I-25 Interchange & Multimodal Study

The Town of Erie, Colorado is seeking a consultant to conduct a comprehensive I-25 Interchange & Multimodal Study through a Request for Proposal (RFP) with Federal Project Number STU M400-013. The project requires a detailed analysis of the I-25 corridor between Colorado State Highway 52 and Erie Parkway, with specific deliverables including population and traffic volume projections, cost estimates, conceptual plans, and multimodal transit improvement scenarios. Key objectives encompass existing conditions analysis, public outreach, stakeholder coordination, traffic and transit modeling, and developing interchange reconfiguration recommendations. The RFP requires electronic proposal submissions to mobility@erieco.gov, with proposals due on May 16, 2025, and a virtual pre-proposal conference scheduled for May 12, 2025 at 10:00 AM MDT. The selection committee will evaluate proposals based on qualifications and approach, creating a short-list of firms through a comprehensive assessment. The project timeline spans 12 months, with an anticipated contract award on July 8, 2025, and completion expected by June 30, 2026.

While no specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the study involves extensive regional coordination with multiple agencies including the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), Regional Transportation District (RTD), and Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG). The project will explore potential funding opportunities and stakeholder contributions, though no specific budget range is provided in the current documentation. Proposers are not required to include a fee in their initial submission, with the selection process focusing primarily on qualitative aspects of the proposal. The study's comprehensive nature suggests a complex procurement process that will likely require significant technical expertise in transportation planning, traffic engineering, and multimodal transit systems. The project's regional significance and multi-agency involvement indicate a sophisticated procurement approach that will prioritize innovative and comprehensive solutions for improving the I-25 corridor infrastructure.
