SR2S_Concept_Plans_-_Faith_Ringgold_Elementary.pdf

This is a Safe Routes to School (SR2S) Concept Plan document prepared for the City of Hayward in Alameda County, California, depicting preliminary design concepts for traffic calming and pedestrian safety improvements. The document presents a concept plan for Faith Ringgold Academy, one of multiple schools included in a comprehensive SR2S initiative covering nine additional schools including Burbank, Impact Academy, Longwood, MLK Middle, Palma Ceia, Park, Schafer Park, Southgate, Tennyson, Tyrrell, and Winton. The specific improvements shown for Faith Ringgold Academy include curb extensions at the intersection of 5th and D Streets and a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) at the same location, designed to enhance pedestrian safety and traffic calming. The concept plan provides a foundation for the more detailed design work being solicited through RFP 26-027, with proposals due to the City by 4:00 p.m. on February 20, 2026, and an optional pre-proposal conference and site walkthrough scheduled for January 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

The D Street Traffic Calming Project PS&E procurement seeks professional design and engineering services to advance the concept designs through five progressive phases (30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% completion) and produce Plans, Specifications, and Estimates for construction. The project is funded through Alameda CTC VRF, Measure B, and Measure BB funds, and is subject to the City of Hayward's Local Business Contract Equity Program with mandatory participation goals of 70% for Local Business Enterprises and 30% for Small Local Business Enterprises. All proposing firms must be certified by Alameda CTC at the time of proposal submission. The selected consultant must provide a Professional Civil Engineer to stamp final construction documents and coordinate with existing SR2S and Highway Safety Improvement Program initiatives. Evaluation criteria include project management experience (15%), project understanding and approach (25%), firm qualifications (20%), project staffing (15%), cost (15%), and LBCE participation (10%), with City Council recommendation and contractor selection anticipated for March 3, 2026. Standard insurance requirements include workers' compensation ($1,000,000 minimum), commercial general and automobile liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), and professional liability insurance ($1,000,000 for errors and omissions).
