The Town of Morrisville (further referred to as the Town ) is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from interested and qualified firms, organizations, or individuals demonstrating the ability to complete an update to the Town's Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP). The CTP serves as the long-range vision for the Town's multimodal transportation network and identifies a coordinated set of projects, improvements, and policies to achieve that vision. It examines current and future transportation deficiencies and needs, develops solutions to address those needs, prioritizes those solutions to help guide decision makers in pursuit of available funding sources and implementation opportunities, informs regional- and state-level plans and project development decisions, and informs the need for, and scale of, development exactions for transportation facilities to serve the Town's continued development and growth. The Town's current CTP was last adopted in 2019 and covers a planning horizon to 2040. In addition to other anticipated tasks and outcomes, this update is expected to assess what has changed since the adoption of the 2019 CTP; identify, evaluate, and develop solutions for any new or emerging needs through an extended planning horizon to 2045; and revisit some specific recommendations of the 2019 CTP as specified under the Scope of Services section of this RFQ. This commissioned update is not intended to be a full reset or rewrite of the 2019 CTP. It is intended to refresh and fine tune the 2019 CTP to account for new or emerging baseline or developing conditions, evaluate the suitability of pre-existing recommended solutions, identify and examine solutions to any new or emerging needs or necessary tweaks to pre-existing recommendations, and improve its utility for users and decision makers.
Background
The Town of Morrisville is seeking Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified firms, organizations, or individuals to update its Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP).
The CTP serves as a long-range vision for the Town’s multimodal transportation network, identifying projects and policies to address current and future transportation needs. The last CTP was adopted in 2019 and covers a planning horizon to 2040. This update aims to assess changes since 2019, identify new needs through 2045, and refine existing recommendations without completely rewriting the previous plan.
