Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City is requesting proposals from professional design service firms that have a qualified and experienced team to provide excellent design services for appropriate crossing improvements. Improvements may include installing crosswalks, constructing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps, and installing signage and other improvements, including Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB), if considered necessary. Exact locations and improvements will be finalized during the design phase following outreach to the community and the Parking and Public Improvements Commission (PPIC). Design service firms that would like to propose for this project will have to submit innovated recommendations to the City. Below are the proposed improvements: • Manhattan Avenue at 36th Street – Install crosswalks at north and south legs, construct ADA compliant ramps at all corners with signage. • Valley Drive at Flournoy Road – Install crosswalk at south leg, construct ADA compliant ramps at both corners with signage. Coordination with City staff and communities needs to be established prior to completion of the conceptual design. Also, all proposed improvements need to be appropriate based on the proximity to the adjacent properties. The intent is to hire a Consultant to design the above mentioned crosswalks and upon satisfactory and timely completion of plans, specifications and estimates, the consultant’s contract may be amended to continue providing similar services for different crosswalks the following years. The project is funded by Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 11 State-Only Funding for $40,000 for the design phase. The consultant shall be familiar with and satisfy the HSIP funding requirements for State funded project.
