Key deliverables include a Work Plan, Safety Analysis Summary, Vision Zero Resolution draft, Public Engagement Report, Equity Analysis Summary, Policy Analysis Summary, prioritized safety projects list, and a finalized Safety Action Plan in multiple digital formats. The proposal deadline is December 15, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with planned draft completion by May 31, 2026, final plan completion by November 30, 2026, and final SS4A report submission by February 25, 2027. Evaluation criteria will focus on methodology, team qualifications, project management approach, cost-effectiveness, references, innovation, and demonstrated familiarity with SS4A Action Plan development. Consultants must submit six hard copies and one USB drive copy of proposals not exceeding 15 pages, including detailed team resumes, project management plans, budget breakdowns, and references.

The procurement is funded through a federal Safe Streets and Roads for All discretionary grant, requiring compliance with FY2022 SS4A Notice of Funding Opportunity requirements and all applicable state and federal regulations. Proposals must include proof of SS4A Grant compliance and adherence to U.S. and Georgia employment laws. The total project budget is $250,000, with no additional funding anticipated.
