REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR
PROFESSIONAL PLANNING SERVICES
The City of Aberdeen, South Dakota is accepting proposals from qualified firms for the
following professional planning services.
LOCALLY DEVELOPED, COORDINATED PUBLIC TRANSIT - HUMAN
SERVICES TRANSPORTATION PLAN
The public transit system known as Aberdeen Ride Line (ARL) is owned by the City of
Aberdeen. We provide transportation within a two and a half mile radius to the City of
Aberdeen, South Dakota. We also provide connection service to Jefferson Bus Lines
twice daily, connecting with service to Fargo, North Dakota and Sioux Falls, South
Dakota.
Scope of Work
The scope of work is as follows, but is not limited to:
- Conduct an assessment that identifies public, private, and non-profit entities that
currently provide transportation services to persons with disabilities, older adults, and
people with low incomes, and the availability of those services;
- Conduct in person meetings with the entities identified above and diverse group of
stakeholders in the community to assess and discuss their transportation operating
costs and barriers/benefits of coordinating with Aberdeen Ride Line.
- Conduct an assessment of transportation needs for persons with disabilities, older
adults, persons with low incomes, and gaps in service. This assessment may be based
on the experiences and perceptions of the planning partners or on more sophisticated
data collection efforts;
- Develop and identify strategies, activities and/or projects to address the identified gaps
between current services and needs, as well as opportunities to improve efficiencies in
service delivery; and language goal setting and measurable results.
- Determine relative priorities for implementation based on resources, time, and
feasibility for implementing specific strategies/activities identified.
- Determine if the development of and a series of meetings with focus groups within the
communities would be of benefit to the development of the overall coordination plan.
Focus groups could provide the opportunity for greater input from a greater number of
representatives including transportation agencies, human service providers and
passengers. Focus groups also create an opportunity to begin ongoing dialogue with
community representatives on key issues, strategies and plans for implementation.
Page 16 of 37 05/09/2019
- Determine if a community survey should be conducted to evaluate the unmet needs
for transportation within a community and/or available resources. These surveys can be
conducted through email or in-person interviews and should be designed with the
sampling, data collection strategies, analysis and projected return rates in mind.
Accessibility considerations should also be considered including alterative formats,
access to the internet, literacy levels and limited English proficiency.
- Determine if there is adequate outreach to allow for maximum participation in the
Coordination Planning process. Recipients shall certify the coordination plan was
developed and approved through a process which included participation by seniors;
individuals with disabilities, representatives of public, private and non-profit
transportation and human services providers and other members of the public.
Adequate outreach strategies and potential participants will vary from area to area.
