Project Background:
The FY09 Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (CCMPO) sidewalk
program is designed to improve and expand the region’s sidewalk infrastructure through
reimbursable grants to member municipalities for preliminary engineering and sidewalk
construction.
Program Purpose:
The purposes/goals of the CCMPO sidewalk program are: 1) to provide communities access to
federal implementation funds to improve their public sidewalk systems, 2) to advance the
development of an integrated sidewalk system using accepted standards and guidelines, and 3) to
encourage connections between neighborhoods, schools, parks, town centers and linkages to
other public spaces for the benefit of the non-motorized traveler. While this regional program
will assist municipalities with sidewalk construction, other sources through VTrans – the
Enhancements and Safe Routes to School (SR2S) Programs – may also be utilized for the
planning, design and construction of sidewalks. The CCMPO program is intended to provide a
supplement to these programs.
Due Date:
Proposals are due by Friday, June 6, 2008. For the complete proposal & requirements, please download the full RFP document linked here.
Questions regarding this RFP should be directed to Peter Keating,
CCMPO at 802.660.4071 x14.
