Triangle Bikeway: General Engineering Consultant for Project Management Assistance

This RFLOI is to solicit responses (LETTERS of INTEREST, or LOIs) from qualified firms to provide professional consulting services to the Capital Area MPO for the following contract Scope of Work:

Assist with Project Management and Oversight on the Triangle Bikeway NEPA and Design Project. The Triangle Bikeway is a bicycle corridor identified through planning and feasibility study work to extend from Research Triangle Park to the City of Raleigh. The Capital Area MPO has contracted with an engineering firm to deliver NEPA documentation and up to at least 90% design for the project. The MPO has accepted management and coordination responsibilities for the project on behalf of member agencies. The MPO seeks professional engineering services to assist the CAMPO Project Manager with guidance and management for the project. This consultant will assist with general project management duties, providing mentorship to CAMPO staff as necessary. The consultant will also provide services related to technical reviews, design compliance, regulatory compliance, client team feedback, task order scoping, and assistance with monitoring scope, schedule and budget for the contract. The consultant will also provide feedback and guidance on control of access breaks, maintenance of traffic issues, structures, at-grade crossings, and FEMA modeling and processes (with Wake or Durham Counties as initiating agency). The consultant will provide technical assistance and guidance during public and stakeholder agency coordination meetings. The consultant will assist the CAMPO Project Manager with identification of risks throughout the design phase, including potential for cost overruns, delays, or unforeseen issues. The consultant will provide assistance with administering Review & Oversight agreements with NCDOT, planning for preparation of permitting coordination, real estate acquisition planning, utilities coordination, bid documents preparation, preparation of needs for eventual CEI, and similar administrative tasks associated with this type of project. Assistance with technical details as the project transitions from project development at the MPO to project construction at another agency may be requested. A familiarity with the Triangle Bikeway project and general project area is desirable. Knowledge of FHWA/NCDOT design and regulatory requirements is imperative.

PROPOSED CONTRACT

Work is anticipated to begin in March or April 2025. Contractor must agree to adhere to CAMPO contract provisions (included at Attachment 1) including all federal requirements. As the project moves out of project development and into construction, some assistance may be desired to coordinate transitional activities.
