BC Transit Board of Directors Policy
Request for Proposal Process to Select Transit Management
Companies
An RFP or a similar structured procurement process, with
a contract term of up to seven years, will be used to
select transit management companies for most transit systems.
In the development of the Request for Proposals process
and the selection of transit management companies, the
following shall apply:
Local government will be provided detailed information
at the beginning of the process and invited to provide
input on local conditions in the RFP document including
the contract term of up to seven years, by resolution
from Council or Regional District Board; The RFP term will continue to be established independently
of the term of a collective agreement; The BC Transit Executive will exercise final approval
of RFP terms & conditions, selection criteria and
management company selection, subject to input from
local government as recommended above; and Information on the RFP process will be communicated
to all stakeholders in advance of each RFP and on the
BC Transit web site.
Notwithstanding Administrative Policy Statement AP-1
(Acquisition and Disposal of Goods, Services and Assets):
transit systems operated by public organizations and
by non-profit societies are excluded from this process; and the term of an existing contract may be extended beyond
seven years, subject to acceptable terms, conditions
and costs associated with the extension and written
agreement by all parties.
Approved May 2000, amended September 2003, May 2006.
