in these service areas.
This procurement will be conducted as a Request for Qualifications (RFQu), with contract award made to the most qualified firm. The anticipated contract term consists of a three (3)-year base period with two (2) one-year renewal options. Funding for this project is supported through multiple vehicle capital funding codes.
