The selected consultant must conduct extensive community engagement activities, coordinate with city staff and relevant agencies, demonstrate experience in comprehensive transportation planning within small communities or rural areas, and provide detailed project schedules, work plans, and cost estimates as part of their proposal. The project will proceed through multiple phases including existing conditions analysis, stakeholder engagement, alternative evaluation, final plan development, and implementation framework development, with specific milestones established for each phase. Evaluation of proposals will be based on comparative assessment of technical qualifications, relevant experience with similar projects, proposed methodology, demonstrated project understanding, and submitted cost proposals. The proposal submission deadline is June 4, 2026, with evaluation and award anticipated to follow the selection process.

The selected contractor will be required to comply with standard municipal service agreement provisions including performance standards, quality assurance requirements, adherence to applicable Oregon planning laws and local ordinances, maintenance of professional licensure and certifications, and standard insurance and bonding requirements.
