Exton Crossroads Streetscape and Mobility Plan (TCDI Project Category 5 – Transportation and Infrastructure Planning)

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is requesting proposals on behalf of West Whiteland Township for professional planning, urban design, landscape architecture, and transportation planning services to develop the Exton Crossroads Streetscape and Mobility Plan, with proposals due October 19, 2026 at 4:59 p.m. Only DVRPC-prequalified consultants under TCDI Category 5 (Transportation and Infrastructure Planning) are eligible to submit proposals — a restrictive gate that filters the competitive field entirely.

The scope encompasses project initiation and management, existing conditions assessment, public engagement including a minimum of three public meetings, development of a multimodal mobility framework, streetscape and placemaking conceptual design with planning-level illustrations for priority locations, implementation strategy, and final plan preparation. The project addresses multimodal connectivity, wayfinding, and public realm improvement within the Exton Crossroads regional activity center at the intersection of US Route 30 and PA Route 100 in Chester County. All deliverables must comply with federal, state, and local digital accessibility laws at the time of publication. Respondents may propose consultant teams; only the lead consultant must be prequalified.

The project is funded through FY27 Pennsylvania Transportation and Community Development Initiative (TCDI) funding. Under the Brooks Act, cost is not an evaluation factor, though a separate sealed budget proposal must be submitted with profit or fee limited to 10 percent of direct labor and indirect costs per Title 41 CFR. No DBE or ESBE subcontracting goal applies.

Evaluation criteria are technical approach and project understanding (40 points), professional qualifications and experience in similar work (30 points), demonstrated commitment to sustainable and equitable performance (15 points), and ability to perform within schedule (15 points). All work must be completed by June 30, 2028, with an anticipated award date of December 10, 2026. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the OpenGov procurement portal.
