Notes	Solicitation Number: NC-21-25 Title: Request For Proposals for Comprehensive Safety Action Plan – City of North Charleston Issue Date: Wednesday, August 20, 2025 Proposal Due Date: Thursday, September 25, 2025, by 2:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time Questions and Answers End Date: Friday, September 12 , 2025, by 4:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time The City of North Charleston is seeking proposals from qualified consulting firms to develop a comprehensive Safety Action Plan and corresponding implementation grant application. The Plan will analyze traffic safety risks, prioritize cost-effective safety countermeasures, and position the high-priority projects for implementation funding. The implementation grant application will combine one or more high-priority projects to request funding from FHWA’s Safe Streets & Roads for All (SS4A) program or another similar federal funding program. The Action Plan must meet the FHWA’s “Components of an Action Plan”, as identified on their website . The selected consultant will ensure the Plan aligns with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Roadway Safety Strategy and the federal goal of zero roadway deaths using a Safe Systems Approach . BACKGROUND: North Charleston is the deadliest city to travel in South Carolina. Between 2018 and 2022, there were a total of 114 traffic fatalities in the City of North Charleston, ranking first among all South Carolina cities. This corresponds to a fatality rate of 19.70 per 100,000 people over that period. These safety outcomes are compounded by equity issues. According to USDOT’s Equitable Transportation Community (ETC) Explorer, 84,600 (61%) North Charleston residents are considered disadvantaged. This includes 16% of North Charleston residents who meet USDOT’s definition for limited transportation access and 56% who meet USDOT’s definition for transportation cost burdened. To help address these safety issues, SCDOT and the City of North Charleston have recently completed, in-progress, or will soon start road safety audits for the following areas: A shley Phosphate Road Dorchester Road Remount Road Tanger Outlet Mall University Boulevard In addition, the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments (BCDCOG) is currently developing a regional safety action plan, Charleston County is integrating its Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system with neighboring counties via SS4A funding, and the neighboring jurisdictions of Charleston and Summerville are working on municipal safety action plans.
