Guide to contracting for rural and small urban transit systems. Final report
The report presents guidelines and a step-by-step approach to contracting that will assist rural and small urban transit systems with the contracting of transit services. It examines two types of transit contracting: contracting the entire transit service, and contracting an aspect of the operation such as fuel or maintenance. The report emphasizes transit agency contracting with a private company, and includes a discussion of the principles for contracting along with examples of contracting methods, sample documents used by various agencies, and case studies in which rural and small urban system transit managers related their contracting experiences, and a literature review. In addition the report contains guidelines for identifying and assessing contracting opportunities, studying the feasibility of contracting, attracting contractors, developing the contract documents, bidding and awarding contracts, administering contracts, and evaluating the continuation of contracting services.
