The City of HUNTINGTON PARK is soliciting Proposals from qualified and experienced consultants for architectural and engineering design services for the Project Approval & Environmental Design (PA&ED) phase in preparation for the solicitation of Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) from professionally licensed design consultants. The PA&ED constructability review assures that all of the alternatives and the proposed preferred alternative are constructible on the available level of detail. This review is particularly important during consultation with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) that establishes project limits or place specific mitigation requirements on the project. The constructability review includes the review of the proposed work plan, schedule, environmental requirements, and construction impacts for CIP 2019-14 ATP Cycle VI. This program aims to provide safer routes for students attending twenty-two K-12 campuses within the project area where an average of 93% of students are enrolled in the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Program, and seniors accessing nearby medical offices and retirement communities by addressing current gaps in active transportation facilities that disproportionately affect students, seniors and other vulnerable populations living within this disadvantaged community. The reconstruction of 130 curb ramps to comply with ADA-standards and the installation of new high visibility crosswalks near twenty-two project area schools will increase motorist visibility and pedestrian safety for students at school campus crossings, and the installation of a new, pedestrian controlled HAWK beacon will increase safety and comfort for students and parents commuting to the nearby Middleton Elementary and Primary Center. Additionally, the construction of three raised islands around Chelsey Park will increase pedestrian safety and comfort when accessing recreational amenities and other nearby after-school activities and health services for students and seniors. Other improvements contained within this project include 3,266 LF of new sidewalks and extensive updates to walking/biking paths adjacent to Veteran's Park, one of the City's largest green spaces, including the installation of 20 wayfinding signs, 10 flashing beacons, 329 illuminated bollards, 20 speed humps, 10 raised crosswalks, and new active transportation amenities for commuters including waste bins, benches, and shade trees along the areas where the walking and biking paths meet the street and are exposed to vehicular traffic. These critical ATP updates will encourage children and parents to walk to school, and increase student access to parks, libraries, and other after school activities, helping reduce transportation costs and greenhouse gas emissions, while also reducing social isolation which is a major contributor of poor health in an area with healthier community conditions than only 12% of other CA cities (HPI).
