W'14 L ,� tom;' �.,�•xa&•��matl November S, 2021 City of Santa Ana Department of Public Works Willits Street Safe Routes to School Program 20 Civic Center Plaza, M-43 Santa Ana, CA 92701 Dear Review Committee, WalftreBikftrury On behalf of Walk'n Rollers, I am proud to present this proposal in response to the Request for Proposals by the City of Santa Ana. A Safe Routes to School program of this caliber will be transformattve for the students and the community. Our proposal strives to engage students through safe cycling educational programming to influence change in transportation habits among the students of the target schools. Our efforts will focus on providing stu- dents access to bicycles and the knowledge and enthusiasm to ride them safely, maintain them and encourage others to do so as well. These efforts will provide excellent opportunities for community engagement within the City and especially with community partners. We have assembled an expert team of professionals that are poised to meet the demands of this project and en- sure efficiency, maximum creativity and fun! Together, we have combined experience in education, encourage- ment, community outreach, data collection and evaluation. Each partner brings a unique skill set to the project: Walk'n Rollers for project leadership, educational programming and student communications, Leslie Scott Con- sultants for logistics and outreach, Toole Design for advocacy and bike audit training and Jax Bicycles for on -site mechanical education. We truly believe that active transportation is more than getting students out of cars and reducing traffic and pollu- tion at school sites. Safe Routes to School programming also teaches children life skills such as responsibility, good decision making, time management and traffic and community awareness. And forthis project, hands-on bike repair and safety skills, leadership as well as community engagement. Our collaborative approach and experience working with school districts, city staff and other stakeholders pro- vides a comprehensive program that will provide a foundation from which to build future programs. This approach ensures we will energetically and effectively work with students at the target schools and provide the best possible learning experience and options for growth. We believe our experience and enthusiasm will exceed your expecta- tions and produce results the students of Santa Ana deserve. The terms of the proposal are negotiable. We are open to adjusting our scope of work. I will negotiate for the team if needed. This proposal is a binding offer for 90 days, We are excited for the opportunity to work with your team in delivering first-class programming to promote and protect the health and safety of the children and residents of the City of Santa Ana. 7/� .�'l.
