The successful bidder will receive a 5-year contract to place bus benches in a minimum of 200 locations in the City with the possibility for a 5-year renewal. The RFP allows benches with advertising.

Great, but I will bet they still will not put any benches at the corners where I catch the bus.
Maybe you should start a campaign to get one at your stop? Is it a well-used stop?
It is usually not a very busy bus stop, but then I am usually there during the evening heading for the downtown library when the bus is not very full also. Also it is not on an arterial so not a good advertising spot.
