The City of Calabasas is requesting proposals for comprehensive Safe Streets For All (SS4A) Action Plan and Demonstration Projects consulting services, with proposals due July 30, 2026 and questions due July 16, 2026.

Demonstration projects include temporary installation of a HAWK signal at Eddingham Avenue and Mulholland Highway, a temporary roundabout at West Calabasas Road, and an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Pilot Program featuring adaptive traffic signal control with artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities. The contract term is three years, with implementation activities concentrated in Year 1 and final deliverables by Year 3.

The total project cost is $1,667,450, with the City requesting $1,341,960 in SS4A grant funding and providing $335,490 in local matching funds. Consultants must be currently registered and qualified to perform public work under California Labor Code Section 1725.5 and may be subject to prevailing wage requirements. All proposals must comply with federal requirements including 2 CFR Part 200, USDOT and SS4A grant requirements, Title VI nondiscrimination, ADA compliance, and EEO provisions.

Proposals are evaluated on six criteria: firm and expert qualifications (20 points), experience with similar work (10 points), client references (15 points), understanding of scope (15 points), approach, methodology, and timelines (20 points), and cost for services (20 points).
