Dayton RTA Responses to Questions: January 9, 2025 Contract awards are based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder as determined by the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA). The RTA reserves the right, as the interests of the RTA may require, to postpone, accept or reject all bids and to waive defects or irregularities in the bids received. In awarding a contract(s), the RTA reserves the right to consider all elements entering the determination of the responsibility of the bidder. Any bid which is incomplete, conditional, obscure, or which contains additions not called for or irregularities of any kind, may be cause for rejection of the bid. Contract(s) for the purchase of goods and/or services will be awarded within sixty (60) calendar days from the date upon which bids were opened to the lowest bidder RTA deems responsive and responsible. The successful bidder will be required to execute the attached contract within five (5) calendar days after notification of award. In the event a single bid is received, the RTA will conduct a price and/or cost analysis of the bid. Price analysis is the process of examining and evaluating a price submitted without examining in detail the separate cost elements and the profit included in the cost bid. It should be recognized that a price analysis through comparison to other similar procurements must be based on an established or competitive price of the elements used in the comparison. The comparison must be made to a purchase of similar quantities and involving similar specifications. Where a difference exists, a detailed analysis must be made of this difference and costs associated thereto. RTA has the right to enter into a negotiated procurement should only a single bid be received. Where it is impossible to obtain a valid price analysis, it may be necessary for the RTA to conduct a cost analysis of the bid price. The RTA reserves the right, as the interests of the RTA may require, to postpone, accept or reject all bids and to waive defects or irregularities in bids received and to award a contract(s) in the best interest of the RTA.
