Specifications include, but are not limited to: SDSU and City seek the services of an experienced vendor who will create and operate a private escooter share system across these participating communities. The objective of this RFP is to provide the participating communities with a safe, accessible, user-friendly, and equitable e-scooter share system that allows for seamless operations across the boundaries of the campus and community. Services shall include supplying equipment and providing operational services for SDSU and City. Vendor may seek private sponsorship and or advertising, according to the policies of SDSU and the bylaws of the City. Vendor will keep all revenue from the system. While this procurement will facilitate coordination and ensure that there is consistent regulations and standards of operating across both communities, due to the varying demographics, organizational structures, laws, regulations, and rules across the communities, certain elements of e-scooter share system operations may be left to local discretion or requirements. This may include but is not limited to: • Holding a contract with the selected vendor SDSU and City will have separate contracts with the selected vendor to enforce specific laws, regulations, and rules. • Requesting a parking siting plan SDSU and City reserve the right to require the selected vendor to establish an outdoor parking siting plan in coordination with the campus and municipality to ensure adequate capacity and signage for escooter share system parking. This option shall be exercised by SDSU and City if they designate specific areas for e-scooter parking, rather than permit a true free-floating e-scooter share system. • Wintertime operations SDSU and City have discretion over whether they will continue to remain in operation during winter months. We anticipate between Thanksgiving and SDSU’s spring break e-scooters will not be operated on the SDSU campus or in the City. • Siting e-scooter parking facilities on private property The vendor may work with interested private property owners to site e-scooter parking facilities on private property.
