SCAG is seeking a qualified Consultant to plan, promote, design, and evaluate Quick Build projects for four (4) local jurisdictions. Consistent with the requirements of the California Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 4 grant that funds this project, SCAG is seeking a qualified Consultant to plan, promote, design, and evaluate four (4) Quick Build projects in the Cities of Pasadena, El Monte, Calexico, and Glendale. A Quick Build is a pilot infrastructure project that provides opportunities for jurisdictions to test active transportation and first/last mile infrastructure (i.e. protected bike lanes, curb extensions, high-visibility crosswalks, scramble cross-walk, cycle track, etc.), engage the local community, collect and evaluate feedback and data, and expedite full build-out of active transportation infrastructure. Quick Build projects allow moderate design flexibility to anticipate adjustments and immediately implement safety needs, allowing a community to benefit quickly from improvements, and to test out and provide input before they are permanently constructed. This project supports the goals outlined in the adopted 2020 Connect SoCal, the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) Active Transportation Technical Report. This project supports regional planning by advancing active transportation in local jurisdictions, supporting equitable public engagement, reducing motorized Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), and aims to reduce local and regional greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Quick Build projects shall contribute to and utilize SCAG’s Active Transportation Database. The Regional Active Transportation Database (ATDB) is used to collect and map bicycle and pedestrian count data at specific locations to help determine where walking and biking are occurring, compare it to collision data, and plan for infrastructure improvements. Through SCAG’s established, award-winning Go Human program model, the Consultant shall implement one Go Human kick-off event in each Quick Build City. Go Human events provide an opportunity to educate and engage residents and stakeholders on active transportation safety and encouragement and showcase innovative design treatments that are catalytic in maximizing walking and biking in the community. The events are effective in communicating safety and encouragement messaging and instrumental in advancing infrastructure projects either in conceptual, design or implementation phases. The Go Human Kick-Off events shall serve as the commencement of each Quick Build project to maximize opportunities for public input and build excitement around the Quick Build projects. About SCAG Founded in 1965, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is the nation’s largest Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Council of Governments. The SCAG region encompasses six counties (Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura) and 191 cities in an area covering more than 38,000 square miles. The agency develops long-range regional transportation plans including a sustainable communities strategy and growth forecast components, regional transportation improvement programs, regional housing needs allocations, and a portion of the South Coast Air Quality management plans. About Go Human Go Human is a nationally recognized, award winning community outreach and advertising campaign with the goals of reducing traffic collisions and encouraging people to walk and bike more in the SCAG region. Go Human campaign is a collaboration between SCAG and the health departments and transportation commissions from six counties in the region – Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura. Since its inception in August 2016, the campaign has achieved over 1 billion impressions. In addition to the advertising Campaign, Go Human develops tactical urbanism projects and events intended to support local governments throughout the six-county SCAG region. Go Human collaborates with cities to transform local streets through temporary improvements, innovative street and curb design demonstrations, educational activities and other strategies. Activities aim to raise awareness around traffic safety issues, as well as provide opportunities to test complete streets concepts (concepts that will make it safer for people to walk and bike) with the public. Community engagement and feedback has been a critical component of these events. To date, SCAG and Go Human partner cities have completed over 40 projects and is planning to support more jurisdictions through the Kit of Parts and Quick Build efforts in 2020 and beyond. NOTE: In response to the COVID-19 public health pandemic, virtual meetings will be accepted, at the discretion of the SCAG and City Project Managers, in lieu of in-person meetings, while physical distancing measures remain in effect. Duration and attendance targets will still need to be met, and the Consultant must describe how virtual meetings will produce meaningful community engagement and input. In addition, if physical distancing measures remain in effect, Consultant shall adjust approach to community engagement activities and bicycle and pedestrian counts and audits according to City, county, state and national public health guidelines. Duration targets will still need to be met, and the Consultant must describe how adjusted approach will still produce meaningful count results and input
