The City of Burlingame is located on the San Francisco Peninsula, about 10 miles south of San Francisco. Today the City has an incorporated area of approximately six square miles and an estimated population of 30,576. The City has a Council/Manager form of government, with a five-member Council and several commissions including Traffic Safety and Parking Commission. Burlingame is known for its high residential quality of life and is often referred to as the "City of Trees." Industrial growth was spurred in the 1960s and 1970s by proximity to the San Francisco International Airport, and today the city has a substantial employment base. The City's General Plan was updated in 2019, and similarly the City's Bike/Ped Master Plan was approved by the City Council in 2019 identifying several bike/ped capital improvements priorities of which many have been implemented by the City. However, the City has not yet developed a Vision Zero Policy/Action Plan and Local Roadway Safety Plan. As a result, the City Council has prioritized developing a Vision Zero Goal/Policy, a Vision Zero Action Plan and a Local Roadway Safety Plan as part of its several major initiatives Citywide. This integrated plan is focused on eliminating fatal traffic crashes that affect all transportation modes including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders. Through the action plan, we will analyze historic crash data, compile proven countermeasures, identify and prioritize projects, and recommend safety projects for implementation. The City Council has established a joint Subcommittee consisting of two City Councilmembers and two Traffic Safety and Parking Commissioners to guide the development of the Plan. The successful consultant team is expected to coordinate and work closely with the Joint City Council-TSPC Subcommittee to develop the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan and outreach to the community. The project scope of work will consist of but will not be limited to the following: o Public and stakeholders Outreach Strategy and detailed work plan. o Coordination Plan with Stakeholders. o Consistency with existing city and regional plans. o Traffic Studies including but not limited to analysis of traffic safety data, lighting needs assessments, and other recommendations as applicable . o Establishment of existing base line conditions and identification of emphasis areas, and development of Vision Zero Goals. o Concept Designs, cost estimates and recommended prioritization strategies o Interactive project website for public outreach and seeking input. o Recommendation of a Citywide Vision Zero Action Plan to achieve desired outcomes. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive any and all irregularities to choose the firm which, in the City's opinion, best serves the City's interests.
