Summary of Specifications:
This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeks responses from firms with strong professional qualifications in transportation planning and traffic engineering services. Pursuant to the City’s key intended outcome to maintain and improve traffic flow conditions citywide, the Transportation Management Division of the Public Works Department is in need of comprehensive outside support to address the challenges which are inherent to the overall departmental work plan.
The flexibility to hire a consulting firm which will provide specialized transportation planning and traffic engineering services on demand, without having to undergo the time consuming Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process for each individual task which, in most cases, will exceed $25,000 in cost, is a critical component in developing a departmental process of review, planning and design. In addition, it is highly desirable to have the same consulting firm on board in order to maintain continuity and consistency among the tasks to be performed. It is the intent of the Administration to use the RFQ process to select a firm who possesses strong professional qualifications in structural engineering and historical preservation services.
