Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Western Sarpy Transportation Enhancement Plan (WE-Step) Consortium made up of the cities of Gretna, Papillion, and Springfield together with Sarpy County is soliciting consulting qualifications for professional services to prepare a transportation strategic plan for western Sarpy County, Nebraska. The WE-Step Plan will build on the transportation plans of the County and cities and provide a unifying framework for the coordination of future arterial transportation improvements in the county. Key considerations include: future growth projections, socio-economic conditions, land use, traffic demand, connectivity, roadway design, safety, transit, alternative modes, pedestrian amenities, environmental considerations, costs, and measures of success. The plan should include an implementation program and ensure that the final recommendations are inclusive, equitable, sustainable, safe, affordable, and attractive. Public engagement and input will be an essential part of the study necessary to achieve these results. The WE-Step Consortium is seeking a firm with documented expertise and experience in large-scale and county-level transportation planning to provide recommendations for the Study Area (Appendix A). The Study Area boundary includes the Sarpy County jurisdiction and the extra-territorial jurisdictions of Gretna, Papillion, and Springfield in an area generally west of 60th Street and south of Schram Road. It also includes a “transition zone” of generally 1/8th mile along arterial streets within the boundary of each city’s jurisdiction within the Study Area.
