Clatsop County Transportation Safety Action Plan

Clatsop County is seeking a qualified engineering consultant to develop a Transportation Safety Action Plan through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process. The project, funded by the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant program, will focus on developing a comprehensive safety strategy for the county's 225-mile road network, with an 18-month project timeline. Key deliverables include a robust safety analysis of all roadways, public engagement efforts, policy updates, identification of safety improvement projects, and progress monitoring methods. The consultant will be responsible for conducting regular project meetings, leading public outreach, and coordinating with a Public Advisory Committee representing various stakeholder groups. The RFP will be evaluated on a 100-point scale, with points allocated as follows: Professional Qualifications (25 points), Performance Examples (25 points), Project Understanding (20 points), Approach (20 points), and Local Knowledge (10 points). Sealed proposals are due by 2:00 p.m. on January 23, 2025, with contract negotiations expected to begin after the award announcement on February 26, 2025.

The contract includes a 3% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal and is subject to specific SS4A grant requirements. The project emphasizes serving underserved communities and achieving zero roadway fatalities, with a specific focus on developing deliverables that meet the eight required components of SS4A Action Plans. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project is federally funded through the SS4A grant program and is not subject to prevailing wage requirements. Potential respondents should note the emphasis on equity considerations and comprehensive safety analysis across the county's transportation infrastructure. The procurement is open to engineering consultants with demonstrated expertise in transportation safety planning, public engagement, and developing comprehensive safety action strategies that align with federal grant program requirements.
