Budget Estimate (AI):

$5,000,000 – $10,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is estimated to be in the range of $5 million to $10 million per year, based on the annual service hours and the cost of operating and maintaining a fleet of 16 buses. The City of Boulder has recently become a subrecipient to Boulder County for FTA funding to offset HOP operating costs, which may impact the budget. The selected contractor will need to provide a total cost estimate and itemized unit and rate schedule for staff, equipment, and services. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include: - The cost of operating and maintaining a fleet of 16 buses - The cost of providing safe, clean, reliable, customer-oriented, accessible, and professional public transportation services - The cost of complying with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances, including FTA regulations and reporting requirements - The cost of working in partnership with RTD and the City to develop and maintain positive and constructive working relationships with customers
