RFQ033920 - Shared Micromobility Data Management

The City of Columbus Public Service Department is seeking a qualified consultant to design, develop, and operate a web‑based platform for managing shared micromobility data. The platform must ingest and standardize data using the Mobility Data Specification (MDS) and General Bike Share Feed (GBSF) standards, provide forecasting and performance analytics, and support emerging vehicle categories such as light utility vehicles, robotaxis, and personal delivery devices. The consultant will also be expected to attend a scope‑setting meeting shortly after the proposal deadline and may need to designate an alternate if the primary project manager is unavailable. • Develop a scalable, cloud‑hosted data management platform compliant with MDS and GBSF. • Provide analytics, reporting, and forecasting tools for the city’s shared mobility program. • Integrate emerging technology data streams (e.g., autonomous vehicles, LUVs). • Offer ongoing support, maintenance, and potential future enhancements. • Work closely with city staff during a post‑proposal scope meeting to finalize deliverables.
