Scope
Charlottesville Area Transit (CAT) is seeking design services for a new, purpose‑built maintenance facility to support a growing and modernizing fleet, including Diesel, Battery Electric Buses (BEBs) and future Fuel Cell Electric Buses. The project site, an undeveloped 3‑acre parcel adjacent to existing CAT operations, provides a unique opportunity to create an efficient, resilient, and forward‑looking maintenance hub. The intent of this RFP is to engage a successful offeror that is capable of delivering innovative, cost‑conscious, and highly functional solutions for a facility that will serve CAT’s operational needs for decades. Vendors will help refine and update existing conceptual plans, accommodate growing program demands (including additional maintenance bays and expanded parking), and integrate the specialized infrastructure required for zero‑emission technologies. The designer will play a central role in supporting clear communication, structured collaboration, and well‑coordinated design milestones throughout preconstruction. CAT seeks a firm whom are inspired by the challenge of shaping a next‑generation maintenance environment—one that improves workflow efficiency, enhances safety, reduces lifecycle costs, and positions Charlottesville to meet the mobility expectations of the future. The project offers the chance to transform an underutilized parcel into a state‑of‑the‑art transportation asset that will directly support reliable service for the community and advance regional sustainability goals.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
