Task 1: Project Initiation & Management Task 1.1: Host a project kick-off meeting and establish regular communication with Town staff to ensure deliverables remain on schedule and within budget. The consultant will organize a kick-off meeting with Town staff to review project expectations, coordination protocols, deliverables, and relevant guidelines (e.g., CA MUTCD, BMP Wayfinding Strategy). The consultant will provide a project management plan outlining communication schedule (e.g., weekly check-ins), milestones, and reporting procedures. All work must comply with applicable codes, regulations, and the Town’s design standards. Deliverable(s): Kick-off meeting summary, project management plan. Task 2: Existing Conditions Analysis Task 2.1: Assess existing bicycle infrastructure and wayfinding elements to identify gaps, opportunities, and constraints. The consultant will review the Town’s bicycle network, including existing and proposed bikeways (Class I, II, III, IV) as outlined in the BMP, and evaluate current wayfinding signage (e.g., directional signs, kiosks, pavement markings). This task includes field observations, stakeholder consultations (e.g., Town staff, Police Department, bicycle advocacy groups), and referencing documents such as the BMP, Danville 2030 General Plan, and Contra Costa Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The analysis should align with the BMP’s wayfinding objectives (e.g., connectivity, simplicity, predictability). Deliverable(s): Existing conditions report, including maps and inventory of current wayfinding elements. Task 3: Selection of Emphasis Area(s) Task 3.1: Develop a detailed framework for deploying wayfinding elements consistent with the BMP’s Wayfinding Strategy. The consultant will propose a deployment framework that specifies the type, design, and placement of wayfinding elements (e.g., kiosks, directional signs, confirmation signs, pavement markings) as defined in the BMP (Pages 106-108, 116-121). The framework must adhere to CA MUTCD standards (e.g., sign design, color, font, placement) and incorporate the BMP’s destination hierarchy (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary; Page 112). The framework should prioritize deployment along high-traffic corridors (e.g., Iron Horse Trail, Downtown Danville) and address accessibility per ADA guidelines. Deliverable(s): Wayfinding deployment framework, including sign family specifications and prioritization criteria. Task 4: Implementation Plan Task 4.1: Create a phased implementation plan with cost estimates, timelines, and maintenance protocols. The consultant will develop a phased implementation plan detailing the installation of wayfinding elements, including timelines, cost estimates, and maintenance schedules. The plan should prioritize routes and destinations identified in the BMP (e.g., Downtown Danville, Mount Diablo State Park, Iron Horse Trail; Page 123) and include strategies for community engagement to ensure local buy-in. The plan must address typical scenarios for sign placement (e.g., on-street intersections, pathway-roadway crossings; Pages 126- 131) and propose materials compliant with CA MUTCD (e.g., high-intensity prismatic aluminum; Pages 118-120). Deliverable(s): Phased implementation plan, cost estimates, maintenance protocols, community engagement strategy. Task 5: Final Wayfinding Deployment Strategy Document Task 5.1: Prepare and finalize a comprehensive deployment strategy document incorporating staff feedback. The consultant will compile all findings, frameworks, and plans into a draft report, including visual mockups of proposed signage (e.g., Figure 49 in BMP) and maps of priority routes (e.g., Figure 58 in BMP). After incorporating comments from Town staff, the consultant will deliver a final report in digital and hard copy formats. Deliverable(s): Draft report, final report (one digital copy, three hard copies).
