Description
*** Addendum #1 has been posted on February 14th, 2025 *** The Town of Banff (“The Town”) is seeking a qualified engineering consulting firm to provide professional services in the field of transportation and municipal engineering. The successful firm will develop designs for a project to construct a bike lane facility on Compound Road, Banff, Alberta. *** Introduction*** Situated within the breathtaking landscapes of the UNESCO World Heritage Canadian Mountain Parks, this project aims to enhance safe cycling infrastructure and promote alternative transportation options for residents commuting between the main townsite and the industrial area. The Town of Banff is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced design teams to develop a bike lane facility along Compound Road, linking Banff Ave to Hawk Ave. One of the four priorities for the Town of Banff in its current strategic plan is improving sustainable transportation. The town looks to develop new and enhanced active mode infrastructure wherever feasible. The successful design will integrate seamlessly with the existing roadways adhering to the highest standards of safety, accessibility, and environmental stewardship, while minimizing capital expenditure by making use of and avoiding costly modifications to existing infrastructure. The location of the proposed bike lane is outside of the Municipal Town boundary, as such ultimately the designs will be reviewed and accepted by Parks Canada as well as the Town of Banff. Refer to the Form of Proposal for more information on the required content of proposals. **** Scope of Engineering Services*** Firms shall have an Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) Permit to Practice. The successful Proponent will provide engineering design services for the project and if the project proceeds to construction, the firm will be invited to provide a proposal for construction phase support services. The Town anticipates that the design services will ultimately include, but may not be limited to the following • Field inspection of the proposed location – a topographical survey has not yet been completed. • Assess alternative route options • Develop designs for a bike lane facility on compound road • Develop traffic safety assessments and use the results of the assessment to develop intersection improvement designs for each end of the bike lane and at the CPKC rail crossing • Project management of the engineering team
