Fair Oaks Avenue/Arroyo Parkway (SR-110) Interchange Improvement Project

The City of South Pasadena is seeking a qualified consultant for a planning-level comparative evaluation of the Hook-Ramp and Loop-Ramp interchange concepts at Fair Oaks Avenue and Arroyo Parkway (SR-110), with written questions due November 12, 2026 and proposals due December 10, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. The source names no set-aside, preference program, or sole-source intent.

The consultant must deliver five products: a memorandum summarizing prior work and identifying gaps; a comparative analysis with visual renderings for public understanding, covering technical feasibility, constructability, right-of-way implications, and implementation complexity; order-of-magnitude cost ranges and implementation timelines; a risk and flaw assessment; and a final summary memorandum with recommendations. The study is for planning and budgetary purposes only and excludes detailed engineering, environmental analysis, traffic modeling, surveying, and land acquisition. Required coverage is $2 million per occurrence and $4 million aggregate professional liability, $4 million aggregate general liability, statutory workers' compensation, and $1 million automobile liability. Written products become the City's property without restriction.

The source does not state a contract value. Funding comes from South Pasadena's $80 million Measure R allocation and approximately $9.3 million in remaining federal Revenue-Aligned Budget Authority (RABA) funds, and the City is pursuing a rebalancing of Measure R funds that would allocate $30 million to the SR-110 Ramp Project.

Evaluation uses a 100-point scale: Firm Qualifications and Relevant Experience (50 points), Project Team Qualifications (25 points), Schedule and Work Plan Feasibility (15 points), and Fee Proposal (10 points). Proposals are limited to 25 pages, excluding resumes, fee proposals, and appendices, and must remain valid for at least 180 days from submission. Virtual oral interviews may be conducted if necessary, and contract award is anticipated in January 2027. The City will respond to questions by November 24, 2026. All communication must go to Joan M. Powe, Procurement Contracts Administrator, at jpowe@southpasadenaca.gov or 626-403-7316.
