Request for Proposals - Downtown Accessibility and Mobility Study

The City of San Antonio has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP 26-079, solicitation number 6100019667) seeking consulting services to perform a comprehensive downtown accessibility and mobility study. The primary focus of the study is to assess parking within a wider mobility framework that incorporates transit, rideshare, walking, micromobility options, curb management, technology integration, pricing strategies, and communication approaches. The objective is to develop data-driven recommendations that enhance access to downtown, reduce congestion, improve the user experience, support major events, and align mobility improvements with the city’s long-term urban development goals. The work will be performed in San Antonio, Texas, and the City’s Finance Department - Procurement Division manages the acquisition process. This solicitation does not include detailed FAR clauses, pricing data, or explicit evaluation criteria, and no packaging, marking, or inspection and acceptance instructions were provided. The submission deadline is May 15, 2026, with proposals required via electronic submission through the City’s SAePS portal after vendor registration. Communication restrictions limit contact to designated procurement staff, with Karla Holten serving as the primary contact for inquiries. There are no requirements for security clearances, identification of key personnel, or conflict of interest provisions stated. Although performance timelines are not defined, the study’s deliverable will consist of actionable, data-supported strategies to improve multimodal downtown mobility efficacy. The City anticipates using this analysis to inform strategic planning but has not disclosed contract type, value, or detailed award factors at this stage.
