Emergency Transportation Services

The City of Philadelphia requires on-demand, scalable, and as-needed emergency transportation services to support its operations. The agency needs to transport vulnerable populations, including unhoused individuals, the elderly, disabled residents, and children, using vehicles that are fully accessible and compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Additionally, the service must transport essential, emergency response, and public safety personnel during crises. The scope of work includes providing stationary vehicles to serve as emergency respite centers for displaced individuals before the city establishes formal shelter facilities. The selected contractor must deliver the requested transportation services within twelve hours of the initial request from the city. Because the hours and locations of work depend entirely on the specific emergency, the contractor must provide all necessary equipment and management services to meet these fluctuating needs. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The contractor will perform the transportation work offsite within the Philadelphia area. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is seeking cost proposals from interested bidders to determine the financial framework of the contract.
