The consultant or consultant team should propose a robust community outreach strategy <br />based on successful outcomes and experience with similar projects in other communities. Under this <br />task, Community Outreach and Engagement Plan should be developed and finalized in consensus with <br />City of Pleasanton staff. The strategy may include, but not limited to: <br />• Engaging both those who already bike in the City and those who deterred from biking to assess <br />needs for all users. <br />• Community forums or focus groups to gain input from community members, including facilitation <br />of these gatherings. <br />• Social media, surveys, or web-based platforms for obtaining input from a broader spectrum of the <br />community and to engage participants in dynamic outreach opportunities. <br />• Engaging with the City’s Safe Routes to School program and stakeholders from school districts to <br />address needs for younger riders and safe school commutes. <br />• Recommending unique outreach strategies including bicycle audits, community bike rides to <br />identify gaps in the network and safety issues, or pop-up/temporary bicycle facilities to engage the <br />community in new and innovative options. <br />• Using the City’s BPTC as a forum for study sessions and solicitation of community input. <br />• Formal hearings with the BPTC and City Council. <br />The total number of meetings and full outreach strategy recommended by the proposer should be <br />clearly described in the recommended approach to the project, and fully scoped in the schedule and <br />cost proposal. <br />Task 5: Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis <br />This consultant shall identify the current and future needs for bicyclists and pedestrians and analyze <br />trends in population growth, land use changes, and transportation demands. This assessment should <br />include the updated housing element sites. <br />Task 6: Plan Update <br />• Revise the vision, goals, and objectives to reflect current community needs and policy changes. <br />• Update recommendations for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, including new routes, <br />facilities, and safety improvements. <br />• Integrate best practices in urban design, traffic calming measures, and sustainability. This will <br />include new design standards for bicycle and pedestrian facilities based on location and <br />roadway type. <br />• Provide recommendations for encouraging bicycle and pedestrian usage through education, <br />outreach, and enforcement strategies. <br />• Address accessibility for individuals with disabilities in compliance with the Americans with <br />Disabilities Act (ADA).
