On-call Transportation Design Services

The Sacramento County Department of Transportation is seeking on-call transportation design services through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) that was published on October 23, 2023, with Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) due on December 7, 2023, at 2 p.m. The county intends to award up to six contracts to consultants or consultant teams capable of providing comprehensive transportation design services across Sacramento County and San Francisco City. These services encompass a broad range of projects including sidewalk infill, curbs, gutters, roadway improvements, traffic signals, bicycle facilities, and emerging transportation technologies like e-scooters and micromobility. Deliverables will include A, B, and C plans, technical specifications, estimates, construction plans, and related documentation. The evaluation criteria will focus on the qualifications and experience of the project team, firm experience, project approach, and references. Tentative project timelines include interviews for selected consultants scheduled for January 10-11, 2024, with an anticipated contract execution date of March 19, 2024.

The procurement includes a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 16% when federal funds are utilized, with specific DBE requirements potentially varying by individual project task orders. Each contract will have a maximum value of $2,000,000 and a base term of up to three years, with the possibility of two two-year extensions. Funding sources are anticipated to include the Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) and Measure A. The services will be mutually defined on a case-by-case basis through individual task orders, allowing for flexibility in project scope and implementation. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate significant experience in transportation design, technical capabilities, and the ability to handle diverse infrastructure projects across urban and regional settings. The county's approach suggests a competitive selection process that prioritizes technical expertise, past performance, and innovative solutions in transportation design and infrastructure development.
