Summary of Specifications:
The City of Ann Arbor, Michigan, is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a GIS based street tree, sign, light and traffic signal inventory. This inventory is intended to assist the City in future management and planning of these assets.
The scope of work has been divided into two components: the first component is a GIS based inventory of city-owned street trees; the second component is a GIS based inventory of city street signs, street lights, and traffic signals. While it is desired that one consultant will be chosen to complete both components, it is possible that more than one consultant will be selected based on their area of expertise. A joint proposal from multiple consultants to complete both components will also be accepted.
For the first component, inventory, inspect and provide maintenance recommendations for city-owned trees, stumps and planting locations located in the City right-of-way. The City right-of-way is defined as the area from the edge of the City street pavement inward toward the owner’s property. It also includes city-owned alleys. The City has approximately 60,000 trees, stumps and planting locations along the City’s right- of-way.
The second component includes an inventory, including attribution, of the City’s signs, lights and traffic signals. It is estimated that there are approximately 35,000 signs and signals, 2400 light heads and 1400 poles.
