Public Opinion Polling Consulting Services

The Regional Transportation District in Denver, Colorado is seeking public opinion polling consulting services to address its current financial challenges and explore potential options for additional revenue. The agency needs to understand its current revenue sources, budget, past public opinion polling, and previous ballot efforts, while also assessing the perceptions of the agency, its board, and management. To solve these challenges, the selected contractor must conduct a community needs assessment by meeting with senior staff and board members, and by reviewing existing community and customer survey results. The scope of work requires the development of an overall project schedule to gather community input on revenue options. The agency requests the preparation of reports containing strategic recommendations and multiple options for specific potential ballot language. Additionally, the project covers the development of a polling methodology and instrument to capture a statistically valid sampling of registered voters in the service area, including a proposal for translation and interpretation services for non-English speaking community members. The agency also requires a detailed written report of the polling results, including a tabulation of contacts made and any identified communication barriers. Eligible bidders must perform the work onsite and must be located onshore within the United States. Bidders may submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for budget proposals to determine the cost. The contract period will span one year. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting will take place on June 8, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 19, 2026.
