Description
The City of Decatur is soliciting sealed bids for the 2026 City of Decatur Church St and Clairemont Ave Quick Build Safety Project. This project involves delivering accelerated, cost-effective safety improvements using materials such as pavement markings, modular barriers, vertical delineators, planters, and raised crossing elements. The project aims to make Church Street and Clairemont Avenue more inviting for pedestrians and cyclists while maintaining existing vehicular travel lanes. The selected consultant/contractor must be prepared to work in close partnership with City staff to translate conceptual plans into field-ready layouts.
• The project includes right-sizing the existing five-lane section to one travel lane in each direction with a center turn lane, installing protected bike lanes, and addressing deficient sidewalk panels.
• The project also involves lane narrowing, new pavement markings, reverse-angle and on-street parking adjustments, installation of a raised crosswalk, and implementation of a pedestrian scramble phase at E. Ponce de Leon Avenue.
• The City expects an adaptive, solutions-oriented team comfortable working in a dense, urban environment, capable of meeting accelerated schedules, and maintaining positive relationships with corridor businesses and the public.
• The project must be completed within 45 days of notice to proceed, and the City intends to complete the project before the World Cup begins on June 19th, 2026.
