NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Modesto, County of Stanislaus, State of California (“City”), will receive proposals (each, a "Proposal") electronically through its OpenGov Procurement portal from qualified Proposers (each, a “Proposer”) for the furnishing of Downtown Modesto Multimodal Transportation Network and Land Use Compatibility Action Plan services (the “Services”) for the City of Modesto, Community and Economic Development Department, Planning Division.

The City of Modesto (City) will lead the preparation of the Downtown Modesto Multimodal Transportation Network and Land Use Compatibility Action Plan (Plan). The proposed Plan will build on the efforts of San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission’s Valley Rail Project to seamlessly integrate the future rail network and its operations with the new Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) commuter rail station beginning in 2026.

In collaboration with multiple partner agencies and stakeholders, including direct engagement with local underserved communities, the City (the lead agency for the Plan) will focus Plan development on expanding regional access, encouraging infill development, and encouraging residents to utilize multimodal travel options. These improvements will also support multimodal trips to many key destinations within the City and region. Plan development will be guided by the Caltrans Smart Mobility Framework, Complete Streets strategies, Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure (CAPTI), California State Rail Plan, and other design and policy principles.
