HOBOKEN VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN UPDATE AND SUPPLEMENTAL STUDIES

The City of Jersey City is seeking consulting services on behalf of the City of Hoboken to update the Hoboken Vision Zero Action Plan and conduct supplemental studies. The primary objective is to support the cities' goal of eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030. The requested consulting services include updating the existing Vision Zero Action Plan, incorporating additional data sources, developing an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan, and performing supplemental studies such as near-miss detection and lighting analyses. Proposals are due by 11:00 AM on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, with the project timeline spanning from September 2025 to February 2027, and all work to be completed by March 30, 2027. The evaluation of proposals will be conducted by a committee from both Jersey City and Hoboken, using a comprehensive scoring system that considers technical criteria (45 points), management criteria (40 points), and cost proposal (15 points). Key evaluation factors include the consultant's local knowledge, experience with Vision Zero planning, data analysis capabilities, and capacity for inclusive public engagement.

The procurement encourages participation from Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) or Emerging Small Business Enterprises (ESBE), with a participation goal of at least 10%. The contract will be awarded as a cost-plus fixed fee arrangement, with the consultant to be paid on a cost reimbursement basis up to a total budget of $264,375, which is funded through a USDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All Planning grant. Potential bidders should note that this is a paper-only submission process requiring original signatures and the completion of all specified forms. Failure to acknowledge receipt of all addenda will result in the bid being considered non-responsive and subsequently rejected. The cities are seeking a consultant with demonstrated expertise in urban transportation planning, safety analysis, and community engagement, with the expectation of creating a comprehensive and actionable plan to improve road safety in Hoboken.
