We encourage innovators, civic hackers, programmers, and other businesses to share
ideas and concepts through our unsolicited proposal process.
What is an Unsolicited Proposal?
An unsolicited proposal is a written offer that is submitted to WeGo for the purpose of
developing a partnership or concept which is not in response to a current procurement
solicitation.
An unsolicited proposal meets the following characteristics:
- Be innovative and practical;
- Have potential to significantly reduce WeGo operating and/or capital expenses for a service WeGo currently provides, or for a new service;
- Be independently originated and developed by the proposer;
- Be prepared without WeGo’s supervision, endorsement, direction, or direct involvement; and
- Contain sufficient details regarding the benefits for WeGo.
Unsolicited proposal is a concept that uses innovative but efficient solutions to offer
added value, lower operating expenses and/or avoided capital expenses to our regional
transportation system.
An unsolicited proposal is not an offer or alternative for property or services that the
WeGo is currently procuring through competitive methods. An unsolicited proposal is
not a policy or operating procedure recommendation.
Who Should Submit?
WeGo welcomes proposals from any vendor with technical and financial resources to
provide the services proposed or the ability to contract with the WeGo and/or serve as a
partner in a contract resulting from the adoption of the proposal. WeGo encourages and
welcomes innovative submissions from private sector businesses (including startups
and small businesses), labor unions, municipalities, academic institutions, philanthropic
foundations and non-profit organizations.

All Conceptual Proposals shall be submitted to WeGo by email to
[email protected] using the submittal form. WeGo may request more
detailed information from the proposer as a component of the evaluative process. After
a full review, WeGo will decide whether to forego the proposal, to proceed to a sole
source agreement, to test a pilot program, or to pursue a competitive solicitation based
upon the proposal.
