CITY OF SEATTLE
Request for Statement of Qualifications
Consultant Services
==========================================
Project: SDOT 21-021
Seattle Transportation Plan
The City of Seattle, through Seattle Department of Transportation, requests Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from qualified firms for SDOT 21-021 Seattle Transportation Plan.
Estimated funding available to support the Plan's scope of work is $2.2 million, subject to budget approval. Should additional funding become available, other tasks may be added to the scope of work. The project is anticipated to be a multi-year contract for up to 3 years (Q4 2021-Q4 2024); the majority of work is expected to be performed in the first 21 months to coordinate with the City's concurrent Comprehensive Plan update (to be completed by others).
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) seeks consultant services to support development of a citywide, multi-modal transportation plan (Plan). As the City of Seattle continues to plan for growth, we require a transportation plan that will:
Development of the transportation plan will establish an updated transportation blueprint for Seattle and will run concurrent with the City's update of its 2024 Comprehensive Plan, a 20-year blueprint to guide and manage growth (to be completed by others). Together, these projects provide an opportunity to engage community in land use and transportation planning conversations, with opportunities to leverage public engagement activities between the two planning efforts. Additionally, with the expiration of the City's 9-year, $930 million transportation levy in 2024, the Plan can help inform development of a future transportation funding package that captures our collective desire for and commitment to create a racially-just transportation and public space system that addresses safety and the climate emergency.
