Electric Bike Share System Pilot

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

SPECIFICATIONS OF GOODS AND SCOPE OF SERVICES

The City of Surrey (the “City”) is seeking proposals to finance, design, implement, supply, operate, maintain, manage and market an electric bike share system as a pilot project for a period of two years. The objective of the pilot project is to increase the use of cycling as a primary mode of transport for shorter trips to key community destinations that complements and supports walking and transit.

This project’s desired result is a self-sufficient, independently operated bike share system requiring no direct financial contributions or subsidies from the City of Surrey. This pilot project will initially be for E-Bikes and E-Scooters will not be incorporated as part of Proponent’s share system until approved by the City in writing.

As the City is not currently eligible for E-Scooter operations, E-Scooters will not be allowed initially for this pilot agreement. The City would be interested in receiving details from Proponents on E-Scooters should the City’s eligibility status change over the course of the pilot Agreement. The City may incorporate information provided by Proponents on E-Scooters as an optional service for future consideration, should the City’s eligibility change, and the City later permits E- Scooters with the successful Proponent for inclusion into their operations. E-Scooters are included into the below requirements if Proponents elect to provide E-Scooters into their proposal for future consideration as an optional service to the City.
