Documents RFQ 20-076 Regional Fleet and Facilities Study Services | October 09, 2020 1-2 ADVERTISEMENT REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS SOLICITATION NO. 20-027 FOR REGIONAL FLEET AND FACILITIES STUDY SERVICES GoTriangle is seeking qualified firms to submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) demonstrating the ability to perform Regional Fleet and Facilities Study services for a regional transit agency. To obtain a copy of the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) document, firms shall download the document from the GoTriangle’s web site at https://gotriangle.org/procurement-opportunities. SOQs will be received until 10:00 a.m.. (EST) on, November 03, 2020 at GoTriangle's Administrative Office located at 4600 Emperor Boulevard, Suite 100, Durham, North Carolina, 27703. Questions regarding the RFQ shall be directed to William Bryant, Procurement Administrator at [email protected]. GoTriangle reserves the right to reject any or all Statement of Qualifications. 1 BACKGROUND GoTriangle, a regional transit agency operating bus services in Durham, Orange, and Wake counties in North Carolina, is requesting SOQs from qualified firms to provide professional architectural and engineering services for the study and design through the conceptual phase of the proposed Regional Fleet Maintenance Facilities. We anticipate that the consultant will provide complete professional architecture/engineering services, including, but not limited to planning, programming, studies, analysis, and concept design services. This scope of work is intended to provide an overview of the anticipated major activities in the study; GoTriangle will finalize the detailed scope of services with the selected consultant during the negotiation phase of this procurement. This RFQ does not include services beyond the concept design. However, the selected firm may be requested to provide a limited scope of follow- on services and assistance at the sole discretion of GoTriangle. PROJECT OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES GoTriangle is seeking consultant support with assessing fleet and maintenance facility needs for GoTriangle and GoDurham, developing a conceptual design for these needs, and planning for potential regional electric bus charging infrastructure and other potential shared operations and maintenance resources. This effort will be closely aligned with ongoing transit plan updates in the three counties by the local Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), GoTriangle, and transit partners. If significant bus service expansion is contemplated in the transit plan updates, particularly in Durham, both GoTriangle and GoDurham will likely require additional maintenance capacity. The scope of services will include planning, conceptual design, and cost estimating to assess needs for expansion of existing maintenance facility sites and evaluate up to four alternative sites for new facilities (Study). RFQ 20-076 Regional Fleet and Facilities Study Services | October 09, 2020 1-3 The Study will identify potential expansions and alternatives to current utilization of existing facilities that will improve cost-efficiency and provide responsive services. GoTriangle will evaluate the alternatives based upon the following objectives: • Strategic capital improvement investment that will add value • Optimized usage of all facilities space and equipment (performance and safety) • Improved employee working environment (lounge, computer room, workout room, outdoor area, etc.) • Optimized logistical efficiency for bus dispatch, maintenance, and materials management • Optimized maintenance costs and out-of-service time for road call incidents • Minimization of deadhead time and cost • Reduced operating costs • Leveraging existing publicly owned real estate portfolios to the extent practicable • Prioritized sustainability goals by providing recommendations that minimize energy use and emissions, focus on maintenance and building renewal to reduce operating costs, maximize the life expectancy of facilities and equipment, and optimize space utilization • Consideration of regulatory requirements 2 SCOPE OF SERVICES GoTriangle is soliciting SOQs from qualified consultants to develop a Regional Fleet and Facilities Study (Study). The Study will include: • Assessment of the existing GoDurham and GoTriangle maintenance facilities • Collection and incorporation of input from stakeholder groups gathered through stakeholder workshops • Recommendations from evaluation of alternatives
