1.0 Introduction and Overview
The City of Moorpark is requesting proposals from qualified firms to provide professional
engineering design services and the preparation of plans and specifications for the High
Street Improvement Project – Phase 2. The City recently completed streetscape
improvements primarily along the south side of High Street, between Walnut Street and
Magnolia Street, with the goal to create and foster a vibrant, safe, and pedestrian-friendly
“downtown district” atmosphere within, and along, the public right-of-way. Phase 2 for
High Street is to continue and extend the recent streetscape improvements to the north
side of High Street, from Moorpark Avenue to Spring Road, and on the south side from
the North Metrolink Station to Spring Road. The project will consist of community
engagement and preparation of final plans and specifications for the design and
construction of streetscape improvements that will include landscape enhancements,
decorative flatwork, improved pedestrian facilities, bike lanes and bike facilities, street
furnishings and public amenities, pavement rehabilitation, and street signage.
The Moorpark City Council has identified Strategic Economic Development as a primary
goal with a stated objective to “attract and support business leaders dedicated to
developing a local economy that has unique business centers and is a desirable
destination for a wide spectrum of shopping, entertainment, tourism, and employment
needs for its current and future residents, with a continued emphasis on High Street.”
Phase 2 of the High Street Improvement Project will be a key deliverable toward achieving
this goal.
In addition to creating a downtown district, the design of the streetscape improvements
along High Street will incorporate the following features and elements:
Improve connectivity and mobility for all modes of transportation and users
including pedestrian facilities, bicycles, and public transit.
Incorporate traffic calming features along High Street and pedestrian
crossings with bulb-outs.
A bollard system, or barriers, that can be used to close and secure High
Street from vehicular traffic for street fairs and public events.
Coordinate with the City’s Economic Development team for
installation/placement of wayfinding signage and establish High Street’s
“sense of place and area.”
Extend the existing streetscape improvements and aesthetics to complete
High Street.
Proposers must have sufficient expertise and experience to complete the work described
in the Scope of Services, Section 3.0, which includes the following elements:
