The City of Waco, through its Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP 2026-017) seeking qualified consultants to conduct a comprehensive transportation signage inventory and implement targeted safety demonstration projects within McLennan County, Texas. The objective of this project is to identify, document, and address deficiencies in roadway signage that pose safety risks to all transportation system users, particularly focusing on issues caused by inconsistent, deteriorated, or missing signage. This initiative is especially important in rural and small-community settings where unclear signage can elevate the likelihood of crashes by causing uncertainty among drivers and pedestrians. The solicitation was posted on April 21, 2026, with proposals due by May 20, 2026. Interested parties are encouraged to join a non-mandatory pre-submittal meeting scheduled for April 28, 2026, via Zoom to better understand project requirements and expectations. Contact for the procurement includes Paul Campos, the primary purchasing agent, along with other members of the City of Waco’s purchasing team, whose contact information is provided for inquiries. The project aims to enhance roadway safety through a detailed evaluation of existing signage and the implementation of demonstration projects designed to improve traffic safety outcomes across the planning area.
