Request for Proposals (RFP) for Albany Highway Walking & Cycling Improvements Ssbc & Preliminary Design Open Date: Monday, 8 April 2024 7:00 PM (Pacific/Auckland UTC+12:00) Close Date: Friday, 3 May 2024 11:00 AM (Pacific/Auckland UTC+12:00) Tender Type: Request for Proposals (RFP) Tender Coverage: Sole Agency Regions: Auckland Required Pre-qualifications: None Overview: This procurement aims to secure the professional services required to deliver the Single Stage Business Case (SSBC) for the proposed Albany Highway Walking and Cycling Improvements project. The project will determine the most appropriate option to deliver the new walking and cycling infrastructure along Albany Highway, between Glenfield Road and Bush Road, Albany. This section of Albany Highway has no dedicated walking and cycling facilities. For the route, cycling accounts for less than 1% of mode share, but cycle related crashes account for 5.4% of reported crashes. By providing safe cycle and walking facilities, this critical gap in the cycle and micromobility strategic network will be eliminated. The Auckland cycle model predicts a significant increase in daily cycle trips along Albany Highway, from 170 to 560, with the provision of safe cycle facilities. The benefits of the project extend to residential areas by providing new and direct connections between Albany and Glenfield town centres, and opening up convenient access to schools.
