Shared Micromobility Data Management

The City of Columbus Public Service Department is seeking a consultant to design, build, and operate a web‑based data‑management platform for the city’s shared micromobility program. The platform must ingest, store, and visualize data conforming to the Mobility Data Specification (MDS) and General Bike Share Feed (GBSF) standards, and support emerging vehicle types such as light‑utility vehicles, robotaxis, and personal delivery devices. The consultant will be responsible for system architecture, integration with existing city data sources, forecasting and analytics, and ongoing data governance. Proposals are due electronically by 10:00 AM on 18 Nov 2026. No pre‑proposal meeting is scheduled; a scope‑kickoff meeting will occur roughly two weeks after submission. The city expects the selected vendor to attend that meeting and may designate an alternate if needed. • Design and implement a cloud‑based platform compliant with MDS & GBSF. • Provide data ingestion pipelines for current and future micromobility fleets. • Deliver forecasting models and dashboards for usage, safety, and operational planning. • Support integration of emerging technologies (light‑utility, autonomous, delivery devices). • Offer data‑governance, quality assurance, and documentation services. • Participate in post‑award scope‑meeting and ongoing collaboration with city staff.
