FARE COLLECTION APPLICATION - REJECTION

Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee · 2026-06-10 · resolution

This legislative matter, File Number 260623, concerns the rejection of all proposals for a Fare Collection Application for the Department of Transportation and Public Works. Initially, the administration recommended rejecting all bids. However, during committee discussions, the administration requested to withdraw this recommendation and instead return with a recommended vendor. This shift followed extensive debate regarding the RFP process, including the number of proposers invited to oral presentations, the evaluation of optional items, and PCI compliance issues with the current vendor. The item was ultimately withdrawn from consideration by the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee on June 10, 2026, with the administration intending to present a revised recommendation. Public comment focused on the need for confidence in the county's procurement processes and the impact of flawed procedures on businesses.
