Addendum 3 to RFQ 2024-085: Waco MPO Place-Based Safety and Demonstration Projects

The following clarifications are provided in response to questions received regarding

RFQ 2024-085:

1. City/MPO Coordination for Efficient Permitting and Approval

• While the MPO does not have authority over municipal permitting, it will actively support applications for any required permitting and approvals to the greatest extent possible.

2. Coordination with TxDOT on Projects Impacting Their Jurisdiction

• The MPO collaborates closely with TxDOT, including through its Safety Action Task Force, which will confirm concurrence on proposed projects (see Task 6 of the RFQ).

• As demonstration projects are not classified as construction by TxDOT, coordination is anticipated to be positive and straightforward. The MPO will provide support for any necessary TxDOT permitting applications. The MPO will be responsible for coordinating with TxDOT for any NEPA process.

3. Project Timeline and Feasibility

• The project installation timeline is driven by the need to complete project installations, data collection, and the final report prior to grant closeout. The MPO does not anticipate significant delays related to permitting and approvals.

4. Budget for Materials

• The project budget must include materials for all demonstration projects. However, the MPO anticipates some in-kind material contributions from respective cities and TxDOT to support the effort.

5. Requirement for Signed/Sealed Drawings

• Signed/sealed drawings by a PE licensed in Texas will not be required for all demonstration projects, as these projects are not considered construction projects.

6. Flexibility in Number of Demonstration Projects

• The MPO’s goal is to implement six demonstration projects as outlined in the RFQ. A reduction in the number of projects is not anticipated nor desired. However, the MPO is open to reassessment if necessary due to community input or other factors. Submissions should assume projects at all six locations.

This addendum is issued to ensure all respondents have the same understanding of the expectations outlined in the RFQ.
