Summary Description of Project
The Town of Bedford, Massachusetts, Bedford Town Hall, Ten Mudge Way, Bedford, MA 01730, hereby solicits proposals from qualified individuals/firms from architects and/or engineers to prepare a pedestrian and bicycle master plan for the Town of Bedford. This procurement is exempt from the terms of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Uniform Procurement Act (M.G.L. c. 30B), and hence, will not be subject to its terms.
The Bedford, Massachusetts Healthy Bedford Task Force and Bicycle Advisory Committee, with other departments and committees, has initiated a Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan project to improve walking and riding capacity and connectivity throughout the town. A Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan will help the Town identify and prioritize capital investments to improve and expand the pedestrian and bicycle network in Bedford. These investments will build upon the existing sidewalk, trail and bicycle route network and give residents of all ages more transportation options for local and area trips.
The Consultant/Successful Proposer shall produce a Final Plan Report that designates priority improvement projects; these endeavors over time will significantly improve and expand Bedford’s network of non-automobile travel modes and increase connectivity within it. The Final Plan Report shall explain the opportunities and constraints that are involved in each undertaking, identifying the physical, spatial, financial and practical factors that define each project. The Plan Report shall integrate all necessary elements of the mapping, graphic illustrations, statistics, photographs and diagrams that emanated from the public process and outreach underlying the project. The document shall explain the strategic transportation importance of each corridor and node identified and shall present sufficient technical detail to make each recommended project clear. It shall be a blueprint for Bedford moving toward an alternate transportation infrastructure that ultimately will reduce auto trips around town and enhance the wellness of its users.
