Everett Station is the largest multi -modal facility in Snohomish County, <br />with over twenty bus routes serving station patrons across multiple providers. <br />Everett Transit plans to enhance the customer experience at Everett Station by displaying real-time <br />information related to the fixed -route bus services available at Everett Station. \-..11 In.\ <br />Part A describes the requirement for digital information displays. The project includes digital displays <br />inside the Great Hall, outside the Transit Customer Service Center (CSC), and at the bus platforms. In the <br />future, Everett Transit may add similar signage to other locations within the system. The anticipated <br />placement of all display locations is depicted in Appendix 5. <br />Part B describes the need for off -the -shelf content management software. Z he software is intended to <br />work with the digital information displays. <br />Staff identified potential locations outlined in this document. However, suggestions that improve visibility, <br />such as size, layout, or quality of information for customers, given the supplier's experience, will be <br />considered in the award. <br />The City intends to award one contract for Part A and B of the solicitation. <br />2.2 NOTICE OF FUNDING <br />The City of Everett has received federal grant funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to <br />procure digital information displays for use by the Everett Transit. <br />Appendix 6 contains the applicable federal articles and clauses. These articles and clauses are non- <br />negotiable. Suppliers must sign and return the clauses as part of their RFP response per Section 4.1. <br />2.3 SERVICE PROVIDERS AND ROUTES <br />The primary service providers at Everett Station are: <br />• Everett Transit — 10 bus routes <br />• Community Transit — 4 bus routes <br />• Sound Transit — 2 bus routes, 1 train route <br />• Skagit Transit —1 bus route <br />• Island Transit —1 bus route <br />• Greyhound —1 bus route <br />• FlixBus —1 bus route <br />It is anticipated that the primary providers will add routes or new providers will add services for Everett <br />Station patrons.
