25-051 T-7260 Riverside Drive Traffic Engineering Corridor Study

The City of Sandy Springs, located in Fulton County, Georgia, is seeking a professional engineering firm to conduct a comprehensive Traffic Engineering Corridor Study for Riverside Drive (RFP 25-051). The project focuses on evaluating the intersections of Heards Ferry Road and River Valley Road with Riverside Drive, along with the Riverside Drive roundabouts at I-285. The primary objectives include determining the most appropriate intersection traffic control methods, lane configurations, and potential design modifications such as signal changes or alternative roundabout designs. Deliverables will include a detailed traffic analysis, survey documentation, concept drawings, signal design plans, and community outreach materials. The selected consultant must be a Georgia-registered professional engineering firm prequalified by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) in specific area classes. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for June 2, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST, with proposals due on June 20, 2025, by 2:00 PM EST. The proposal evaluation will use a 100-point system, with 35% weight on project understanding and approach, 30% on project team, 30% on relevant experience, and 5% on the cost proposal.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project is expected to take up to 14 months to complete and will involve comprehensive traffic flow, congestion, and safety analysis, including crash analysis and traffic forecasts. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the RFP includes a contingency of $13,500 for miscellaneous services. Proposals must be submitted through the Bonfire online portal, and the City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals. The study will require extensive community engagement, including conducting community meetings and presenting final recommendations to the City's Public Works Director and City Council. The consultant will need to provide detailed concept drawings and comprehensive intersection control evaluations. Notably, the project will require integration with existing local transportation infrastructure and must consider the specific traffic patterns and characteristics of the Riverside Drive corridor in Sandy Springs.
