CapMetro makes changes to its bus and rail service three times per year to better serve customers. Service Changes are implemented in January, May/June and August and routinely require changes to CapMetro’s informational signage at bus stops, rail stations and other transit facilities. Special service changes may also be inserted at various times during the year based on new product introduction. Signage is printed currently to provide updated wayfinding for customers. The introduction of new shelters, stations, vandalism, and special events may also require the printing of new signage. Placards, which are placed inside vehicles, are printed throughout the year to inform customers of a variety of information. CapMetro seeks a qualified bidder to provide professional printing services for these items for one base year with two option years.

Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority in Austin, Texas is using this solicitation to procure signage work. Public buyers typically advertise this kind of work as an Invitation for Bids (IFB), Request for Proposals (RFP), or Request for Qualifications (RFQ), depending on whether the selection is price-driven, qualifications-driven, or both. Bidders responding to a signage solicitation in Texas 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 Texas so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a bid for this IFB, review the full solicitation documents for Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the June 22, 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. Direct questions about scope or specifications to raymond.lalley@capmetro.org before the agency's question cut-off date. Vendors that have not previously contracted with Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority should confirm whether registration on the agency's vendor system is required to be eligible for award.
