RFP - Transportation Planning, Environmental and Engineering Consulting Services - Marietta Transfer Center Site Selection Study. Question Deadline 10/28/2022 at 5:00 PM ET All Questions Should Be Sent via Email to Purchasing@cobbcounty.org. Do Not Contact Nor Send Questions to Cobb County Department of Transportation. The study area for this project will be defined by the consultant during the project as part of the scope of services; however, generally this will include all geographic areas roughly within 1 mile of the existing Marietta Transit Center and Park and Ride Lot located at 800 South Marietta Parkway SE, Marietta, GA 30060. The study area will include all reasonably feasible locations for the relocation of the Marietta Transit Center that can provide convenience for current and future riders as well as provide efficient service for existing and foreseeable CobbLinc and regional transit operations. This will be further informed by the CobbLinc Transit Centers System Analysis and Needs Assessment Study (Phase 1 study) that is currently underway. Some elements of the site selection evaluation may need to evaluate impacts or consideration to the broader CobbLinc transit service area and/or regional transit system.
