Title/Name/Summary
Traffic Impact Studies for the Parks Master Plan, RFP Award
History
As part of the Village’s Parks Master Plan projects, Schussler Park, Centennial Park, and Centennial West Park will all require traffic impact studies to determine parking needs and potential impacts to Village roadways. This is a standard requirement for all public and private developments of this magnitude and complexity in the Village.
On October 5th, 2022, Engineering staff initiated a Request for Proposals (RFP) to pre-qualified engineering firms for traffic and parking impact studies for each of the three parks. Staff accumulated the questions received via email and on October 17th, staff responded to all engineering firms with the complete set of answers. The deadline for proposals was October 18th.
Five (5) proposals were received from the following engineering firms: Baxter & Woodman (B&W), Civiltech, Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL), Strand Associates (Strand), and Thomas Engineering (Thomas). All proposals were considered responsive and qualified for consideration and each proposal can reasonably meet the project deadlines.
Staff evaluated the proposals based on project scope, project requirements, and cost. As mentioned above, traffic and parking studies are often required for development and roadway projects in the Village, therefore, staff applied the same industry standard scope requirements and criteria when evaluating the proposal contents. Staff anticipate that the Centennial West Park and Schussler Park studies will occur shortly after Notice to Proceed is issued, however, the Centennial Park study will be conducted later at a more appropriate date.
Below is the cost breakdown of the proposed fees for each study along with the total fee proposed by each firm:
Schussler Park
B&W: $6,000
Civiltech: $9,014
