Riverfront Transit Center Parking Services

The contract issued by the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) solicits proposals for providing comprehensive parking services at the Riverfront Transit Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The scope entails full management of parking operations, including staffing, equipment deployment such as signage and toll booths, facility maintenance, security, and coordination for daily and special event operations. The contractor is responsible for compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including accessibility (ADA), environmental protection, drug-free workplace requirements, and equal employment opportunity laws. The contract requires the submission of detailed operational plans, staffing qualifications, and performance reporting, while also mandating a revenue-sharing model and adherence to SORTA’s operational standards and policies. Proposals are evaluated on multiple factors beyond cost, emphasizing understanding of SORTA’s needs, qualifications and experience of staff, project approach, and financial responsibility. SORTA employs a trade-off award process, seeking the most advantageous offer rather than simply the lowest price. The solicitation mandates the identification and credentials of key personnel and subcontractors, whose approval is reserved by SORTA. The contractor must provide various insurance certificates and attest to compliance with organizational conflict of interest provisions. There are no formal contract options or security clearance requirements, but scope expansion may occur through task orders. Invoicing is to be submitted monthly with supporting documentation, and payments processed through SORTA’s accounts payable department. All proposals must be submitted electronically via SORTA’s dedicated procurement portal by the specified deadline, with careful adherence to proposal format, confidentiality, and documentation requirements.
