RFP # 27-003 safe streets and roads for all safety action plan

The City of Fairburn, Georgia is soliciting proposals under RFP #27-003 for a consultant or consulting team to prepare a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) safety action plan, with questions due November 20, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. and proposals due December 7, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. The solicitation carries no set-aside or preference program.

The plan must reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries for all users, including drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, with particular focus on vulnerable and underserved communities. The work includes evidence-based crash data and accident trend analysis, application of the FHWA Safe System approach and low-cost, high-impact strategies, and a prioritized list of specific roadway safety projects with potential funding sources. The plan is funded under U.S. Department of Transportation SS4A Award #693JJ32640566. The contract incorporates the FY 2025 SS4A Grant Agreement General Terms and Conditions, NEPA, and Build America, Buy America Act requirements. Respondents must demonstrate at least five years of experience in highway safety planning, crash data analysis, and community engagement, with at least three comparable projects of similar scope.

Selection is qualifications-based. Pricing is not a scoring factor. The City will rank qualified teams on technical merit: project understanding and approach (35 points), team qualifications and comparable work (30 points), work plan and risk management (20 points), and engagement and performance planning (15 points). The City will then negotiate scope and fees with the highest-ranked firm. Proposals are limited to 15 pages and must be submitted as one searchable PDF, one unbound copy, and four bound copies, delivered to the City Administration Building. A separate sealed fee proposal listing hourly rates and reimbursable expenses is required.

The contract term runs through May 10, 2029. The draft action plan is due January 1, 2028, and the final action plan and report are due by May 10, 2029. Anticipated selection and notice to proceed is January 13, 2027.
