Request for Proposals (RFP)

SS4A Action Plan for Lincoln County, Wyoming Roadway Safety

Project Overview:

The Safe Streets for All (SS4A) program funds Action Plans to drive roadway fatalities to zero.  This Safety Action Plan will focus on activities, strategies and projects that could reduce fatalities and accidents on all roads within the county, for all modes of transportation.  This includes municipalities and public lands (both federal and state).

Lincoln County is located along the western border of Wyoming with Utah and Idaho.  It is south of Teton County, Wyoming and Grand Teton & Yellowstone National Parks.  The Snake River and Palisades Reservoir are located at the north end of the county and the southern boundary (approximately 150 miles south) is with Uinta County, Wyoming.  Approximately 74% of the county is in federal ownership, predominantly the US Forest Service (FS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).  The northern portion of the county is a popular retirement area and tourist route to the national parks and FS.  FS and BLM lands are popular outdoor recreation areas throughout the county.  The southern portion of the county is heavily industrial and is the location of TerraPower’s Natrium nuclear plant construction.

Project Cost, Period of Performance and Objective of Final Plan:

The budget for this SS4A project is $340,000.00.  There are two phases:  Base Phase is Pre-NEPA—NEPA issues will be identified where known data supports the identification, to facilitate implementation of the Action Plan in the future.  As there is no demonstration component, there will be no NEPA work.  Planning Phase—The planning phase includes:

Project Management

Review of existing data and plans, focusing on projects with a safety component

Meetings and Coordination – coordination with municipalities within the county who have been awarded SS4A funds is required, at this time the town of Alpine and the city of Kemmerer have been awarded funding as has the county for a separate planning grant with other county partners to do planning for the implementation of NextGen 911.  The NextGen 911 may have applicability to all safety planning and particularly for that on public lands.  Those municipalities that do not have funding for a safety plan will be included in the county planning effort.

Data needs identification and procurement of needed data

Safety recommendations with supporting fact sheets, GIS database & mapping, draft & final reports

Consultant must ensure all work complies with federal laws, guidelines and milestones.

The final date for acceptance of the Final Plan is 6/15/2028.  Lincoln County encourages all proposals to strive for an earlier completion date while scheduling sufficient time for data collection, meetings, development of recommendations and review of draft plan.  The final plan must be based on evidence of what can drive down the serious injury and fatality rate along with a plan for future data collection to substantiate the change.  Given the extremely rural nature of Lincoln County and the preponderance of public lands, the consultant’s proposal should address injuries and deaths on public lands that may or may not be fully reflected in existing data for roadway fatalities.  Unfortunately, cost benefit analysis will be a major factor in the physical modifications that can be implemented.  Behavioral modifications may have a broader impact if consistently adopted by all communities and agencies.

Requirements for a Proposal:

General Information:  Firm name, address, primary contact(s) with phone numbers and e-mail, brief history of the firm to include year established and type of ownership.

Relevant Experience:  Include any prior SS4A planning or other transportation planning, particularly that with FHWA or WYDOT.

Key Personnel:  Identify both by name and position, include resume for all key personnel, describe the role of each in this project, identify any roles that will be sub-contracted and whether they have been selected or at what point in the project that they will be selected.  NOTE:  Elsewhere in this RFP requirements for procuring sub-consultants are listed.  Also, personnel may change during the project, if the change results in a change in cost it will have to be approved which is why the position and role filled must be identified.

Proof of Insurance:  Statement that the firm, if awarded, will provide proof of insurance as required by the county.

References:  At least 3 references with full contact information shall be provided.

A cover letter (one page only) is encouraged but not required.

Based on the supplemental information provided by contacting Mary Crosby at mary.crosby@lincolncountywy.gov and requesting the full SS4A packet, the Proposal will address:

Project Approach – the methodology that will be utilized to conduct a multi-modal safety analysis focused on reducing death and injury including necessary data, meetings, coordination and strategy development

Project Schedule – clearly delineating the above components on a timeline that shows overlap of activities as well as activities that must be completed prior to another component being undertaken

Demonstration of Abilities – Attachments should clearly demonstrate the firm’s ability to present data and findings to the county, municipalities, federal agencies and the general public

List of all Deliverables – this should tie to the Project Schedule and Project Approach

Project Costs – remember the available budget is $340,000.00.  This shall be broken down by task, tied to specific personnel positions with estimated labor hours and the billing rate for said position, identification of any reimbursable expenses, these must meet the requirements of the SS4A program, all expenses which will require written pre-approval by the federal government must be clearly identified.

Submittal deadline is April 2, 2026, by 5 p.m. 

RFPs shall be emailed to mary.crosby@lincolncountywy.gov   The subject line shall read:  RFP SS4A Action Plan for Lincoln County, Wyoming Roadway Safety.  Proposals shall be in a single PDF on standard paper sizes (letter, legal and tabloid).
