The Regional Transportation District (RTD) is seeking a qualified firm with light rail systems engineering and asset management experience to utilize the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transit Asset Management Systems Handbook (Guidance) to evaluate RTD’s light rail systems asset information against the framework in the Guidance, and to create a set of actionable recommendations for achieving conformance to the Guidance. The evaluation of the present state of information compared to the FTA Guidance shall be referred to as a “gap assessment” in the remainder of this statement of work. The set of actionable recommendations to achieve the quality and completeness of information consistent with the Guidance will be referred to as the “plan.” There will be two deliverables requested of the selected firm: (1) the gap assessment and (2) the plan to achieve compliance to the Guidance. Proposals shall include a description of the gap assessment methodology, including the types of records and physical access that may be necessary to conduct the assessment. Further, proposals shall provide a description of how the selected consultant is likely to develop the plan to achieve asset information that conforms to the Guidance. For the plan portion of the proposal RTD understands that certain aspects of the plan development process may depend on the maturity, quality, and completeness of asset information. However, information necessary to compare and evaluate the proposals will be required. Proposals shall provide sufficient information to evaluate the methodology for conducting the gap assessment and plan.

Regional Transportation District in Denver, Colorado is using this solicitation to procure transportation work. Public agencies typically advertise this kind of work as a Request for Quote (RFQ), with award decisions driven primarily by price among pre-qualified bidders. Bidders responding to a transportation solicitation in Colorado are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.
Federal-aid funding flowing through programs such as the Federal Highway Administration, FEMA, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act brings additional compliance requirements on solicitations like this one, including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy America provisions where applicable, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals set by the issuing agency. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in Colorado so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a quote for this RFQ, review the full solicitation documents for Regional Transportation District's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the June 17, 2026 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause. Confirm how the agency accepts responses — through an electronic procurement portal, as a sealed hard-copy bid, or by email — because the required method varies by agency and a non-conforming submission can be disqualified. Vendors that have not previously contracted with Regional Transportation District should confirm whether registration on the agency's vendor system is required to be eligible for award.
