FARE COLLECTION APPLICATION - REJECTION

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

This legislative item, File Number 260623, concerning a Fare Collection Application for the Department of Transportation and Public Works, was withdrawn. Initially, the administration recommended rejecting all proposals received in response to Request for Proposals No. EVN0001148. However, during committee discussions, the administration requested to withdraw this recommendation to instead return with a recommended vendor. Concerns were raised about the procurement process, including the number of proposers invited to oral presentations and the evaluation of optional items and pricing. The item was deferred by the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee on May 13, 2026, to allow the administration time to evaluate upgrading the current system and to provide further information on scoring mechanisms and funding. On June 10, 2026, the item was withdrawn from the agenda. The original solicitation was advertised on May 16, 2025, with proposals received on August 29, 2025. The existing contract (Contract No. L8481-0/27) for fare collection equipment was awarded in 2008 and is valued at $31,671,329, expiring January 31, 2028.
