RFQ - BeltLine Transit Planning Study

Questions Due Date: Aug 17th 2022, 3:00 PM EDT Perform corridor analysis ABI is seeking an engineering consultant to conduct an alternatives analysis and planning study for BeltLine light-rail/streetcar (LRT/SC) transit corridors through the northwest quadrant of the BeltLine loop, generally between MARTA Lindbergh station and MARTA Bankhead station (about 5.4 miles). Investigations shall include alignment alternatives within the CSX and Norfolk Southern freight rail corridors, alignment alternatives adjacent to these freight rail corridors, and alignment alternatives separate from these freight rail corridors. The Project will perform corridor analysis with the intent to establish a preferred alignment, along with generalized platform locations, potential traction power substation locations, vehicle maintenance and storage facility locations, and access points to the public ROW. It will also establish a series of spur trail connections to the transit corridor at planned transit stop locations, linking BeltLine mainline trail and other local/regional trails with transit. There has been discussion about a possible MARTA infill rail station at the Armor/Ottley area; building on that possibility, the project will also include a scenario connecting and terminating the BeltLine transit at a proposed infill station. An equity analysis will be required for the alternatives and VMSF facilities. For the selected transit alignment(s), advance data collection will be conducted to provide advanced information to establish updated construction cost estimates, as well as utility investigations and coordination, topographic and boundary survey work, geotechnical investigations, and traffic studies. Pre-NEPA level planning work to evaluate potential impacts of the project will also be included. This effort will move the project toward a Tier 2 NEPA analysis as required by the Tier 1 EIS Record of Decision. Respondents are strongly encouraged to utilize DBE firms in all aspects of the work. The agency's overall goal for participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) is 22.82%. Respondents shall be proactive in their outreach to DBE firms to ensure the established goal is met and shall submit a summary of their good-faith effort. Deadline for questions and clarifications Aug. 17, 2022 The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
