To increase mobility and access, Watertown seeks for local transit to be the best sum of its parts. This Study will identify and suggest what the best options are to connect people to where they want to go locally without a personal automobile in accordance with the City's goal of reducing single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) travel mileage by 50% by 2050. Each recommendation in the study shall be tangible, explicit, and list pathways for implementation, for a more inclusive and equitable system. The RFP contains a detailed scope, which we hope inspires individuals/firms for a thought-provoking Study.

The City of Watertown will accept proposals delivered in person or by mail, only. All proposals must be received by 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 21, 2024 to be considered. Proposals submitted by fax or by electronic mail will not be considered. All proposals must be submitted to:

City of Watertown Procurement Department
Watertown City Hall
149 Main Street
Watertown, MA 02472

This is not a price competition, but rather the City's decision will be based upon qualifications and experience of the individual/firm. The City will initially evaluate and score all proposals.

The City may schedule interviews with the highest scoring individuals/firms. The City will rank the finalists based on consideration of the minimum criteria/qualifications, the comparative evaluation criteria, and the interview (if applicable).

The City of Watertown may cancel this RFP or reject in whole or in part any and all proposals, if they determine that cancellation or rejection serves the best interest of the City of Watertown.
