Safe Streets and Roads for All Comprehensive Safety Action Plan

The Lamoille County Planning Commission (LCPC) is soliciting a qualified consultant or consultant team to develop a comprehensive Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Comprehensive Safety Action Plan for Grand Isle County and Montpelier City in Vermont. The procurement seeks a consultant who will compile and review existing plans and studies, analyze current transportation conditions, and engage relevant stakeholders to identify critical safety needs across all roadway users including pedestrians, cyclists, public transportation users, personal conveyance and micro-mobility users, motorists, and commercial vehicle operators. Key deliverables include a detailed implementation plan with specific milestones targeting the elimination of death and serious injury on regional roads and streets. The solicitation requires the selected consultant to produce a final draft plan that prioritizes safety interventions and provides clear, actionable steps toward reducing transportation-related fatalities and serious injuries. The procurement was posted on November 24, 2025, with proposals due by January 2, 2026, though specific details about evaluation criteria were not fully accessible due to a document retrieval issue with the attached RFQ file.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements were not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the procurement appears to be an open competition for qualified transportation safety planning consultants. The project scope suggests a comprehensive approach to regional transportation safety that will require significant expertise in traffic engineering, urban planning, stakeholder engagement, and safety analysis. The procurement is focused on developing a strategic safety action plan rather than immediate infrastructure implementation, which implies potential future capital project opportunities may stem from this planning effort. Though no specific budget range was provided, the complexity of the required work suggests this could be a substantial planning contract with potential multi-year implications for transportation safety improvements in Grand Isle County and Montpelier. The consultant will need to demonstrate strong capabilities in data analysis, safety engineering, stakeholder coordination, and strategic planning to be competitive in this procurement.
