The City of Cathedral City (City) is requesting proposals from qualified professional engineering consultants, licensed in the State of California, with the intent of entering into an agreement to provide professional engineering design services for two Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 (SB 821) Projects. The Projects include the Perez Road Class IV Separated Bikeways Project (C08673) and the Whispering Palms Trail Class III Bike Routes (C08672). In general, the selected Consultant shall be responsible for the preparation of all improvement plans, preliminary and final cost estimates, and project specifications for this Project. The City of Cathedral City successfully received funding through SB 821 to complete improvements prioritizing bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Cathedral City. City Project No. C08673 will be located on Perez Road from Cathedral Canyon Drive to Date Palm drive. The proposed improvements include the installation of a 7-foot bike lane adjacent to existing curb and a 4-foot horizontal buffer zone with vertical flexible post delineators spaced 10-feet apart on both sides of the road. If funding allows, a six-inches curb may also be installed. The Project will include dashed green colored pavement markings at conflict points with intersection crossings and driveways, a bicycle box for the westbound approach at Cathedral Canyon Drive, bicycle detection and vehicle loop detection at the signalized intersections, pavement improvements to ensure a smooth and level surface for bicycles and new roadway signage and striping. The total design and construction cost for this project is $680,000.00.
