This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

Reference Number 0000282603 The Services required under this Contract shall consist of the following three phases of work: (a) Phase I - Opportunity Identification: (i) Collect necessary data to identify potential on-street transit infrastructure improvements including but not limited to site photos, traffic and transit operations data, transit customer communication reports, collision information, and ridership data; (ii) Conduct a detailed review of each route in the Primary Transit Network and Feeder Network, identifying infrastructure opportunities with the potential to improve capacity, quality, safety, and/or accessibility. Note that while some site inspection/verification may be required, it is not the intent that the successful proponent complete a detailed inspection of each individual transit stop, but rather rely on stop level information made available by the City along with online mapping and viewing tools. (iii) Host at least two (2) meetings to identify potential transit infrastructure improvement opportunities known to City of Winnipeg Staff. At least one (1) meeting is to be held with staff from Winnipeg Transit. At least one (1) meeting is to include staff from the Public Works Department. (iv) Produce a Transit Network On-Street Infrastructure Opportunity Report including a consolidated list of all identified potential on-street transit infrastructure improvements, grouped into similar categories. (b) Phase II - Evaluation: (i)Develop a methodology for evaluating each category of similar on-street transit infrastructure improvement considering its potential to improve transit (increased capacity, quality, safety and/or accessibility). The evaluation should consider other relevant factors including, but not limited to, property acquisition, anticipated engagement requirements, regulatory implications, necessary permits/approvals, and parking/access impacts for businesses and residents. The evaluation methodology for each category shall be developed in coordination with, and accepted by the Consulting Contract Administrator, prior to commencing the Evaluation. (ii) Coordinate and meet with City of Winnipeg departments as required to validate project requirements, constraints, and opportunities; (iii) Complete an evaluation of each potential on-street transit infrastructure improvement according to the approved evaluation methodology for each category. (iv) Complete a Class 5 cost estimate using parametric estimating methods for all infrastructure improvement opportunities identified throughout the Primary Network and Feeder Network, including estimates for property acquisition if required. ? Further to D4.1(b)(iv), in cases where Class 5 cost estimates using parametric estimating methods are not feasible, the Evaluation Report shall note that future Preliminary Design is required. Preliminary Design Services are outside the scope of this project. (v) Produce a Transit Network On-Street Infrastructure Evaluation Report documenting the evaluation and cost of each potential on-street transit infrastructure improvement. (vi) Lead a presentation to City Staff, identified by the Consulting Contract Administrator, summarizing the key findings of the Evaluation Report. (c) Phase III – Prioritization and Reporting: (i) Develop a prioritization methodology for each infrastructure improvement category in coordination with, and accepted by the Consulting Contract Administrator with input from key Winnipeg Transit staff, prior to commencing the prioritization. (ii) Assign a prioritized score to each of the potential on-street transit infrastructure improvements, separated by category. (iii) Produce an On-Street Transit Infrastructure Prioritization Final Report including the final prioritized list of improvements for each category, and supporting documentation from all phases of the project. The Final Report shall be accompanied by a supporting digital database with all raw data, evaluation analyses, and prioritization scores accessible to and modifiable by Winnipeg Transit.
