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, develop an overall project schedule to garner community input, and prepare strategic reports with recommendations and sample ballot language. The scope of work requires the contractor to develop a methodology and polling instrument to capture a statistically valid sampling of registered voters in the service area. This methodology must include a proposal for translation and interpretation services to reach non-English speaking community members. Additionally, the contractor must prepare a detailed written report describing the polling results, tabulating calls or contacts, and identifying any communication barriers encountered during the process. Eligible bidders must perform all work onsite within the United States. The agency will accept digital proposals submitted via email or online, and bidders must submit their pricing proposals as the agency has not disclosed a pre-set budget. The contract period will span one year from the date of award. The agency has scheduled a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting for June 08, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 19, 2026. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the submitted methodology, experience, and the proposed cost structure.
