OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Public Works is requesting to award a consultant agreement with DKS Associates in the amount of $152,207 for the development of a Citywide Safe Speed Study and Audit to evaluate speed management strategies on all arterials and connector streets. This study will identify opportunities for speed reductions, provide a decision-making framework for implementing speed limit changes, and recommend infrastructure improvements where appropriate.
This effort will review operating speed data collected as part of the ongoing traffic counts program led by Planning Department and will consider collecting additional speed data where appropriate. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was advertised in June 2025. DKS Associates was determined to be the most qualified firm based on their understanding of the project scope and experience developing and implementing speed studies.
