CITY OF ALBANY POLICE DEPARTMENT TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DIVISION REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES RFQ NO. 2021-01 PROPOSALS DUE: January 26, 2021 AT 12:00 NOON CITY OF ALBANY Center Square/Washington Park Roadway & Sidewalk Network Traffic Study CITY OF ALBANY January 4, 2021 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2 City of Albany, New York REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE PROVISION OF ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR: Center Square/Washington Park Roadway/Sidewalk Network Traffic Study RFQ NO. 2021-01 January 4, 2021 IMPORTANT NOTICE: A restricted period under the Procurement Lobbying Law is currently in effect for this Procurement and it will remain in effect until approval of the Contract. Bidders are prohibited from contact related to this procurement with any City of Albany employee other than the designated contacts listed below refer to: Designated Contacts for this Procurement: Primary Contact: Laura Gulfo, Esq. Secondary Contact: William Trudeau Jr. SECTION 1: PURPOSE 1.1 The City of Albany (hereinafter “the City”) hereby requests proposals from qualified engineering firms to provide professional engineering services related to the Center Square/Washington Park Roadway/Sidewalk Network Traffic Study. An initial Study Area Outline Map is included as attachment at end of this document. Minority Business Enterprises and Women's Business Enterprises are encouraged to submit proposals. 1.2 The Center Square & Washington Park areas has a mix of Residential, Governmental, Commercial, and Academic properties. This historic area of the City is vibrant and well established mix of owner occupied and rental residential properties. The businesses in the area are locally owned and operated neighborhood establishments. Center square roadways and sidewalks are narrow by today’s standards. Previous studies have identified the desire to increase sidewalk width to improve pedestrian access and allow more space for the businesses to expand seating outdoors. This movement has been established in other Cities and Towns across the County. The roadways in the Center Square neighborhood have a high AADT as they link to major travel ways of RT5, RT20, ---PAGE BREAK--- 3 RT9W and RT 443. The neighborhoods have a need to maintain parking for the residents (Resident Permit Parking System) Historic Washington Park has a Victorian character and feel but also carries a significant volume of motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Henry Johnson Boulevard is the main thoroughfare through Washington Park. This roadway is also a major emergency vehicle route to the area hospitals on New Scotland Avenue. 1.3 The roadways within the study area have not expanded or changed with the growth of traffic due to lack of right of way or desire not to change the character of the roadways from the small City feel to major collectors. The desire of the neighborhoods within the study area is to keep the feel of traveling through a neighborhood that is lively, vibrant and evolving. Traffic volumes have increased as the institutions adjacent to the study area have grown. The employees, students, and visitor/customers of the institutions are a mix of City residents and non-City residents that use various modes of transportation to reach their destination. This results in longer than typical peak travel periods with increases in traffic flow and in some cases travel speeds. The City has implemented traffic calming and pedestrian safety mitigation in portions of the study area with a desire to continue building on these improvements. As a result the City has determined that a traffic study is prudent and necessary to evaluate the changes and potential changes to the transportation system within the study limits. The study findings must include the desires of the residents, and commercial operators along with the property owners. The consultant must make recommendations for an overall study area roadway and sidewalk system that maximizes the use of the streets and sidewalks as desired by the residents, property owners, Business Improvement Districts, Washington Park Conservancy and Elected officials but does not adversely affect the level of service for overall transportation including emergency services. A complete streets approach to alternatives for the study area is desired from the prospective consultant. 1.4 The consultant shall as a task of the project provide recommendation for traffic flow on each of the study area roadways. Existing one way and two way designations shall be reviewed and may be modified to meet the study goals, overall traffic flow, and pedestrian safety.
