Soquel Corridor Safety Project

The City of Santa Cruz is seeking a qualified transportation‑engineering consulting firm to develop planning‑level design, traffic analysis, and cost‑estimating documentation to support a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 13 grant application for the Soquel Corridor. The consultant will use the city’s draft Safety Action Plan, existing traffic data, and development studies to evaluate and refine proposed safety and multimodal improvements along Soquel Avenue (River Street South to Seabright Avenue). Work includes: • Review of existing conditions and traffic data; • Development of conceptual designs for signalized and unsignalized intersections (e.g., no‑turn‑on‑red, leading‑pedestrian‑intervals, protected left‑turns, RRFBs, median islands); • Design of separated bike lanes and Class 2 bike facilities where needed; • Preparation of planning‑level cost estimates and contingency; • Production of traffic analysis and documentation required for the HSIP grant application; • Delivery of interim deliverables (Sept 27, Oct 12) and final deliverables (Oct 26) within a three‑month contract period.
