Safe Streets and Roads for All Safety Action Plan and Planning Guidelines

The Stanislaus County Department of Public Works is soliciting proposals under RFP 2026-002 for a qualified consulting firm to provide professional transportation planning, engineering, and public engagement services. The primary objective is the development of a Comprehensive Safe Streets and Roads for All Safety Action Plan (SAP) and Complete Streets Guidelines, adhering to the federal safe systems approach and the USDOT National Roadway Safety Strategy. The final SAP must encompass eight key components, including leadership commitment, safety analysis, equity considerations, and a public reporting strategy, all aimed at achieving the goal of zero roadway deaths. Proposals are due by November 19, 2026, and must be submitted to James Ashby at the Modesto, California office. Submissions require four hard copies and one digital copy on a USB thumb drive, with a strict page limit of 12 single-sided pages, excluding resumes. Selection is based on qualifications and proposal quality, with non-qualifications based criteria capped at 10 percent of the total evaluation. The chosen consultant will be compensated on a time and materials basis, with monthly invoicing and a 30-day payment term for undisputed invoices. Key compliance requirements include strict adherence to WCAG 2.1 Level AA for all digital deliverables to ensure ADA accessibility. Consultants must also certify compliance with economic sanctions regarding Russia's actions in Ukraine and disclose lobbying activities via Exhibit 10-Q. The contract requires the maintenance of comprehensive insurance against personal injury and property damage for the duration of the project. All work is performed within Stanislaus County, and the consultant is responsible for maintaining updated project schedules in both PDF and Microsoft Office formats.
