The City of Folsom (City) is seeking an experienced Consultant Team to prepare a Feasibility Study Report (FSR) for the implementation of the Folsom Boulevard Class I Overcrossing. The objective of the FSR is to consider possible alternatives for establishing an east-west gap closure across Folsom Boulevard and the feasibility for its implementation. The City is currently considering a Class I multi-use overcrossing at an undetermined location between Blue Ravine Road and Glenn Drive. The connection must be safe, convenient, and cost-effective. The overcrossing alternatives will be presented to the general public, property owners, and potential stakeholders in a series of public meetings, as part of the selected consultant's responsibilities, to identify a community preferred alternative. Upon successful selection, the preferred alternative will be used as the basis for grant funding requests and will serve as the project description for the preliminary engineering (PE) phase, neither of which are included in this agreement. Overcrossing alternatives should consider various construction types suited to the conditions. The structure footprint should generally remain outside of the existing Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT) right-of-way. Architectural, cultural, and environmental components should reflect the City's and surrounding area character and will be further developed through the community outreach process. An undercrossing was determined to be infeasible at an earlier stage of this project and as such will not be considered for this feasibility analysis. The FSR for the Folsom Boulevard Overcrossing would evaluate locations for the span to cross over Folsom Boulevard south of Glenn Drive and north of Blue Ravine Road, connecting the Folsom Parkway Rail Trail east of Folsom Boulevard and the Humbug- Willow Creek Trail (HBWC) to the American River Parkway Trail (ARPT) west of Folsom Boulevard (see Attachment A). Once developed as part of the FSR, the overcrossing location alternatives will be presented to the general public, property owners, and potential stakeholders in a series of public meetings to identify a community preferred alternative. Upon successful selection, the preferred alternative will be used as the basis for future grant funding requests and will serve as the project description. Questions regarding this RFP may be addressed to: Brett Bollinger Senior Trails Planner bbollinger@folsom.ca.us (916) 461-6632 The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
