File Number: 23-372 2035 General Plan and Complete Streets policy. The update will also satisfy the requirements set forth in the Alameda County Transportation Commission’s “Bicycle Master Plan Guidelines” (January 2015), and the “Toolkit for Improving Walkability in Alameda County” (June 2009). Analysis Two consulting firms responded to the City’s Request for Proposals (RFP). The RFP sought a qualified consultant that specializes in multi-modal mobility and pedestrian/bicycle planning. Fehr & Peers ranked highest based on responsiveness, approach, capacity, ability, experience, and references. The agreement with Fehr & Peers includes a budget of $172,307.00. Staff recommends authorization for amendments in an amount not to exceed 25%. Awarding the CSA will require an appropriation from Measure BB Bicycle and Pedestrian funds of $115,383.75 to provide a total of $215,383.75 to complete the work. The total appropriation will fund the CSA cost as well as a contingency for amendments to the maximum amount of compensation in the CSA. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will be developed with the input of the City Council appointed Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC). The BPAC’s primary mission is to advise upon the development of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. Additionally, the Measure B and BB grant programs require that the Plan be developed with input from an advisory committee such as the BPAC. To gather feedback from citizens, staff will invite the general public to participate in four scheduled BPAC meetings throughout the one-year plan update period. Fehr & Peers will also conduct an online survey to collect data on current bicycle and pedestrian behavior, perceptions, and needs. Outreach for plan input will be completed in multiple languages to ensure access and participation from all interested residents.
