Specialized ADA Transportation Service

The government authority in El Monte, California, requires specialized ADA paratransit services to fulfill federal mandates. This dial-a-ride type service must accommodate individuals with disabilities who are unable to utilize the existing fixed-route transportation system. The agency seeks a partner to manage the required eligibility process for determining passenger access to these services. The scope of work includes providing all necessary documentation to ensure full compliance with ADA regulations. The selected provider must adhere to a transition policy during the final 90 days of the contract to ensure service continuity. All performance of work occurs offsite, though the service area remains centered in El Monte. Bidders must be organizations based within the United States to meet eligibility requirements. The agency intends to award a contract with a performance period of five years. While the agency has not disclosed a specific budget, it is requesting formal proposals to determine the cost of service. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for June 16, 2026, to discuss the project requirements. The agency requires all formal questions regarding the solicitation to be submitted by June 30, 2026. Evaluation will focus on the ability to meet federal mandates and manage the eligibility determination process effectively.
