Transportation Maintenance Fee Study Services

The Town of Erie, Colorado is seeking a vendor to conduct a transportation maintenance fee study and assist with the implementation of a new transportation maintenance fee. The agency needs to ensure that the proposed fee on persons or properties is reasonably designed to cover the overall costs of its transportation maintenance activities. This initiative aims to solve funding gaps by establishing a dedicated revenue source supported by a technically sound fee structure and community consensus. The scope of work covers a comprehensive needs assessment, fee design, community outreach, and the final required fee study. The selected vendor must produce a fee design technical document that includes an operations and maintenance needs assessment, along with cost estimates for both implementation and ongoing operations. Additionally, the agency requires the development of content for a communications strategy and stakeholder solicitation to explain the purpose of the fee and the use of its revenue to property owners, employers, and residents. The scope also demands an estimate for integrating the new fee into the existing utility billing process. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency allows the performance of the work to occur offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget. The agency must receive all questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 2, 2026.
