RFQ 24-08 for Preliminary Design, Environmental Clearances, and Data

Overview 
During July 2023, the city applied for a $750,184 Multi -Modal Access Grant from TDOT to 
improve five intersections along Green Street, namely the intersections of Forrest Avenue, Atlantic 
Street, Ingleside Avenue, Eastanallee Avenue, and Sunset Drive. The improvements will include 
sidewalks, bike lanes, pedestrian crossing signals, retime traffic signals, ADA compliance, and 
stormwater facilities. This project was identified in the Traffic Safety Action Plan (2025) prepared 
by Kimley Horn Engineers and the Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan (2023). The city was notified 
during early 2025 that the grant was awarded with the state share being 90% ($675,166) and the 
city share being 10% ($75,018). After conducting an RFQ process, Kimley Horn Engineers is 
recommended to the City Council by the staff review committee to perform this street 
improvement project. Their scope of work for this phase includes preliminary design, 
environmental clearances, survey data, and utility data for a fee of $127,800. Phase II, which will 
be budgeted and occur during FY 2025- 26, will consist of preparing construction documents, 
bidding, and actual construction.
