INTRODUCTION Clemson University, (hereinafter University) invites qualified Contractors to submit responses to its Request for Proposals (RFP) to provide University Campus Transit Services for students, faculty, staff and authorized visitors. While our desire is for a “closed door” transit service, we understand that might not be feasible for all potential Offerors and will consider open door service with proposal to include appropriate measures to manage costs for non-University riders as required. The successful Contractor will provide a safe, customer-focused, cost-effective, efficient and reliable campus transit service that supports the University’s mission, goals and objectives. It is anticipated that the term of this agreement will be seven (7) years beginning on January 1, 2018. Dates provided are estimates only. Any resulting contract will begin on the date specified in the notice of award. Offerors should be very clear in their proposal to commit to their ability to start the contract on the date anticipated, and if that is not possible, to detail the earliest possible start date. See clause entitled “Term of Contract - Effective Date/Initial Contract Period”. Clemson University is one of the nation’s top public research universities. With its main campus located on 1,400 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, along the shores of Hartwell Lake, in Clemson, SC, Clemson’s retention and graduation rates rank amount he highest in the country for public universities. Current enrollment for the 2016-17 school year is 18,395 undergraduates and 4,411 graduate students supported by more than 5000 faculty and staff. The recently completed 2020Forward Strategic plan provided for a reorganization and clear strategic goals for Clemson to continue to be one of the nation’s leading public research universities. The University has had an agreement with Clemson Area Transit (CAT), which is the City of Clemson’s public transportation system, to operate a public transit system for the benefit of Faculty, Staff and Students of Clemson University. This agreement has been in place for twenty (20) years and University procurement regulations require university campus transit service to be competitively bid in 2017. The current agreement is scheduled to expire June 30, 2017; however, there is a possibility that the agreement may be extended for a short period to allow a new agreement to begin during a semester break. The University does not desire, nor do we see a feasible way to start a new contract in the middle of a semester. This timetable would allow the new agreement to take effect at an appropriate time within the academic calendar and help minimize any potential detrimental impact to the faculty, staff and students accessing the University campus transit system. Currently, CAT operates approximately 27,155 hours annually. Additionally, CAT also provides the University with Football ADA service 2 Scope of Work – Campus Transit Services Rev 1. RFP#86254219 (800 hours) and University Orientation shuttle service (700 hours) as well as other Special Event Services (1,300 hours). The transit services to be addressed by Contractors proposing under this RFP are specified in Section VI, Technical Requirements. Please note that a Contractor must bid on the fixed route (Lot A) portion of the contract and may bid on both the fixed route (Lot A) and special event services (Lot B) as specified in Section VI, Technical Requirements. This RFP is part of a competitive procurement process, which helps to serve the University's best interest. It also provides Contractors with a fair opportunity for their services to be considered. This RFP provides Contractors with a formal and unrestrictive opportunity for their services to be considered. This process should not be confused with the process of competitive sealed bidding. The latter process is usually used where the goods and services being procured can be precisely described and price is generally the predominant factor. With competitive negotiation, however, price is not required to be the determinative factor, although it may be, and the University has the flexibility to negotiate with the successful Contractor to arrive at a mutually agreeable relationship. COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY: Clemson University, consistent with state and federal law, seeks to optimize business opportunities for small and minority-owned businesses. The University will seek to do business with firms and organizations that demonstrate and embrace diversity within their programs and policies. Through these efforts, Clemson University will actively pursue its goal of building a more reflective marketplace for the community within the State of South Carolina. II.

This means that universities across the country must accommodate these new students, their vehicles, and local transportation needs. Campus setting and ambiance is a treasured quality on a university campus resulting in the approval of additional surface lots and parking garages being difficult or restricted. To combat the increased number of single occupancy vehicles, universities are developing and encouraging the use of multi- modal transportation by providing pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation facilities along with providing users with the information necessary to make the optimal modal choice (Boyles, 2006).

For some, this may mean access to resources to help them through difficult times, while for others that may mean knowledge of local events and experiences to enhance their time in the area, whether for a short visit or an extended residency. Hopefully, this encourages involvement in all aspects of our community and maybe shed some light on some lesser known groups and organizations in the area. This guide includes resources and organizations in Oconee, Pickens, Anderson, and Greenville counties, which are shown in the map below. Clemson is marked by the City logo on the map, hiding in the bottom corner of Pickens County, right on the border of both Anderson and Oconee counties. (These three counties are collectively known as the Tri-County area.) Clemson is also just a short drive from Greenville, which is a larger, more metropolitan area. The City of Clemson is a university town that provides a strong sense of community and a high quality of life for its residents. University students add to its diversity and vitality.

HISTORY OF CLEMSON The City of Clemson started as the Village of Calhoun. It was originally settled in 1872 before the establishment of Clemson University. The town developed around the railroad tracks and contributed to the agricultural growth that characterized upstate South Carolina. The Town of Calhoun was officially chartered in 1892. In 1886, Thomas Green Clemson, the son-in-law of John C. Calhoun, willed the Calhoun plantation to the State of South Carolina for a school. With classes beginning at the Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1893, the Town’s growth began to gravitate towards the institution as it provided new opportunities for the local population.
