Please itemize in your bid/proposal (by type/design/printing/mailing/data gathering/data analysis per 100 persons) the estimated cost of additional surveys focused on the issue of transit/transportation.  The TAC/Grand/Jackson Counties have not  considered that these surveys be performed as a separate project, with its own scope and budget.   

6.            CREATING A ëCOMMON VISION.'            Section IV.B., Task 1, states that the TAC will establish the specific goals and objectives for transit in the study area and the TDP.  Commencement of this process awaits the TDP contract award and the assistance of the consultant [team] selected.  The process of data collection will proceed simultaneously with establishing community transit goals and objectives.  (But it should be noted that the tasks described in the RFP set out very rough outlines of transit goals and objectives.)
