Vendors are being asked to design, build, operate, maintain, manage, and market a modern smart micromobility system. This system will enable the public to access shared vehicles from publicly-accessible locations and return them to another location as an extension of the public transportation system and as a new mobility option for residents and visitors to our communities. The ideal system would take advantage of the region's public transportation (notably CTfastrak, CTrail Hartford Line stations, and priority transit corridors) and trail network, where feasible. The Participating Communities plan to employ either a fully-dockless or hybrid micromobility model, wherein dedicated parking zones may be incentivized or mandatory in sensitive areas. Please note, Participating Communities may ask the selected Vendor to support corral installation to expedite program launch and offset expenses. The preferred system will be provided by the Vendor at no cost to the Participating Communities. All consumer pricing (the end user renting a bicycle from the system) should be reasonable, and Participating Communities expect the selected vendor to have strong programming in place to make the service affordable for lower income members of the community. It is expected that special program discounts will be available via an established program offered by the Vendor to provide reduced rates to qualifying individuals.
