Specifications include, but are not limited to: This is a project by the City of Tallahassee (COT), Bus Transit Department (“COT-StarMetro” or “City”) for the procurement of a comprehensive and secure end-to-end fare collection system (“System”) that allows the acceptance and validation of cash, smartcards, mobile tickets, magnetic stripe cards, and institutional partner cards. The City seeks to expand its point-of-sale footprint through the deployment of on-site Add-Value Machines and the use of updated point-of-sale devices. In addition to supplying farebox collection system hardware and software, this RFP requires Respondents to provide technical support to ensure the various technologies deployed will work effectively together. The new system will improve the travel experience for StarMetro riders (“Customers”) by reducing the number of fare mediums and introducing cashless options for frequent riders.
