Request for Proposals: Loleta Safe Routes to School and Connectivity to Tribal Lands Project
Invitation: The Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) is inviting interested parties to submit proposals for developing a series of technical deliverables for the Loleta Safe Routes to School and Tribal Connectivity Project. HCAOG would like to retain the professional services of a qualified professional and/or firm, or team of professionals and/or firms, to assist in this project. The consultant deliverables will include developing existing conditions mapping and analysis, as needed community outreach and meeting support, and developing a draft and final plan for the project, accompanied by 30% design drawings and cost estimates. HCAOG seeks a qualified consultant team to provide technical, analytical, facilitation, and outreach work to make this project a success.
This project will be led by a team of three local Humboldt County agencies. HCAOG will serve as the primary contracting agency and will be providing general administrative oversight for the duration of the contract. Redwood Community Action Agency (RCAA) will serve as the primary project coordinator and will lead community and tribal outreach and engagement on the project. The County of Humboldt, the agency with jurisdictional charge of the county-maintained roadway network, will provide project support and oversight primarily for the technical deliverables, including the existing conditions mapping and analysis, and the final project report and plans. The selected technical consultant will work closely with RCAA throughout all project deliverables, ensuring the public engagement results are reflected in the final technical deliverables.
Qualified candidates will demonstrate technical, analytical, and comprehensive knowledge in transportation planning with an emphasis on multi-modal network planning and completing projects in small, rural communities led by a diverse group of community stakeholders.
