South Tacoma Way Vision Zero Planning Study

The City of Tacoma is seeking a qualified consulting firm to conduct a Vision Zero Planning Study for the South Tacoma Way corridor (approximately 2.1 mi). The effort includes project management, review of an existing traffic study, extensive community outreach, environmental and utility surveys, and delivery of 30 % design plans and specifications for multimodal safety improvements. The contract is a cost‑plus fixed‑fee arrangement funded by the Washington Climate Commitment Act, with a target completion date of 31 Dec 2026 and potential follow‑on work in later phases. • Conduct community engagement (charrettes, advisory council, surveys, outreach in multiple languages). • Perform detailed ROW/topographic survey, GIS mapping, and utility inventories for the corridor. • Produce 30 % design packages—including traffic‑calming, lane reconfiguration, pedestrian and bike infrastructure, and cost estimates—aligned with WSDOT standards. • Manage project schedule, deliverables, and compliance with state funding and insurance requirements. • Opportunity for subsequent phases (pre‑engineering, ROW acquisition, construction) if performance is satisfactory.
