FY26-DDOT-TPA-Suitland Parkway Trail Preliminary Design

The District of Columbia Department of Transportation is forecasting a preliminary design contract for the rehabilitation of the Suitland Parkway Trail, targeted for fiscal year 2026. This effort focuses on early-stage planning and engineering work to prepare for future improvements to the trail, which serves as a key pedestrian and nonmotorized transportation corridor. The solicitation is posted as a forecast, indicating it is not yet open for bids but signals the agency’s intent to proceed with design services in the coming fiscal period. No specific set aside provisions, NAICS codes, or point of contact details are provided at this time, and the place of performance remains unspecified, though the project is understood to be located within the District of Columbia. The contract will involve developing preliminary engineering designs to address the trail’s current conditions and identify rehabilitation needs, potentially including structural upgrades, surfacing, drainage, accessibility enhancements, and integration with surrounding infrastructure. The work will support long-term goals for multimodal connectivity, safety, and active transportation within the city. While details such as budget, timeline, and vendor eligibility criteria have not yet been released, interested parties should monitor the official DC contracts portal for updates as the solicitation progresses toward a formal request for proposals.
