Moreno Valley Supplementary Safety Improvement Plan, Phase II Project No. 810 0024

The City of Moreno Valley is requesting solicitations to enhance the Action Plan that is currently in the works of being developed by providing supplementary safety improvements to the plan. The City is interested in improving the safety by adding to the Action Plan which is currently in the works of being developed by improving traffic safety for the following modules: Commercial Vehicle Network Safety, Safety Improvements at Signalized Intersections, and School Route and Pedestrian Safety. The first module proposes to develop a Commercial Vehicle Network Safety Plan. The City’s current plan was developed five years ago. This is critical because the City of Moreno Valley has since then developed many new warehouses and other developments. Some of the existing roadways do not have the capacity to handle trucks and their loads. Additionally, new developments requiring trucks will need to abide by AB 98 requirements. The second module involves Signalized Intersection Improvements. The purpose of this is to reduce rear ended collisions with green band via interconnected traffic signals/ITS development. This is important because according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 21% of crashes and 24% of all fatalities and injuries related to motor vehicle collisions occur at signalized intersections. Furthermore, traffic signals play a key role in enhancing safety. Adequate traffic signal coordination must be enforced at all traffic signals. Hence, a traffic signal fiber network plan with appropriate countermeasures must be developed. The final module for this proposed project involves safety improvements for schools and school routes for increased pedestrian safety. The goal of this module is to provide aid to troubled schools that need the assistance that are located within the City.You are hereby invited to submit a proposal for providing Professional Consultant Services for the Transportation Engineering Division.  The selected consultants could be retained to serve the City for a period of Twelve (12) Months subject to the approval of the City Council.
