The SS4A Action Plan will provide strategies “to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all”, a.k.a. Vision Zero, as defined by the Vision Zero Network. As a recipient of a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Plan Grant, this plan will be funded in by part by the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary grant program through Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

This RFP is competitive based on respondent qualifications, service capabilities, and other factors to select a consultant that best meets the needs of the municipal agencies. This RFP contains the instructions governing the proposals to be submitted, the materials to be included therein, and the requirements that must be met to be eligible for consideration.

This project will help identify feasible roadway safety improvement projects and strategies within the study area. The final SS4A Action Plan is to be focused on all roadway users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transport users, motorists, personal conveyance and micro mobility users, and commercial vehicle operators.

The consultant will collect data and perform analysis to identify problem areas in the city and develop a high-risk network. From the problems identified the consultant will provide policy solutions and develop prioritized safety projects. These solutions and policies will take into account the City’s currently existing policies and upcoming projects. The consultant will also create an engagement plan that focuses on internal and external communication concerning the SS4A Action Plan. The engagement plan will include engaging the community at large with emphasis on underserved communities, local businesses, and neighboring governing bodies. Finally, the consultant will create a final report detailing their findings, solutions, and an engagement plan.
