AI Contract Overview
The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has issued a non-binding Request for Information (RFI#26-04053PP) to gather market intelligence on Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) technologies and emerging mobility innovations to inform its long-term strategic planning. This RFI is strictly an information-gathering tool and does not constitute a solicitation, procurement, or commitment to award a contract or make any purchase. Respondents are encouraged to share insights on turnkey CAV services such as automated shuttles for fixed-route circulator systems and automated microtransit for on-demand, dynamically routed mobility, with a focus on deployment feasibility in four designated Innovative Mobility Zones: South Valley in West Jordan and South Jordan, Vineyard FrontRunner Station Area, Farmington Station/Lagoon Shuttle, and a bonus location at Park City’s future elevated pedestrian bridge under High Valley Transit. UTA is particularly interested in both proven high-tech solutions and emerging technologies including Automated Guideway Transit, Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing aircraft, and integration with Bus Rapid Transit networks, as well as innovations in automated planning tools to replace manual processes. Responses must be submitted via the Bonfire portal by August 13, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. local time and are limited to ten pages, excluding appendices, with a mandatory completion of Appendix A’s response cover page. While detailed pricing or customized cost documentation is prohibited to avoid contaminating future procurement processes, respondents may provide general cost estimates or ballpark figures. UTA requests information on regulatory compliance including adherence to Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements, Title VI, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, Buy America provisions, and drug and alcohol testing mandates, along with insurance risk strategies and accessibility features for riders with mobility, visual, or hearing impairments. Technical submissions must address cybersecurity protocols for V2X communication security, secure data feeds like BSM and SRM, and safe over-the-air software update management. Respondents are also asked to outline timelines, approximate costs, and processes for obtaining NHTSA approval and local CAV permitting. All submissions are considered public records under the Utah Records Access Management Act, and UTA does not guarantee confidentiality of proprietary information. Questions and correspondence should be directed to Pat Postell, Procurement and Contracts Specialist, at [email hidden].
