Seaport Boulevard Multi-Use Path Project

The City of Redwood City, California's Engineering & Transportation Department is requesting proposals from consultant teams for environmental clearance, technical studies, and engineering design for the Seaport Boulevard Multi-Use Path Project, with proposals due November 23, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. PST. Proposals must be delivered by mail or hand delivery to the department. The City leads project management and public engagement, and the consultant provides technical support, analysis, and targeted agency coordination.

The scope covers improvements to the existing multi-use path along Seaport Boulevard between State Route 84 and the US 101 interchange, through the future ferry terminal site at Pacific Shores. Potential work includes widening, enhanced lighting, intersection crossing enhancements, re-paving, signage, and connections across Seaport Boulevard that require Union Pacific Railroad permits. Services include preliminary engineering, environmental clearance, final engineering design, and overall project management. Key deliverables are environmental clearance and technical studies in January 2027, a 60% design submittal in January 2028, and 100% plans, specifications, and estimates in September 2028. Construction is anticipated in 2029. A kick-off meeting occurs within one week of Notice to Proceed.

Submissions require one USB drive with proposal files in PDF and Word formats, three printed spiral-bound copies, and a separately sealed envelope containing the rate schedule with hourly or service rates. Evaluation criteria are proposal quality, experience and qualifications, proposed scope of work, and capacity, each weighted 25%. The City reserves the right to evaluate without interviews and to select based solely on proposal information. Compensation will be determined through the selection process.

The contract term runs from the Effective Date through project completion. Annual rate increases are permitted but cannot exceed the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco Bay Area. The City may modify the scope of work and terminate with thirty days' written notice. The Sample Professional Services Agreement requires $2 million commercial general liability insurance, $1 million professional liability insurance, indemnification, records maintenance for three years post-completion, and City ownership of all deliverables.
