PROVO CITY SHARED MICROMOBILITY PROGRAM

Provo City, Utah, is soliciting proposals under RFP PR2026001041 for a vendor to develop, install, operate, and maintain a comprehensive shared micromobility program. The project involves the deployment of a dockless fleet of e-bikes and e-scooters within the public right-of-way to provide an alternative to single-occupancy vehicle trips. The successful vendor will own and operate the system, which must include modern technology, safety features like handlebar bells and reflectors, and adherence to Class 1, 2, or 3 e-bike classifications. A key requirement is the provision of equitable access, including pricing and usage options for individuals without smartphones or credit cards. The program is intended for an initial three-year term with two optional one-year extensions, targeting a launch date of December 2026. The city expects the program to be financially sustainable with limited to no public investment, requiring the vendor to secure funding through user fees, sponsorships, or private financing. Award selection will be based on a scoring system from 1 to 5, with a final review including reference checks. The selected vendor must enter into an Operating Agreement and a Limited Waiver and Hold Harmless Agreement, while maintaining all necessary insurance and indemnifying the city. Proposals must be submitted electronically via Bonfire by November 6, 2026, and must include a signed vendor statement and detailed organizational and operational descriptions. Finalists will be required to submit confidential financial statements for further review.
