In order to <br />provide recommendations to improve neighborhood traffic safety in the City, PWA <br />requires current traffic counts and field data collection services. A traffic count study is <br />used to capture vehicle or pedestrian travel on a particular street segment for a <br />specified duration of time. The City utilizes consultant services in order to augment City <br />staff and secure specialized equipment needed to conduct traffic count studies. The <br />proposed agreements provide staff access to specialized traffic analysis and <br />neighborhood speed and safety studies, as well as the bi-annual citywide traffic volume <br />study, pedestrian/bicycle counts, and the annual traffic signal and left -turn signal priority <br />study. Once this data is captured, staff reviews and analyzes it to assess the potential <br />need for traffic calming improvements such as crosswalks, speed humps, stop signs, <br />and traffic signals. <br />Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-012 was issued on January 21, 2025 on the City's <br />online bid management and publication system, PlanetBids.
