This solicitation seeks to procure a consultant to conduct data collection efforts to support the Active Transportation Project Evaluation and Monitoring program. **Solicitation Type**: RFP - Request for Proposal (Formal) **Source ID**: PU.AG.USA.1309051.C10476351 **Piggyback Contract**: No **Question Acceptance Deadline**: 08/07/2026 08:00 PM EDT **Questions are submitted online**: Yes **Bid Submission Type**: Electronic Bid Submission **Solicitation Number**: SOL1567828 **Reference Number**: 0000431784 **Pricing**: In attached document **Bid Documents List**: | Item Name | Description | Mandatory | Limited to 1 file | |---|---|---|---| | Bid Documents | Documents defining the proposal | Yes | No | **Questions and Answers**: | Question | Answer | |---|---| | The Project Summary and Introduction state the consultant will "conduct data collection efforts," and Task 2 is titled "Collect and Analyze Pre/Post-Construction Data for EAP Bikeways (Approximately 144 Unique Data Collection Events)." However, the Scope of Work Purpose and Tasks 2 and 4 describe the consultant coordinating with "counts vendors," providing "data collection forms and instructions for counts vendor," and supporting reinstalls through SANDAG's Job Order Contracting process. Please clarify: Is the selected prime consultant expected to perform and/or subcontract the actual field data collection (the counts), or does SANDAG procure field counts separately, with the consultant responsible for coordination, QA/QC, compilation, analysis, and reporting? | Prime consultant is expected to perform and subcontract the actual field data collection. | | Task 2 requires data to be "stored and maintained in an Excel database," while Task 5 requires the database to be "migrated to SQL," and Task 4 deliverables call for data in "Excel format" and an "MS2 specified schema/file format." Would SANDAG consider proposals that use an alternative, modern data storage solution (for example, a relational/cloud database or equivalent) as the system of record, provided that SANDAG staff can readily extract and export data in Excel format and that the solution meets the reporting, exchange, and documentation requirements of Tasks 2–6? If so, are there platform, hosting, security, or licensing constraints the solution must satisfy? | No, consultant will need to use existing Excel database. | | Task 2 indicates approximately 144 "Unique Data Collection Events" are anticipated for this project. Can SANDAG define what constitutes a single data collection event? For example, is one multimodal intersection count at a single intersection one event, or is an entire EAP project corridor with multiple intersection counts considered one event? Additionally, does a 'unique data collection event' count baseline ('before') and post-construction ('after') collection at the same location as two separate events or one? | Data collection events are short duration user counts at a single location. | | Will the selected consultant be provided the existing database and its schema? Will the consultant be expected to migrate or incorporate this historical data into the updated database/platform (referenced in Tasks 3 and 5)? | Yes, to both questions | | Section V lists the proposal narrative content in parts A through K, and Section V.C (Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work) states that section "should be limited to no more than 15 pages." However, the RFP Checklist (List of Submittals Required with Proposal) labels its first submittal row "Proposal – Limit: 15 Pages," which could be read to cap the entire proposal narrative at 15 pages. Please confirm whether the 15-page limit applies only to the Proposed Method to Accomplish the Work section (V.C), or to the entire written proposal (Sections A–K). If the latter, please confirm which items are excluded from the page count (e.g., the required forms listed separately on the checklist, and key-personnel resumes furnished as an appendix per Section V.B). | The 15 page limit is just for proposed method to accomplish the work, not a cap for the entire proposal. Things like required forms, or employee resumes, do not count towards the limit. | | For Item B, should we supply information for vendors? (e.g., count firms) | Sorry, I have looked through both the RFP and Draft SSA and could not find anything marked as Item B. Can you clarify which section you are asking this question about? |
