Safe Routes to School Safety Action Plan Services

The Fresno Council of Governments in Fresno, California is seeking a vendor to provide safe routes to school safety action plan services. The agency needs a coordinated, countywide framework to evaluate safety conditions, prioritize infrastructure and non-infrastructure improvements, and support future funding and implementation efforts. The selected vendor will review existing federal, state, and local plans, policies, and guidelines using evidence-based data and trend analysis, including crash trends, safety gaps, and existing countermeasure strategies. The scope of work requires evaluating existing efforts and walk audits to build upon prior work and address school sites that have not been fully studied. The agency expects the development of analysis methodologies and the identification of key safe routes to school indicators, with input from the agency and the working group. The project covers pedestrian, bicyclist, and location analyses to identify vulnerable corridors and routes serving students. Additionally, the vendor must assess student travel patterns, including walking, biking, and bus use, and evaluate safety conditions related to bus stops, pick-up/drop-off areas, crosswalks, and school zones. Bidders must perform all work onsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The agency is accepting digital responses submitted via email or online, and bidders must submit any questions regarding the opportunity no later than June 03, 2026. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine costs for a contract period of one year.
