Pasadena Citywide Active Transportation Plan (ATP) Project

The City of Pasadena is seeking qualified consulting firms to develop a comprehensive Citywide Active Transportation Plan (ATP), funded through the Federal Highway Administration’s Safe Streets and Roads for All program. This project aims to build upon previous planning efforts, including the 2024 Pedestrian Transportation Action Plan, 2021 Greenways Feasibility Study, 2015 Bicycle Transportation Action Plan, and 2006 Pedestrian Plan, to create an integrated vision promoting walking, biking, and rolling throughout the city. The plan must adhere to all SS4A Action Plan requirements and align with current updates to Pasadena’s Specific Plans, ensuring a cohesive approach to active transportation infrastructure and policy development. The contract size ranges from $500,000 to $2,000,000, with a response deadline of August 15, 2025, and the project is managed by the Pasadena Transportation Department, with Talin Shahbazian serving as the primary contact. The procurement process emphasizes compliance with various city regulations, including conflict of interest disclosures, taxpayer protection amendments, and non-collusion declarations, which are integral to bid submission and contract execution. Vendors are required to submit detailed forms certifying adherence to equal opportunity employment, licensing, workforce utilization, and legal standards, with specific attention to transparency and ethical conduct. The contract will incorporate detailed provisions regarding scope of services, personnel responsibilities, subcontracting restrictions, wage and benefit requirements, and performance standards. The engagement will involve key personnel and possibly sub-consultants, with formal documentation outlining their roles and commitments. Overall, the project represents a significant effort to enhance Pasadena’s active transportation network through strategic planning, stakeholder collaboration, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.
