Mission Mile Sepulveda: Visioning for a Safe and Active Community

The Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA) is seeking the services of a consultant to assist StreetsLA to complete the plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) phase for this project and provide design support during construction. The scope of the project and the services sought from the selected consultant are as follows but not limited to:

•        Project Management Services
•        Thoroughly review 30% preliminary design package
•        Plans, Specifications & Estimates (PS&E) package
•        Coordination and Permit Assisting Services
•        Construction Pre-bid and Bid support
•        Design support during construction, as-built preparation, and project close-out services

StreetsLA plans to reconfigure Sepulveda Boulevard by reducing the number of travel lanes from six (6) to four (4), implementing a continuous pedestrian path and Class I bike path in the proposed raised median island from Devonshire Street to Rayen Street, implementing a Class IV cycle track from Rinaldi Street to Brand Boulevard, installing new curb extensions, marking crosswalks and bus bulb outs, and closing the existing slip lane on Brand Boulevard from Sepulveda Boulevard.

The project goal is to deliver a safer environment for pedestrians and bicyclists, connect to future Metro transit corridors, connect to key land uses (i.e. retail, employment centers, schools), elevate historic landmarks, and spur economic growth. The 28 schools located within one mile of the project, and the disadvantaged communities in the southern segment of Sepulveda Boulevard, will greatly benefit from the safe routes and improved connections to community-serving uses that the project will provide.
