Government Authority located in Nashville, Tennessee; USA based organization looking for expert vendor for transit origin‐destination survey services.
[A] Budget: Looking for Proposals
[B] Scope of Service:
(1) Vendor needs to provide transit origin‐destination survey services to the government authority located in Nashville, TN.
- This Survey will include an on‐to‐off count and an on‐board survey to collect transit passenger information by route and geographical area for on, off, origin, boarding, alighting, destination, trip purpose, access and egress modes, and demographic information
- The survey data must endure rigorous Quality Assurance and Quality Control checks to ensure its usefulness for activity‐based regional travel demand forecasting model,
- Develop Work Plan, Schedule, and Data Needs:
- A narrative description and list of each task/sub‐task to be completed, identifying the consultant’s
intended approach, methods, practices, personnel, and other resources that will be used to achieve
the desired project outcomes
- A project management plan inclusive of an outline of responsibilities of the members of the consultant team and the client (the Agency)
- Key milestones and dates inclusive of a detailed implementation schedule that identifies how project activities will be sequenced, when key milestones will be reached, and when deliverables will be submitted
- A list of data needs for the survey
- A list of data the consultant will need from the Agency in order to successfully execute the project
- Data validation strategies, as appropriate,
- Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan:
- Ensure the collection of enough samples to assure that the statistical sampling goals defined in the Survey Sampling Plan in Task III (3) are met
- Ensure the completeness of the data collected from individual riders. This element of the plan should clearly define a complete sample
- Approach data collection and sampling to ensure an adequate representation of short‐trips, other under‐ represented populations, and for overcoming other types of non‐response bias
- Relate to the data collection schedule
- Evaluate the quality of the collected data within the timeframe of the data collection period. Allow for the collection of more samples if the desired quality and completeness of responses is not initially met
- Sampling Plan:
- The consultant will develop a Sampling Plan for the study.
- Survey Design:
- The consultant will develop the survey design for the study with input from the Agency Project Manager and Project Team
- Develop Survey Management Plan:
- Hiring plan for surveyors
- Training plan for surveyors
- Day‐to‐day management plan
- Staffing and dispatch plan to ensure the adequate number and coverage of surveyors in the field each day
- Plan for training surveyors
- The plan for tracking (daily) and reporting (weekly) surveyor performance in the field
- The plan for remediation of poor surveyor performance
- Survey Administration:
- The consultant will conduct the data collection associated with the study. The work in this task
includes: the in‐field data collection for the on‐to‐off count, the development of the final sampling frames and allocations for the full on‐board survey, the administration of the pilot survey, the administration of the full on‐board origin‐destination survey, and attitudinal survey
- Data Processing:
- As the surveys are collected, the QA/QC checks should be completed to verify the accuracy and completeness of each record. Surveys which appear to be complete because they represent reasonable trip paths will be reviewed to ensure that information about the respondent’s household meets logical tests as well. The consultant shall initially identify the tests which are believed to be sufficient to create a truly complete survey record
- Data Cleaning:
- The Consultant will analyze the cleaned and geocoded survey records prepared. The Agency requires meaningful information on time of day, access mode, egress mode, travel mode, purpose, route sequence and market segment of the surveyed riders
- Data Analysis:
- Once the data is cleaned and validated, the next step is to analyze the transit rider characteristics. Basic tabulations will be developed using the expanded on‐board survey data. The tabulations will include, at a minimum, Agency’s bus trips by mode of access, mode of egress, purpose, and time‐of‐day.
- Prepare Final Data File and Report:
- Prepare the final data files on a USB external drive. The final database should include the weighted,
verified, geo‐coded transit trip records as well as a full data dictionary to define all fields. Additionally, a copy of the raw files should be provided. Electronic files are acceptable if survey records were recorded using an electronic device, however where hard copy surveys are used,
[C] Eligibility:
