Project Synopsis The Oregon Department of Transportation ("ODOT" or "Agency") anticipates releasing a mini-Request for Proposals ("Mini-RFP") to seek proposals from Consultants to conduct a major update of the City of Albany’s Transportation System Plan (“TSP”) consistent with Oregon’s requirements for transportation system planning in metropolitan areas, as provided in OAR 660-012.

ODOT is delivering this Project on behalf of the City of Albany. The City of Albany is responsible for the final selection and assignment of consultants, pursuant to ORS 279C.125 and OAR 731-148-0260.

A Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (“DBE”) goal is anticipated.

Desired Project Objectives and Outcomes:

The Project will develop an updated TSP and draft implementing regulations that include:

• Goals, policies, performance measures, and implementing regulations that support the City’s Comprehensive Plan and create a safe and reliable multimodal transportation system that supports a thriving economy;

• Standards and solutions to develop a safe, efficient, multimodal transportation network based on the needs of existing and planned land uses;

• A transportation system funding and financing strategy to support the development of the identified transportation system; and

• Analysis and documentation to demonstrate compliance with all applicable requirements to support adoption of the TSP, including local criteria, Oregon’s Transportation Planning Rule, and relevant Statewide planning goals and administrative rules.

The Project will support key outcomes, including:

• Identify, map, and assess existing transportation, transit, mobility, and parking facilities;

• Identify appropriate Transportation Options (“TO”), Transportation System Management (“TSM”) and Transportation Demand Management (“TDM”) techniques;

• Identify how the investments and policies in the TSP support a path to reach the regional greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions reduction target, including adopting required performance measures and targets;

• Preserve the function and capacity of transportation facilities to support the economy and movement of goods;

• Fill gaps and improve safety on pedestrian and bicycle routes to schools and key destinations;
