| 
| Hits: 74
The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) is releasing this RFP in order to contract with a software developer that will create a smartphone application (“app”) for use in for-hire vehicles. In the past, developers have created stand-alone apps without coordination with service providers or regulators. The TLC aims to take a new approach by contracting with a developer to create an app with one or more functions that would enhance the City’s for-hire vehicle services and improve both customer and driver experiences.
A contract, if any, will be awarded to the respondent whose proposal is determined by the City to be most advantageous to the City and its license applicants, taking into consideration price and other factors and criteria set forth in the RFP.
PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The initial contract term will be for a period of two (2) years, with a TLC option to renew the contract for three (3) separate one-year terms.
The RFP package is available for pickup beginning Friday, March 16, 2012. The RFP can be obtained from the office of the Agency Chief Contracting Officer between the hours of 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, except holidays, at 33 Beaver Street – 22nd Floor, New York, New York 10004 or via the City Record website: http://www.nyc.gov/cityrecord. (Click on “Visit the City Record On-line (CROL),” then on “Search Procurement Notices.” Search using the PIN listed at the top of this page. You must register with the site in order to download the RFP.) All parties who obtain the RFP package – electronically or otherwise – must provide: the organization’s name, address, telephone number, fax number, a contact person, and that person’s e-mail address.
