Dockless Vehicle Operations on City Right-of-Way

The City of San Antonio’s Center City Development and Operations Department is soliciting proposals to deploy 1,000 dockless vehicles for public use within the city’s right-of-way, aiming to enhance mobility options for residents and visitors. This procurement, identified by solicitation number 6100019653 and NAICS code 485113, seeks two vendors to supply and operate the vehicles under the City’s regulatory framework. The RFP was issued on May 13, 2026, with proposals due by June 30, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Central Time, and submissions must be made exclusively through the SAePS vendor portal, requiring registration prior to response. The place of performance is explicitly confined to San Antonio’s public right-of-way in Texas, and vendors must comply with San Antonio City Code Section 2-61 regarding communications and local procurement rules. While the contract calls for the delivery and ongoing operation of the vehicles, no details are provided on the period of performance, pricing, contract value, delivery terms, or FOB conditions, leaving these elements undefined in the available documentation. Contract administration is managed by the City’s Finance Department – Procurement Division, with primary contact Jinwan Kim serving as Procurement Specialist III and Troy Elliott as Finance-Procurement Director. Oversight will involve evaluation from CCDO staff, including John Jacks, John Stevens, and Jayson Horn, though no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Representative is designated in the materials. There is no indication of FAR or DFARS clauses, Federal acquisition regulations, or standardized government contract clauses being incorporated into the procurement. No formal Section M evaluation factors, Section K representations or certifications, Section H special requirements, or Section J attachments are present in the provided content, suggesting a simplified municipal procurement structure. Key compliance obligations center on SAePS registration and adherence to local ordinance, with no requirements for UEI, SAM.gov registration, socioeconomic status certifications, or affirmative reporting tied to labor, safety, or equity programs. Inspection, acceptance criteria, packaging standards, invoicing procedures, and payment details are not specified, indicating that the contract’s operational and administrative framework relies heavily on local policies rather than federal procurement mandates.
