TOR for Detailed Project Report for BRT system

8th August 2014 by Leave a Comment

Mass rapid transit, complemented by city bus services, forms the transport backbone of every successful city. More and more cities across the world are implementing bus rapid transit (BRT) systems to quickly and effectively expand their mass rapid transit services. After carrying out a pre-feasibility study, the next key step is to prepare a detailed project report highlighting the proposed BRT system’s detailed service planning and infrastructure design.

This document outlines the scope of work for the appointed consultants for preparing a detailed project report for a BRT system.

TOR for Empanelment of Urban Designers for Street Design

6th August 2014 by Leave a Comment

Well-designed streets are a critical element of a safe and efficient mobility system. At present, poor design and management of streets in cities are contributing to increased congestion, pollution, road safety risks, and maintenance requirements. Going forward, City corporations may seek to establish a network of streets that offer convenience and safety to all users. They will implement streets with high quality walking and cycling facilities, improved access to public transport, organised parking, and streamlined junctions.

A key aim of the Street Design project is to ensure equitable allocation of road space to walking and cycling—collectively known as “non-motorised transport” (NMT). NMT modes provide basic mobility and affordable transport, and bring significant health and recreation benefits. Improving conditions for NMT reduces the demand for travel by motorised vehicles and associated issues such as pollution and safety. NMT also provides crucial first- and-last mile connectivity to public transport.

RFP to operate city buses

1st July 2014 by Leave a Comment

High quality city bus services are the backbone of urban transport systems. This request for proposals (RFP) for city bus operations is based on a gross cost contracting model, in which the service provider procures, operates, and maintains the buses. The implementing agency provides compensation per kilometre operated. To maintain high quality standards, the implementing agency should monitor the system on a regular basis. Payments are subject to penalties based on any observed shortcomings in the quality of service.

The RFP has been prepared with an intention to invite prospective bidders and to assist them in making their decision of whether or not to submit a proposal. The RFP should be customised per the size of the fleet to be procured, the number of kilometres to be operated, and the types of buses required (e.g., mini-, midi- or regular sized buses).

RFP to install and operate the Cycle Sharing System

16th April 2014 by Leave a Comment

Cycle Sharing Systems provide a low-cost, environmentally friendly mobility option to city residents of any city. Cycle sharing is a flexible system of personalised public transport, which forms a key element in a city’s strategy to expand the use of sustainable transport modes. Cycles will be available in a closely spaced network of fully automated stations. Users can check out cycles at one station and return them to any other station in the network.

This Request for Proposals (RFP) has been prepared to install and operate the Cycle Sharing System. The RFP has been prepared with an intention to invite prospective bidders and to assist them in making their decision of whether or not to submit a proposal.

RFP to install, operate, and maintain vehicle parking system

16th April 2014 by Leave a Comment

Effective parking management is an essential tool to facilitate the efficient use of road space and to ensure free passage for pedestrians, cyclists, public transport, and motorists. In addition, appropriate parking fees can ensure that personal motor vehicle users compensate the city for the use of valuable land on which they park their vehicles.

This Request for Proposals (RFP) has been prepared to implement a modern Parking System to improve on-street parking operations, optimise usage of the available parking supply, and enhance the overall functioning of streets in the city. The new Parking System will employ an information technology (IT) backbone to facilitate greater transparency and efficiency in the collection of parking fees and enforcement operations.

High quality city bus services are the backbone of urban transport systems. This request for expressions of interest (EOI) for city bus operations is based on a gross cost contracting model, in which the service provider procures, operates, and maintains the buses. The implementing agency provides compensation per kilometre operated. To maintain high quality standards, the implementing agency should monitor the system on a regular basis. Payments are subject to penalties based on any observed shortcomings in the quality of service.

The EOI has been prepared with an intention to identify the types of buses that are available in the market, allowing the implementing agency to hone the bus specifications in the subsequent request for proposals (RFP). The EOI should be customised per the size of the fleet to be procured and the types of buses required (e.g., mini-, midi- or regular sized buses).
