Drug and Alcohol Compliance Software

MARTA is seeking proposals from qualified firms to implement a cloud-based drug and alcohol compliance software system designed to meet Federal Transit Administration (FTA) standards. The software must facilitate comprehensive tracking of pre-employment, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion testing, generate statistical and Management Information System reports, support automated random selection processes, and enable electronic notifications with labs and medical review officers. It should also store training data, streamline document management, and identify efficiencies in current compliance practices. The contract, administered by MARTA’s Department of Human Resources, is valued between 500,000 and 2 million dollars, with a five-year performance period starting from the issuance of a Notice to Proceed, which is expected shortly after the proposal evaluation. The solicitation, issued as RFP P50717, emphasizes compliance with numerous federal regulations including nondiscrimination statutes under 49 CFR Part 21, DBE requirements under 49 CFR Part 26, ADA, and wage laws such as the Davis Bacon Act. It incorporates these regulations by reference, requiring contractors and subcontractors to include specific clauses in agreements and adhere to civil rights and equal opportunity statutes. The evaluation process prioritizes the software’s ability to meet program requirements, cloud capabilities, FTA/DOT experience, and cost, with proposals due by September 17, 2025. Submission must include separate technical and price volumes, signed certifications, and completed forms, with proposals submitted electronically via USB drives and in sealed envelopes. The contract also mandates strict security protocols, personnel identification, and conflict of interest disclosures, ensuring compliance throughout the performance period.
