The vendor is required to provide from qualified professional consultants who seek to assist in developing a safe streets and roads for all (SS4A) comprehensive safety action plan for greater city.
- The plan will identify existing conditions and historical trends to provide a baseline level of crashes involving fatalities and serious injuries including an analysis of locations where there are crashes and the severity of the crashes, as well as contributing factors and crash types by relevant road users (motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists, transit users, etc.).
- The vision zero safety action plan will also recommend a comprehensive set of projects and strategies, create a prioritization framework for future project implementation countermeasures, including new policies, guidelines, and standards, that are shaped by data, the best available evidence, and noteworthy practices, as well as extensive stakeholder input that considers non-traditional approaches to solicit engagement and outreach that addresses the identified safety problems.
- Leadership commitment and goal setting
• Include an official public commitment (e.g., resolution, policy, and ordinance) by the mayor and city council to an eventual goal of zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries.
• The commitment must include a goal and timeline for eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries achieved through one, or both, of the following:
o The target date for achieving zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries, or
o An ambitious percentage reduction of roadway fatalities and serious injuries by a specific date with an eventual goal of eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries.
o Provide a draft and final resolution at the outset of the project.
- Planning structure
• Describe and report on the past and planned activities of the committee, task force, or similar body that is tasked with overseeing action plan development, implementation, and monitoring.
- Safety analysis
• The consultant(s) will produce an analysis of existing conditions and historical trends that provides a baseline level of crashes involving fatalities and serious injuries within and adjacent to the boundaries of the city.
• In addition, data pertaining to property damage-only crashes, near-misses, and other relevant data collected from community input should also be included in the analysis.
• The plan will include an analysis of locations where there are crashes and the severity of the crashes, as well as contributing factors and crash types by relevant road users including the following:
o Vehicle crashes: contributing factors for the 15 highest vehicular crash locations
o Bicycle crashes: contributing factors for the 10 highest crash locations which involve cyclists
o Pedestrian crashes: contributing factors for the 10 highest crash locations involving pedestrians
o Other crashes: contributing factors for the 5 highest crash locations involving alternate travel modes not included above, such as micro-mobility, public transportation, and commercial operators
• Systemic and specific safety needs are to be analyzed (e.g., high-risk road features, specific safety needs of relevant road users, public health approaches, analysis of the built environment, demographic and structural issues, etc.).

• To the extent practical, the analysis should include all roadways within the jurisdiction without regard for ownership.
• The consultant(s) should describe their approach to data collection and analysis of existing conditions in the study area.
• Provide the benefits and disadvantages of future data collection with respect to the city police department or the city engineer staff for the purpose of reporting over a period of five (5) years
• Research existing conditions and historical trends and provide a baseline level of crashes involving fatalities and serious injuries across greater city and adjoining jurisdiction county on the north Indian creek drive-Montreal Road corridor
• Discuss accident data sources and opportunities to obtain form non-traditional sources such as the gm vehicle data software, vendor software, etc.
- Engagement and collaboration
• The development of the comprehensive action plan requires robust engagement with the public and relevant stakeholders, including the private sector and community groups, that allows for both community representation and feedback.
• Information received from engagement and collaboration is to be analyzed and incorporated into the action plan.
• Plans and processes are coordinated and aligned with other governmental plans and planning processes to the extent practical.
• The engagement and coordination shall also occur with county and their awarded ss4a grant on all cross jurisdictional roadway and street networks within the study area.
• The engagement strategy should include the overall outreach and engagement framework, approach, process and schedule, strategies, and format.
• It should also include a list of materials and/or media to be developed to implement that framework, including notices and announcements, public meeting agendas, publicity materials, presentations, display boards, project website, etc.
- Outreach and stakeholder considerations
• Develop the action plan using a representative process
• Collaborate with translation/interpretation partners where language barriers may exist.
• Consider the impact of proposed projects and strategies as it relates to the significant non-English speaking immigrant population and their understanding of the proposed improvements.
- Strategy and project selections for safety action plan
• Explain criteria used for prioritization
• Research case studies and best practices throughout the us and provide a list of potential countermeasures.
• The consultant(s) shall also consider non-traditional systems such as automated reckless speed warning devices, and other approaches that are not currently utilized and approved by the administration
• Projects and strategies should focus on infrastructure, behavioral and/or operational safety and be shaped by data, the best available evidence and noteworthy practices, and stakeholder input considerations that will address the safety problems described in the action plan.
• The consultant(s) should describe their experience with the safe systems approach, vision zero, complete streets, public rights-of-way accessibility guidelines (PROWAG), and other road safety practices.
• Strategies and projects will cover physical improvements and implementation recommendations for at least forty (40) of the highest crash prone locations and will include a combination of low cost, low-tech designs with more complex interventions which are data-driven and innovative.
