Bay Street Microsimulation Modeling

The Chatham County – Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC), representing the Coastal Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (CORE MPO) and the City of Savannah, is seeking proposals for Engineering Design Consultant Services to develop a microsimulation model for Bay Street, covering approximately 1.3 miles from Fahm Street to East President Street in Savannah, Georgia. The project aims to create a calibrated microsimulation model designed to evaluate various operational and capacity improvement scenarios. This model will quantify impacts on traffic delay, queueing, travel time, and multimodal interactions, providing a data-driven foundation for decision-making. The study's outcomes will assist CORE MPO and the City of Savannah in identifying cost-effective strategies to enhance freight movement, improve pedestrian and multimodal safety, and maintain the National Historic Landmark District’s functional integrity. Additionally, the project results will aid future capital investment decisions and facilitate stakeholder engagement through clear visual representations of corridor performance and improvement alternatives. Proposals for this solicitation, identified as PE-62550-NONST-2026-000000008, must be submitted by June 1, 2026, with further details available through the Coastal Region Metropolitan Planning Organization.
