Flagstaff staff begin exploring vendor-run e‑bike and e‑scooter program, fees and RFP process
Summary
City staff told the advisory committee they are exploring a vendor‑operated shared e‑micromobility program, evaluating fee structures (per device, per ride or flat vendor fees) and planning an RFP review board as the city moves toward posting a request for proposals.
City staff updated the Bicycle Advisory Committee on exploratory work to bring a vendor‑run e‑bike and e‑scooter program to Flagstaff. The city has received outreach from interested vendors and has briefed council; staff said they are closer to defining potential fee structures to offset city management costs and are exploring assembly of an RFP review board.
Staff described fee options under consideration — an annual vendor flat rate, a per‑device fee or a per‑ride fee — and said the next steps include refining program management on the city side and, if directed, posting a request for proposals later in the process. Members asked whether the city has engaged specific companies; staff said the city has been contacted by vendors but has not begun vendor outreach on its own and is still defining program terms.
Next steps: staff will continue work on program structure, fees and an RFP timeline and return to the committee with more detail before posting any formal RFP.
