District Opportunities & Updates

Request for Proposals for Renaissance Roadway & Pedestrian Improvements!

In 2024, King of Prussia District released the Renaissance Park Connectivity Master Plan.  This report outlines pedestrian, bicycle, and roadway links between commercial properties and residential neighborhoods.  New bike lanes, sidewalks, sharrows, roundabout and multimodal trails make up the bulk of transportation improvements with additional amenities including public spaces for parklets, special events and outdoor art.

The next step to bring these improvements to fruition is the Renaissance ParkRoadway, Trail Design & Traffic Study, which will analyze traffic counts and provide final designs for Renaissance Boulevard, Horizon Drive and define opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle improvements connecting this mixed use district with adjacent neighborhoods.  Deliverables by the chosen design team will include a traffic study, design documentation and bid package in accordance with state and local regulations.

Attention Engineering and Landscape Architecture Firms.  King of Prussia District is accepting competitive price proposals from responsible design teams consisting of Civil Engineers and Landscape Architects licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to produce the final design for roadway and trail improvements in Renaissance Park as outlined in the 2024 Renaissance Park Connectivity Study.

The fair evaluation of all candidates is based on price of itemized services, qualifications of service providers and quality references from previous work. It is anticipated the successful design team will provide a competitive bid with at least three references from previous clients servicing projects of a similar size and scope of work. The successful bidder will be identified by a combination of price for a selection of itemized services along with quality responses about the company and customer references. Additional itemized services might be added to the final contract but will not be evaluated as part of the base quote.

Proposals received after 11:00 AM EST, March 12, 2025, will not be considered and will be returned unopened. The proposal must contain the signature of a duly authorized officer or agent of the company submitting the proposal and must be able to conduct business in Upper Merion Township.  Please submit any questions about this RFP by e-mail to Chris Basler at chris@kopbid.com by end of day on Thursday, February 27 and a written response to all questions will be distributed to any firm representative who e-mails their intent to submit a proposal by Tuesday, March 4.  Chris will also be available for pre-scheduled video conference calls on Tuesday, March 4.  Please e-mail by Thursday, February 27 to schedule a call.
