PROJECT(S) OVERVIEW
The Village is interested in contracting for Engineering Services to study and assess condition and connectivity
of all bike/shared use paths within the Village. This includes bike paths/facilities not owned or maintained by
the Village. This will also include looking for and planning for connections to larger regional bike/shared use
paths and developing and improving upon our existing network of facilities and pathways to provide better
and safer bicycle and pedestrian commuting and recreational opportunities. A detailed overview of the project
is available under the Scope of Services starting on page 9. The project overview provides a description of the
needs of the Village of Buffalo Grove to understand the current condition and conne ctivity of the bike path
network within the Village. This project is intended to provide Village officials and staff with a robust
understanding of the needs of the current bicycle facility network and to appropriately plan for the future.
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS PURPOSE
The Village will utilize the results of this request for proposals to select a consultant who can help aid the
Village with determining the current condition and connectivity of the Village’s bike/share use path network
as well as plan for future maintenance and connections through creative and innovative solutions. As projects
are approved by the Village Board, staff will select the three most qualified candidates for the specific scope
of work in a ranked order. The Village will then negotiate a proposal based on that scope with the most
qualified candidate. If an agreement cannot be made, the Village will work with the second most qualified
candidate. If after all three candidates provide proposals on that specific project, the Village will evaluate the
project scope and RFP results in alignment with the Quality Based Selection process. Consultants will be
informed whether or not they have been added to the qualified consultant’s pool after the Evaluation
Committee makes its selections.
