Scope of Services Introduction: The Public Works Department of the City of Costa Mesa (City) is requesting proposals for professional engineering services for the design of the City’s Center Street Pedestrian Crossing and Circulation Improvements project.

BACKGROUND

Placentia Avenue is a 4-lane Primary Arterial with a continuous two-way left-turn lane and with directional Class IV separated bicycle facilities (Cycle Tracks). The posted speed limit along Placentia Avenue within the project limits is 35 miles per hour (mph). At the intersection of Placentia Avenue and Center Street, there are retail land uses on the northwest and northeast corners of the intersection and residential properties on the southwest and southeast corners.

Center Street is a 2-lane local residential street with single family homes east of Center Street and multi-family housing west of Center Street. Center Street has on-street parking on both sides of the street and has a posted speed limit of 25 mph.

The purpose of the project is to facilitate pedestrian crossing movements at the intersection of Placentia Avenue and Center Street and further improve bicycle and pedestrian safety.

The City of Costa Mesa would like to procure professional engineering services for the Center Street Pedestrian Crossing and Circulation Improvements (Project) to design a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon Signal (Also known as HAWK signal) on Placentia Avenue at Center Street (Exhibit A). The project includes a new curb extension (bulb-out) at the northwest corner of Placentia Avenue and Center Street to supplement the new crossing. The project will also consist of new signing and striping, slurry seal, new curb ramps, sidewalk, landscaping, parkways and utility relocations (as needed).

Community members have requested the pedestrian crossing improvements, and the City demonstrated the curb extension and facilitated community engagement in March 2026.

Engagement was facilitated in partnership with a local community-based organization (CBO). The community has shown support for the pedestrian crossing improvement. A concept to modify travel for one-way westbound travel on Center Street west of Placentia Avenue was explored with the community during the March 2026 engagement. The change in Center Street circulation was explored to increase on-street parking through angle parking, but the concept does not appear to satisfy emergency response width requirements.

The following description of work defines the general project requirements. Associated tasks and provisions necessary for a complete project, but not specifically defined herein are requested to be addressed in the proposal and undertaken within the proposed “Not to Exceed” contract fee.
