Joint Transportation Commuter Plan, Bremerton WA

CITY OF BREMERTON NOTICE TO CONSULTANTS Request for Proposals for the Joint Transportation Commuter Plan Bremerton, Washington The City of Bremerton, Public Works and Utilities, solicits proposals from consulting firms with expertise in Transportation Planning and Civil and Structural Engineering Design. This agreement will be for approximately two years in duration with the option for the City of Bremerton to extend it for additional time and phases if necessary. The City of Bremerton reserves the right to amend terms of this “Request for Proposals” (RFP), to circulate various addenda, or to withdraw the RFP at any time, regardless of how much time and effort consultants have spent on their responses. Project Description and Schedule The Joint Compatibility Transportation Plan is intended to outline regional transportation network improvements necessary to address the impacts of NBK commuters on the economic vitality of the City of Bremerton, and ensure NBK accessibility, critical

mobility and quality of life are maintained. Success of this plan will ensure NBK meets its missions for national defense while supporting Bremerton’s long-range growth needs. The plan will document the specific purpose and need for improvements, develop and screen a range of reasonable alternatives, and identify preferred alternatives for transportation improvements and parking solutions in the study area. It will build on background planning, studies, parking inventories, and other ongoing efforts including those prepared by the City, Kitsap Transit, NBK, Kitsap County, and other regional agencies, as well as supplemental data collected by the selected consultant. The final Joint Compatibility Transportation Plan will identify short, mid, and long-term capital and operational improvements prioritized based on metrics determined during the course of the study that are clear, useful, and actionable. Proposed improvements may be located within the study area or outside of it, for example, a park-and-ride facility that would be served by transit service to NBK could be sited in a location outside of the study area. The plan will develop conceptual planning level cost estimates for select preferred alternatives for ROW, design, and construction.
