The Town of Greenwich Purchasing Department, on behalf of the Department of Public Works, is seeking proposals from qualified consulting firms who have experience with transportation planning, engineering, safety analyses, and multimodal concerns to produce a comprehensive Transportation Safety Action Plan. The Town of Greenwich intends to create a comprehensive Transportation Safety Action Plan using grant funds awarded through the USDOT's SS4A program. The goal of the project is to identify, prioritize, and create a plan for addressing the most serious transportation safety needs in Town. Consultants must be experienced in transportation planning (including cars, transit, and active transportation) and in conducting roadway safety analyses. Consultant must be well versed in safe roadway design principles and should be familiar with the SS4A program, the Safe Systems Approach, Complete Streets design, and similar concepts. Consistent with the goals of the SS4A program writ large, the primary goal of the Town's Plan is to address the underlying causes of fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways. In addition, many residents and visitors of Greenwich have expressed to Town staff that they do not feel safe moving around their neighborhoods, whether it be because of patterns of documented crashes or near misses; the Plan is intended to create a roadmap towards a transportation system where all users, no matter which mode they choose, feel safe getting around Town. The Town desires to commence work on the Plan by the end of the year (12/31/2024) with a targeted goal of completion in July 2026 and adoption by the Town's Legal Traffic Authority by the end of 2026. Respondents shall reply to this Request for Proposals (RFP) by submitting a written proposal and completing the attached reply sheets. Respondents shall indicate all required information in their proposal. The DBE sub consultant goal is set at 0 of the original agreement value. Proposals transmitted by fax or email will not be accepted or reviewed. Proposals which are received after the due date and time will not be considered. Each submittal must be sealed to provide confidentiality of the information prior to the submission date and time. The Town will not be responsible for premature opening of proposals not properly labeled. The Town of Greenwich reserves the right to amend this RFP by an addendum. It is the responsibility of the Respondent to check the Town's website for addenda; the Town will not provide notification. By going to this location on the Town's or City's websites, you will be able to download any addenda by clicking on and downloading the document. Please be patient as it may take some time to download. If revisions are of such a magnitude to warrant, in the Town's opinion, the postponement of the date for receipt of proposals, an addendum will be issued announcing the new date. All responses to the RFP must conform to the instructions. Failure to provide the required number of copies, to meet deadlines, answer all questions, follow the required format, or failure to comply with any other requirements of the RFP may be considered an appropriate cause for rejection of the response. The following format requirements are designed to solicit information critical to the Town's and City's evaluation of the respondent's capabilities. The responses in this section will be a critical component in the evaluation. The proposal will remain in effect for a minimum of ninety (90) days from the deadline for submission of the proposal or until it is formally withdrawn, a contract is executed, this RFP is canceled, or whichever occurs first.
