E. 93rd Street Opportunity to Thrive Project (Miles Ave to Quincy Ave)

The City of Cleveland's Mayor's Office of Capital Projects is requesting proposals for professional design services to prepare construction contract plans and specifications for the E. 93rd Street Opportunity to Thrive Project, approximately 3.5 miles of E. 93rd Street and Woodhill Road from Miles Avenue to Quincy Avenue, with proposals due October 30, 2026 by noon and written questions due September 29, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. A 10 percent Cleveland Area Small Business (CSB) subcontractor participation goal applies; proposers must demonstrate good-faith efforts to utilize certified CSB, MBE, and FBE subconsultants and complete OEO Schedules 1–4, W-9, and additional certifications with proposals.

The scope encompasses preliminary engineering and final design phases including survey work, utility coordination, comprehensive traffic analysis at eleven identified intersections (nine-hour turning movement counts during peak periods with 15-minute interval tallies), pedestrian and bicycle facility design, transit stop evaluation, traffic calming measures, traffic signal warrant analyses, maintenance-of-traffic plans maintaining two-way traffic throughout construction, and public engagement activities. Pavement rehabilitation at several intersections is excluded. All work must comply with Highway Capacity Manual procedures, FHWA guidelines, Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and City of Cleveland standards. Proposers must be ODOT-prequalified in Non-Complex Roadway Design, Basic Traffic Signal Design, and Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities.

The design phase is expected to be completed within a maximum of 14 months from notice to proceed, anticipated for November 2026, with construction advertisement scheduled for February 2028. The overall agreement duration extends from November 2026 through November 2030. Compensation is offered on either an Actual Cost Plus Net Fee with upset maximum or a Lump Sum Fee basis, to be determined through proposal submission and negotiation. The preliminary construction budget is $7.7 million including contingencies, funded through Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program federal funds, City Road and Bridge bonds, and Public Utilities funds. The City administers the design phase; ODOT District 12 leads construction administration for the CMAQ-funded northern corridor portion (Kinsman to Quincy/E. 105th). An addendum containing all questions and answers will be posted by October 16, 2026. No pre-proposal meeting is scheduled.
