Tenders Are Invited For Government Services – Carrying Out Foot Traffic Checks 2027-2028

Government Services – Carrying Out Foot Traffic Checks 2027-2028. It Is Important To The Rhineland-Palatinate State Government To Sustainably Increase The Quality Of Life In City Centers And Town Centers. At The Same Time, It Is Important To Find Answers To The Climatic Changes That Are Now Clearly Noticeable. In This Context, Foot Traffic Plays A Significant Role. Cities That Can Be Experienced On Foot Are More Attractive And Offer A Higher Quality Of Life. Retail And Restaurants Benefit From This: Those Who Travel On Foot Stay Longer And Perceive Offers In A Completely Different Way Than Other Road Users. Walking Also Has Positive Consequences For Health And The Climate. Against This Background, The Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry Of Economic Affairs, Tourism, Energy And Climate Would Like To Offer Ten Municipalities In The State Selected In A Competition To Carry Out Professionally Prepared And Accompanied Foot Traffic Checks In 2027 And 2028. An External Service Provider Is Being Sought To Carry Out This Project Comprehensively. A Foot Traffic Check Is Understood Here As A Dialogue-Oriented, Participatory Event Format In Which The Citizens Of A City, The Administration And Politicians Discuss The Situation Of Foot Traffic In The Community Together In Several Meetings. The Focus Of The Pedestrian Traffic Check Is On Two Guided Inspections Per Municipality, During Which The Strengths And Weaknesses In The Footpath Network Are Recorded And Analyzed. Based On The Findings, An Action Plan To Remedy The Deficiencies Is Ultimately Developed. The Pedestrian Traffic Checks Can Have A Specific Theme (E.G. Quality Of Life, Crossings). The Implementation Of The Foot Traffic Checks As A Nationwide Measure Aims To Raise Awareness Of Foot Traffic And Its Specific Requirements In Rhineland-Palatinate And Especially In The Participating Municipalities Among The Administration, Politicians And Citizens. The Promotion Of Foot Traffic In Municipalities Should Be Sustainably Strengthened By Developing Concrete Content And Results On Local Foot Traffic (E.G. Status Quo In Foot Traffic, Strengths And Weaknesses Analysis, Action Plan With Priority And Cost Notes). In Addition, The Institutionalization Of The Promotion Of Walking In The Municipalities Should Be Supported. The Nationwide Campaign Is Intended To Arouse Interest In Further Measures To Promote Pedestrian Traffic And Stimulate The Inter-Municipal Exchange Of Experiences On The Topic. For The Implementation Of The Measure At The Municipal Level, The Client (Ag) Provides A Standardized Project Design That Is Identical And Binding For All Participating Municipalities In Terms Of Structure, Time And Cost Framework. This Basic Framework Can Be Filled With Different Contents By The Municipalities In Coordination With The Contractor (Contractor) According To Local Requirements. It Is Important That The Focus Is On Promoting Foot Traffic And Not On The Ags Specifications
