ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: November 18, 2008 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. ~{- - -F <br />SUBJECT: RFP Award: Graphic Design, Cartography and Production of a Map of Bicycle <br />Routes in Orange County <br />DEPARTMENT: Purchasing, Planning PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Pam Jones, 245-2652 <br />Karen Lincoln, 245-2594 <br />PURPOSE: To consider awarding RFP's for Graphic Design and cartography to develop a map of <br />designated bicycle routes in Orange County to R+M, Inc. of Cary, North Carolina (Graphic Design) <br />and Simpson Maps of Concord, North Carolina (Cartography). <br />BACKGROUND: The BOCC, in October 2007, endorsed a resolution authorizing the Manager to sign <br />an agreement with NCDOT for reimbursement of costs of developing an Orange County Bicycle Map <br />subject to final review and approval by the County Attorney and others to ensure that the County's <br />policies and procedures adhere to federal requirements of the agreement. The Orange County bicycle <br />route mapping and signing project has been programmed in the TIP since the 1997-2003 TIP, which <br />scheduled the project for FFY 1998. Staff shortages in the North Carolina Department of <br />Transportation (NCDOT) delayed progress of this effort for several years. <br />The purpose of the bicycle map and signing project is to develop auser-friendly map that highlights <br />the 150 to 200 mile system of designated bicycle routes in Orange County and the bicyclist-oriented <br />information that supports travel along these routes. This bicycle routing system is not the same as the <br />priority routes in the Orange County Bicycle Transportation Plan. An Orange County Bicycle Map <br />Committee made up of interested Orange County residents and planning staff from Orange County, <br />Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Mebane met with staff from the NCDOT Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian <br />Transportation in a series of meetings in 2002 to develop a system of proposed bicycle routes that <br />would not be too difficult or unsafe for the average bicyclist to serve Orange County communities and <br />provide connections to bicycle routes in adjacent counties. NCDOT staff studied proposed routes and <br />developed a preliminary map, which was reviewed by planning staff from Orange County, Chapel Hill, <br />Carrboro, Hillsborough, Mebane and the Chapel Hill Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. <br />Requests for Proposals (RFP) for the graphic design and production (RFP 5147) and the cartography <br />(RFP 5146) were developed by Staff and NCDOT DBPT. RFPs were sent to ten firms. Two firms <br />submitted proposals: <br />1. R+M, Inc. of Cary, North Carolina for graphic design (layout) and production (actual maps) <br />of the maps; <br />2. Simpson Maps of Concord, North Carolina for cartography (mapped representation of the <br />County and bicycle routes). <br />
