The Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) is seeking proposals in response to this solicitation from planning firms qualified and experienced in developing long range and strategic transportation plans specifically in the development of a regional Complete Streets Toolkit for urban, suburban and rural communities.

The project will:

• Support connectivity and the development of a safe and comfortable transportation network for all modes and all users.
   
• Promote the use of the latest design criteria and guidelines for multimodal facilities
   
• Establish a vision for how and local governments could adopt and apply a Complete Streets policy.
   
• Develop a multimodal street design typology to supplement the traditional functional classification system by identifying design elements linked to all modes of travel.
   
• Develop a Complete Streets toolkit to create awareness and provide guidance on a variety of street design measures available to local jurisdictions in planning and engineering safe and comfortable Complete Streets for all users of the regional transportation system.
   
• Provide project definition design/function guidance for project sponsors applying for funding in DRCOG’s Transportation Improvement Program based on the street typology prepared for the 2050 Metro Vision Regional Transportation Plan.
   
  All submitting firms should possess an in-depth comprehension of the DRCOG region and familiarity with the key players and stakeholders in the sector. The consultants should have extensive knowledge of best practices pertaining to Complete Streets and be able to demonstrate the ability to recommend and provide implementable tools at a regional level.
