PURPOSE
The City of St. Louis, Board of Public Service (“BPS”), is seeking Statements of Qualifications

infrastructure improvements. The proposed improvements are primarily intended to improve
traffic flow, and therefore reduce travel time, fuel consumption, and vehicular emission output,
along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Proposed improvements will include signal upgrades and/or enhancements, fiber optic
interconnect, traffic monitoring cameras, signal timing and optimization, system integration
with the City’s Real-Time Transportation Intelligence Center (TIC), and sidewalk
improvements as needed for ADA compliance. The project will be generally located along the
Dr. MLK Drive corridor, from Hodiamont Avenue to Grand Boulevard, a distance of
approximately 3.75 miles. Additional improvements outside of the Dr. MLK Drive corridor
may be necessary to provide connectivity to the TIC and redundancy to the City’s fiber optic
network.
II. PROJECT FUNDING AND BUDGET
The total estimated cost of improvements is $2,984,000.00, the price of which includes
design, right-of-way acquisition, construction, construction management, and testing. The
funding for this project is provided through local funds and the Congestion Mitigation & Air
Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ).
III. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The City will require professional engineering services for both preliminary engineering and
construction engineering; including, but not limited to, surveying and data collection; the
