Outside Legal Counsel for Transit-Oriented Public-Private Partnership Project

The Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (CapMetro) is soliciting proposals for outside legal counsel to support the implementation of a transit-oriented development (TOD) public-private partnership (P3) project at selected properties in Central Texas, specifically the Loyola Lane Parcels and Tech Ridge Park and Ride. The scope of work is divided into three primary tasks: providing strategic legal guidance for entitlement and land use readiness, supporting the development and evaluation of the Delivery Partner Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) process, and providing optional legal advisory for RFP and P3 contract implementation. This project is wholly funded through federal grant funds and requires strict adherence to 2 CFR Part 200, the Build America, Buy America Act, and other federal transit laws. The contract has a term of six years from the Notice to Proceed. Award decisions will be based on best value, with evaluation factors prioritized by TOD and comparable project experience, the proposed work plan and technical approach, and the qualifications of project personnel. Proposals must be submitted electronically via PlanetBids by December 9, 2026, and must be divided into two separate volumes to isolate pricing information. Required submissions include a detailed pricing schedule with fully-burdened hourly rates, mandatory representations and certifications, and a CEO-guaranteed staffing plan. Undisputed invoices are to be submitted monthly and will be paid in accordance with the Texas Prompt Payment Act.
