COMMUNITY SHUTTLE SERVICE
Objective of this Request for Proposal (RFP)
The Borough is seeking proposals for the Conshohocken Cab, a Community Shuttle
Service. The shuttle runs throughout the Borough serving Borough residents,
employees, and visitors to provide better access to the downtown restaurants,
businesses, and train stations to ultimately reduce single occupancy vehicle traffic. The
shuttle also provides service for Borough residents, employees and visitors outside of
the Borough in the immediately adjacent municipalities to and from selected locations.
The Borough reserves the right to change the shuttle schedule and pick-up/drop-off
locations, as more specifically set forth in the RFP documents.
Contract dates January 1, 2027 – December 31, 2028, with the option for three one-
year renewal contracts.
A tentative bid award date shall be announced on Conshohocken Borough’s website no
later than 90 days following submission of responses to the RFP. Bidders can contact
Kaitlin Valliere, GVF, at kvalliere@gvftma.com for specifications and information.
All bids must be submitted with a certified check or bid bond in the amount of ten percent
(10%) of the first year of service under the bid, made payable to Conshohocken Borough.
The successful bidder shall be bound to furnish and pay for a performance bond, or post a
letter of credit, in an amount equal to one hundred (100%) of the contract price on bond or
letter of credit forms acceptable to Conshohocken Borough. Where the bidder intends to
use a bond, its bid must be accompanied by a Surety's Consent. The surety/lender on a
performance bond or letter of credit must be licensed to conduct business in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The successful bidder shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants for
employment and employees or agents are treated without discrimination based upon
actual or perceived ethnicity, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, gender,
gender identity or expression, marital and familial status, sexual orientation, mental or
physical disability, use of guide or support animals or mechanical aids, and/or source of
income.
The contract will be awarded to a responsible bidder; however, Conshohocken Borough
reserves the right to reject any and/or all bids and to waive any informality in the
bidding, as permitted by law.

Pennsylvania:
