The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA): Notice to interested parties: The MBTA has released a Due Diligence #28-24 for the Fairmount Line Battery EMU Service Pilot. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) announces its intent to Accept a Best Value Offer to contract for the services described within the posting with Keolis Commuter Services pending results of the Notice of Intent ("Notice"). The MBTA has received a Best Value Offer through its Innovation Proposal program to deliver 20-minute frequency decarbonized service on the Fairmount Line.

If, after the posting deadline has passed, interest is generated by the Notice, the MBTA will review all Responses and will determine whether they will: (i) withdraw the notice and not accept the Offeror’s offer (and cancel the Notice of Intent) or (ii) accept the offer from the Offeror or (iii) accept an offer from another vendor offering a comparable or better value than the Offeror in their Response or (iv) accept the offer from the Offeror and from any other offerors offering similar value in their response.
