Title
Contract Approval: Bus on Shoulder Study
Shelby Powell, MPO Staff
Body
The MPO received five responses to our recent Request for Proposals to conduct a Bus on Shoulder Study for the Triangle region. The responses were reviewed by a team comprised of staff from CAMPO, Durham Chapel Hill Carrboro (DCHC) MPO, GoTriangle and NCDOT. The review team unanimously selected the proposal from HDR, Inc as the top candidate firm. This proposal was selected due to the combination of local experience and knowledge of the study area, an acute understanding of the transit and roadway elements of Bus on Shoulder projects, and national expertise in Bus on Shoulder operations and design. The proposed contract is for $99,978, which is within the budget of $100,000 in our adopted FY 2021 UPWP. The study will be funded jointly by CAMPO and GoTriangle, and will be supported in a technical capacity by DCHC MPO and NCDOT. The study is expected to be completed between July 2020 and June 2021.
Requested Action: Action Approve contract with HDR, Inc for the Bus on Shoulder Study, and authorize the Executive Director to execute the contract.
