Section I: Scope of Work
St. Charles County is seeking assistance of a consultant for design preparation, project
management, right-of-way procurement, and utility relocation for the St. Charles County Strategic
Highway Safety Project. The County Highway department maintains over 1,400 roadway lane
miles which unfortunately includes several high crash corridors. The County Transportation
Planning department has selected 11 segments that total around 16 miles of roadways to
implement strategic and systemic safety counter-measures in order to create a safer roadway
system. These 11 segments are identified in the County's Strategic Highway Safety Plan as
safety corridors or high-injury network segments. The 11 segments are located in rural and urban
areas which span across the County. Based on the existing crash characteristics and roadway
configurations, several safety countermeasures have been identified to be implemented on the
segments but will need to be further evaluated based on site visits and conditions.
Project Location
The project outlined herein is within St. Charles County in the State of Missouri. The project
improvements are on County maintained roadways. See Exhibit A for project location. A
conceptual layout is available upon request.
