Summit County Government (“County”) is soliciting bids from qualified contractors to provide services for the following:

The Transit Department is seeking quotes from a qualified contractor to provide fixed route transit services for the Swan Meadow Village Shuttle Service. The anticipated contract between the County and the selected contractor (“Contractor”) will be administered by the Transit Department.

The Contractor will be expected to provide exclusive fixed transportation services for the designated subject area adhering to a fixed schedule predetermined (and subject to change) by the Transit Department. The Contractor will also be required to provide detailed ridership information to the Transit Department monthly that will include (at minimum); number of passengers, by month, week, day, hour and boarding at stop location/s. The County will utilize the ridership report information for evaluation of future service plans and program success.

The Contractor will be expected to provide printed schedule information for passengers in each vehicle and provide verbal assistance to the public regarding all questions related to the Swan Meadow Village Shuttle and other transit services provided by the County under the brand of Summit Stage. The Contractor will also be expected to wait at the Summit Cove Bus Stop as needed to make coordinated connections with each of the Summit Stage buses while ensuring that the Swan Meadow Village Shuttle arrives at the next scheduled stop on time.

Contract Term is anticipated to be from: December 1, 2023 – December 1, 2024. Transportation hours of operation are expected to be for approximately 19 hours per day from approximately 6:00am to 1:00am daily.

Contractor will be expected to dedicate at least 2 shuttle vehicles with passenger carrying capacity of not less than 12 and not more than 15 which are ready to enter into active service each day while only 1 vehicle will actually be in service at any given time. This ensures redundancy in the inevitability of unexpected breakdowns.

In case of a vehicle breakdown or staffing vacancy, the Contractor will be expected to continue the Swan Meadow Village Shuttle service with no break in service lasting longer than 1 hour.
