Overview

Summary

The City of Santa Cruz owns and maintains a network of 10 bicycle and pedestrian bridges of varying age, design, and construction type. These structures are critical to public safety and mobility. The city seeks professional engineering services to assess structural conditions, identify deficiencies, and recommend maintenance or rehabilitation actions. The selected Consultant shall perform various tasks and prepare deliverables such as inspection reports, photo documentation, and other deliverables as deemed necessary by the city. The city is soliciting proposals from qualified engineering firms to provide this service within its jurisdiction on a two-year rotation, with half the bridges inspected annually. There are currently 10 bicycle-pedestrian bridges in the city (See Attachment 1). The selected consultant shall perform inspections in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local standards. The contract will run for two years with a two-year renewal option.

The anticipated schedule for the RFP review and award process is from May 19, 2026, to contract award in July 2026.

Background

The City of Santa Cruz was incorporated in 1866 and formed its current charter in 1948. It is governed under a Council/Manager form of government. A Mayor and six Council members set policy for the City and a City Manager serves as chief administrator of those policies. The City is located on the coast, 75 miles south of San Francisco on the northern edge of the Monterey Bay. It encompasses 15.8 square miles with cultural and ethnic diversity among its population of 65,000. Santa Cruz is part of the National Marine Sanctuary and is a popular tourist destination owing to its beaches, surf culture, and historical landmarks.

The City provides a full range of municipal services and facilities including a recreational wharf, public golf course, over thirteen hundred acres of open space, full beach services, refuse management, law enforcement, fire protection, and water and wastewater utilities. The City is also host to University of California Santa Cruz, the Santa Cruz Harbor, and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk amusement park.
