Renovation of a transportation facility in Dubuque, Iowa. Completed plans call for the renovation of a transportation facility.

The Dubuque Transportation Department is soliciting competitive sealed proposals for replacement upgrade and installation of its current Automatic Fare Collection System and Demand Response System. This RFP is seeking solutions for both fixed route and demand response. Proposals should be submitted in separate format, one for each system. Proposals will be accepted for one system from proposers that provide solutions dedicated to one or the other (i.e., Automatic Fare Collection Systems only.) For the purpose of this proposal, proposers should assume that all existing hardware and supported software will be replaced. Anticipated timeframe to have the replacement complete is within 120 days of awarding the Contract. Proposers are encouraged to quote their models/brands that meet the requirements for an Automatic Fare Collection System and/or a Demand Response System; however, the Dubuque Transportation Department specifications must be met. Any non-specified material or feature should be noted on the proposal. This RFP provides the specifications and requirements for proposers to complete the proposal including the cost for dimensions, quantities of fixtures and devices, material costs, delivery costs, installation costs, recycle/disposal costs, projected rebate savings, maintenance savings, and projected payback and return-on-investment. A minimum warranty of three (3) years beginning on the date of Contract completion is required with the option of annual renewal, after the initial 3-year period, of the original agreement for the life of the system as determined by the proposer and the Transportation Department. Each additional one-year term must be agreed to in writing by both parties. The Automated Fare Collection technical specification matrix includes specific warranty, maintenance and spare parts requirements for this equipment and software. The required warranty is a minimum of three (3) years.
