The City of San Rafael requests proposals from qualified consultant teams for a feasibility study of the San Rafael Canal Crossing Project. The City seeks to retain a consultant or consultant team to provide professional engineering services for the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) and Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) phases. Services include design and environmental documentation for the project, including but not limited to: CEQA/NEPA clearance, civil, electrical, mechanical, structural, geotechnical, and traffic engineering, state and federal funding documentation assistance, and outreach support. Proposals must be submitted by consultant teams with demonstrable background in the type of work described, with sufficient readily available resources such as trained personnel, support services, specialized consultants, and financial resources to carry out the work efficiently. The Project is located in San Rafaels Canal neighborhood, bounded by I-580, Highway-101, Bellam Boulevard, and the San Rafael Creek. The freeways and Creek physically isolate this disadvantaged community. There is limited shopping, education, health services, or job opportunities within the neighborhood and travel to other locations is constrained by poor bicycle and pedestrian connections. This is particularly problematic as residents have low rates of vehicle ownership and are largely reliant on walking, bicycling, and public transit. According to the Healthy Places Index, 28 percent of workers in the Canal neighborhood commute by transit, walking or cycling; this is higher than 94 percent of other California census tracts
