Traffic Signal Modifications for Chapel Street Two-Way Conversion - College Street to York Street

The City of New Haven is soliciting bids from qualified contractors to convert a designated segment of Chapel Street, between College Street and York Street, from one-way to two-way traffic flow as part of a phased infrastructure upgrade. This initial phase involves implementing various traffic signal modifications, including the installation of new mast arms, pedestrian pedestals, signal heads, and upgraded pedestrian equipment such as APS push buttons and Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) phases. Additionally, the project entails adjusting signal timing, installing new signage, and restriping pavement markings, while excluding the design and construction of ADA sidewalk ramps at intersections. The project aims to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety in alignment with future phases of the larger Chapel Street conversion initiative. The contract, identified under solicitation number 2024-IFB-133, is estimated to be valued between $500,000 and $1,500,000, with a response deadline set for January 15, 2025. The project is managed by the Connecticut office of the City of New Haven, with Sandeep Aysola serving as the primary contact. The procurement process includes adherence to new EEOC fee requirements, compliance with local fines and penalties for permit violations, and adherence to contractual obligations such as insurance, wage rates, and equal opportunity programs. The comprehensive scope emphasizes coordination with existing infrastructure, traffic management, and safety standards, setting the foundation for subsequent phases of the Chapel Street conversion project.
