HERITAGE COMMUNITY INITIATIVES
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

HERITAGE COMMUNITY INITIATIVES (HERITAGE) has a number of agreements that are expiring in 2021 and, as such, is conducting an open solicitation seeking submissions from organizations providing Professional and Contracted Services in the following areas:

  1. Public Transportation Operations – the operation of fixed route, van shuttles serving the communities of Eastern Allegheny County and connecting with Port Authority of Allegheny County. (Scope of Services provided in Attachment 1)
  2. Financial Auditing – the review of financial statements, documents and internal procedures, preparation of required forms and submittals, and compliance with local, state and federal regulations. (Scope of Services provided in Attachment 2)

This is a proposal submission and must include company credentials, applicable experience, personnel qualifications, value-added services and rates/pricing. While price is important, it is not the only criteria in determining award. Proposals will be evaluated in terms of ability to provide quality service, commitment to HERITAGE, and services that add value to the partnership with HERITAGE.

Proposers are required to adhere to all general requirements in this Request for Proposals (RFP) as well as specific requirements detailed in the Attachments for each specialty area’s Scope of Services.

It is the sole responsibility of each Proposer to understand federal, state and local regulations as applicable, as well as details of the certifications and forms included as Exhibits in this RFP.

SOLICITATION SCHEDULE

The schedule and deadlines for selecting Professional and Contracted Services providers is located in Table 1. Should any dates change during the solicitation process, HERITAGE will notify interested proposers by sending an email or posting changes here:
