Route 60 Redesign Service

The City of Malden, Massachusetts, is seeking a qualified designer to provide redesign services for Route 60. The agency needs to address safety concerns, optimize corridor design, and engage the local community throughout the planning process. To solve these challenges, the selected partner must conduct field observations of existing roadway and pathway intersections, analyze recent crash data in coordination with local police and state records, and perform a comprehensive parking study to inform the redesign. The scope of work requires the designer to develop a quick-build improvement plan based on the pre-25% design and the parking study results. The designer must also prepare a preliminary design cost estimate, including preliminary right-of-way plans, and submit a project design schedule with monthly updates. Additionally, the agency requires a robust public engagement plan, presentation materials for meetings, and meeting summaries with action items distributed to the city and consultant team within seventy-two hours of each session. Eligibility is limited to onshore organizations based in the United States, and the performance of the work must take place onsite in Malden. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the online portal, though the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to define the cost. The agency must receive all questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 6, 2026.
