BACKGROUND AND PROPOSED CONTRACT SCOPE SUMMARY

As Lead Planning Agency (LPA), the City of Greenville and the Greenville Area Metropolitan Planning

Organization have been awarded grant money through the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant program to develop

a comprehensive safety action plan. This safety action plan aims to create safer roadway network for both

pedestrians and motor vehicles. This will be done primarily through the completion of the federal requirements

set forth by the SS4A program guidelines, as well as serve as a natural extension of the current Metropolitan

Transportation Plan (MTP) and Active Transportation Plan (ATP). The resulting document will create a map

which will highlight the MPO’s high injury crash network for both motor vehicles, as well as one for pedestrians

and bicyclists. This will be done through utilizing public input and various data and mapping metrics within the

planning area. Furthermore, once the High Injury Network (HIN) maps are developed the plan will include a

period for identifying, constructing, and measuring/reporting quick build projects at multiple sites around the

planning area. The data collected from these quick build sites will inform the plan, as well as provide proof of

concepts for bettering pedestrian and bicyclist safety. Data from the demonstration projects will also be used to

create a list of projects located in the high injury network that would reduce the number of serious injury/fatal

crashes. This list of projects will then be prioritized through several different metrics, defined within the scope of

work. The planning area for the MPO is indicated on this map:

http://www.greenvillenc.gov/home/showdocument?id=760

The plan should*:

• Consider the current updated Metropolitan Transportation Plan, as well as the Active Transportation Plan.

• Review and analyze current crash data and set vision zero targets within the MPO boundary.

• Consider new and current developments within the MPO planning area in terms of roadway

improvements, bicycle and pedestrian connections, transit systems, future rail development, and aviation

expansion.

• Incorporate all other Greenville Urbanized Area adopted Plans.

• Establish High Injury Networks for the MPO Planning Area (Motor Vehicles and Pedestrian/Bicyclist).

• Comply with 13 USC 134, 49 USC 53, 23 CFR Part 450, MAP-21, FAST ACT and all other Federal and

State requirements.

• Evaluate the multimodal systems for including but not limited to:

o Crash Data and Levels of Service

o Existing Sidewalks, Shared Us Pathways, Bike Lanes, Parks, and Greenways

o Bus Routes & Facilities

• Identify projects within the high injury network that improve safety.

• Construct, and Measure identified quick build sites within the MPO for an established time period.

• Collect data from the quick build projects in accordance with SS4A reporting requirements.

• Utilize the data within the plan and collected from the demonstration activities to create a list of projects

within the high injury network.

• Prioritize the safety projects through several different metrics, defined within the scope of work.

*the above list should be considered a minimum, with the expected Plan accomplishments exceeding the above

list (for further detail see Section Scope of Work).

INTRODUCTION

A. Information

The City of Greenville is requesting LOI’s from qualified consultants for the Greenville MPO

Comprehensive Safety Action Plan.

This request for LOI’s is being issued by the MPO Division of the Engineering Department of the City.

Unless otherwise directed, all communications regarding this RFLOI should be submitted in writing to the

MPO Division via email at jrashko@greenvillenc.gov.

Any revisions to this RFLOI will be issued and distributed as addendum. Consultant are encouraged to

submit any questions or items for clarification in writing to the above mentioned email address.

B. Background

The Greenville MPO applied for, and was awarded, a SS4A planning and demonstration grant. The

purpose of this is to develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan for the MPO. In addition to the

development of a plan, the demonstration aspect includes the construction and measuring of quick-build

style demonstration activities. These quick builds are to be constructed and reported on for the purpose of

informing the recommendations of the plan. The application covers the entire Metropolitan Planning Area,

Including the City of Greenville, Town of Winterville, Town of Ayden, Village of Simpson, and the

extraterritorial jurisdiction of Pitt County.

According to the latest census data, the study area has a population of approximately 161,800 residents,

and the Greenville Urban Area MPO (GUAMPO) region encompasses over 188 square miles. Crash data

from NCDOT’s Traffic Safety Unit data indicate that 78 fatal crashes and 284 serious injury crashes

occurred within GUAMPO’s planning region between 2017-2021 (5-year average of 9.64 deaths per

100,000 people), resulting in a 1.53 fatality rate per 100 motor vehicle miles traveled (MVMT), is higher

than the 1.33 statewide fatality rate per 100 MVMT.

On May 11, 2023, the Greenville City Council approved a resolution supporting the city’s participation in

the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, prioritizing transportation safety within the city and region. This

Comprehensive Safety Action Plan will advance these priorities by identifying a range of strategies to serve

as demonstration projects to improve safety for all road users.

C. Intended Boundaries

The Greenville MPO Comprehensive Safety Action Plan will encapsulate the entire MPO boundary,

including the city of Greenville, the Town of Winterville, the Town of Ayden, the Village of Simpson, and

the MPO’s unincorporated boundaries within Pitt County.

SCOPE OF WORK

The City of Greenville is soliciting LOI’s for the services of a firm/team for the following contract scope of work:

PROPOSED CONTRACT SCOPE

The City of Greenville and the Greenville Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization shall provide all

available, existing, and pertinent documentation and data to the selected consultant. The consultant will

schedule, coordinate, and make all necessary arrangements for meetings conducted by the consultant or in

partnership with City and GUAMPO during the course of the project. This scheduling and coordination will make

every effort to ensure that no discrimination occurs with the timing of public forums, meetings, and hearings.

The consultant will take a lead role in all meetings, with GUAMPO staff assuming a supporting role during this

period.

A detailed Scope of Work is denoted the Tasks Descriptions below. Generally, the Consultant shall perform all

necessary tasks to adhere to the guidelines and reporting requirements put forth by Safety Action Plans outlined

for the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Planning and Demonstration Grant Opportunity. This includes the

development of a comprehensive safety action plan, the supplementing of said safety action plan with eligible

planning activities, and the carrying out of demonstration activities. The demonstration activities must adhere to

measurement and reporting requirements in outlined both within the scope of work, as well as meet federal

reporting requirements associated with the SS4A grant. The work of the Consultant must satisfactorily complete

the project in compliance with the current planning requirements of the FHWA.

Task 1. Project Management

Project management will include work necessary for communication and completion of the project tasks on time

and within the set budget. The Consultant must prepare a project work plan and project schedule within 1 week

of Notice to Proceed. A project kickoff meeting will be held with the Consultant and the Client within 2 weeks of

the Notice to Proceed. The Consultant will be expected to hold monthly coordination calls with the Client

throughout the duration of the plan’s development.

The Consultant and the Client will work closely with the steering committee, which will include the traffic safety

task forces in Greenville as well as the vision zero task force in Winterville. The Client will collect information

provided by the task forces to guide the development of the plan. Additionally, the consultant will be expected to

provide meeting agendas, presentations, materials, facilitation, and summary documentation for all meetings

associated with the development of the plan.

The consultant will provide invoices in the standard format that contains the necessary information for federal

invoicing. Invoices will also be accompanied by a cover letter which highlights the work done within the time

period of the sent invoice.

The Consultant will be expected to present to the TCC and TAC a minimum of two times each; once for a status

update presentation during the plan’s preparation and once during the plan’s consideration for adoption.

Consultant will prepare all necessary meeting materials, including handouts and presentations about the

comprehensive safety action plan for the TAC and TCC meetings

Task 2. Public Involvement and Participation

Effective and comprehensive engagement is vital to the development of this plan. The Consultant will plan and

facilitate a robust engagement process with the public and relevant stakeholders throughout the various stages

of the plan. Consultant will work with the Client to develop a steering committee which will meet quarterly to

provide feedback.

Additionally, the Consultant will lead and develop the materials and facilitation of a robust public engagement

process for the plan. The engagement process is envisioned to include 3 phases, and will consist of the following

items:

• Online survey – The Consultant will prepare an online survey to coincide with the phases of public

engagement. The Consultant will identify the most appropriate survey instrument, develop survey

content, and summarize feedback received.

• Pop-up meetings – The Consultant will prepare for and facilitate 4 in-person pop-up meetings over the

life of the plan’s development, which will occur at festivals or community events. 3 meetings are expected

to occur within the first 2 phases of public engagement. GUAMPO staff will identify potential venues for

pop-up meetings. The Consultant will prepare content for each meeting, assist GUAMPO staff with

facilitating the meetings, and summarize feedback.

• Stakeholder meetings – The Consultant will conduct 5 stakeholder meetings to gather information from

key interest groups. Each meeting will be no longer than 90 minutes. GUAMPO staff will be responsible

for identifying the stakeholders. The Consultant will be responsible for facilitating these meetings, either

in-person or virtually.

• Public engagement summary – The Consultant will summarize feedback received during all phases of

the public engagement process.

The approach should be mindful of SS4A planning engagement requirements. While actual engagement

activities may be delivered by any combination of consultant staff, MPO staff, regional partners, or others, the

consultant would be expected to develop all applicable materials for public involvement.
