Scope of Services
It is the intent of the Request for Qualifications for Professional Services (PS) to hire
one (1) Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) pre-qualified consulting
engineering firm (hereinafter Consultant) under work type 3.2 to provide professional
design services for Columbia Avenue Complete Street project from North Hoagland
Boulevard to North Central Avenue, in accordance with Rule Chapter 14-75, Florida
Administrative Code.
It is the intent and purpose of this solicitation to promote completion. It shall be the
proposer’s responsibility to advise the Procurement Services Representative at the
address noted above, if any language, requirements, etc., or any combination thereof,
inadvertently restricts or limits completion or if the requirements stated in this
document limits it to a single source. Such notification must be submitted in writing
and must be received by the Procurement Services Representative no later than ten
(10) calendar days prior to the proposal closing date.
See Exhibit “A” for a detailed Scope of Services including Project Information,
Description, Purpose, Process, Deliverables and other applicable information.
Project Description:
The City of Kissimmee, Florida is proposing to design a complete streets project along
Columbia Avenue from North Hoagland Boulevard to North Central Avenue. Total
project length is approximately 2.3 miles. The limits of this project may also extend up
to 500’ west of Columbia Avenue on Hoagland Boulevard and up to 500’ east of
Columbia Avenue on North Central Avenue. Within the project limits, Columbia
Avenue is fronted on both sides by a mixture of commercial, institutional, recreational,
and multi-family land uses and lies within the Vine Street District.
As part of the City of Kissimmee’s ADA Transition Plan, there were numerous ADA
deficiencies that were identified within the project limits. In addition, the existing
sidewalk is narrow and frequently obstructed or narrowed by trees or utilities creating
an unpleasant walking environment. The City of Kissimmee has adopted a Vision Zero
goal to reduce the number of fatal and serious injury crashes within Kissimmee to zero
by the year 2040. Therefore, this corridor has been identified for a complete street
project that would not only correct existing deficiencies on the corridor but also construct
elements that will increase safety for non-motorized and vulnerable users.
Project scope resulted from the Columbia Avenue Case Study prepared for Metroplan
Orlando by Kittelson and Associates, Inc. in May of 2016.
This project will include reconstruction of the roadway, curb and gutter, sidewalks, curb
ramps, driveways, streetscape elements, and will bring the entire corridor into
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The project will also include
construction of new features to enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety on the corridor
including raised pedestrian refuge islands at strategic locations within the existing
center turn lane, curb extensions at intersections and driveways, reconfiguration of the
cross section to better protect bicycle traffic and improve the pedestrian space, and the
installation of pedestrian oriented decorative lighting.
The project will also include an Interlocal Agreement with the Toho Water Authority
(Toho) for utility adjustments and/or utility replacements as identified by Toho. In
addition, to possible conflict relocations, Toho may assign portions of the existing
system in the Project limits to be upgraded or rehabilitated which may include water,
wastewater, reclaimed water, or gravity sewer. The selected firm will be responsible for
including TOHO adjustments or upgrade plans as part of the City project plans.
This project will utilize a not-to-exceed payment, specific rates of compensation, or a
combination thereof.
