DTC seeks proposals to develop a systematic approach to Post Pandemic Planning for the future needs of the DPM system. The primary objective being to provide a planning guide and process document that assists policy makers, operations, decision makers, and the general public in understanding the vision and direction of DTC over the next 5 years. The document will be flexible, organic, and dynamic with respect to its contents and have the ability to change due to the business, economic, and political climate. The document will be consistent with the RTA Master Transit Plan but will specifically address the needs of the DPM system. The DPM is unique in design and capital requirements than traditional rail or bus. The Plan will also have a keen focus on the New Mobility Options for travel and will incorporate these concepts into the plan as well. The plan will also analyze the impact of the closing of a Fare Free system on DTC ridership and services. The document will utilize and emphasize orthogonal thinking. Therefore, a Project Schedule reflecting this outcome and how the proposer plans on achieving it shall be submitted with the response. Proposers shall clearly detail and include the number of professionals, manpower, hours and days of work in their proposals.
