This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into contract with Parsons Brinckerhoff, Inc., in the amount of up to $490,000.00 for the Traffic Signal Installation - General Engineering Traffic Signals & Pedestrian Safety Improvements - Sidewalk Design and Crosswalk Improvements contract.

The intent of this project is to provide additional resources to perform traffic signal studies, pedestrian safety studies, and complete design for such projects. The projects developed under this program are typically small to moderate size improvements, and frequently include performing a traffic study to determine if a traffic signal, marked crosswalk, or pedestrian signal is warranted; designing roadway improvements such as turn lanes; designing a new signal; designing a replacement signal; designing modifications to an existing signal; or designing pedestrian crossing and related facilities.

The Department of Public Service, Office of Support Services, solicited Requests for Proposals for the Traffic Signal Installation - General Engineering Traffic Signals & Pedestrian Safety Improvements - Sidewalk Design and Crosswalk Improvements contract. The project was formally advertised on the Vendor Services web site from May 16, 2013, to June 6, 2013. The city received five (5) responses. All proposals were deemed responsive and were fully evaluated when the Evaluation Committee met on June 14, 2013.
