A government authority in Los Angeles, California is seeking a vendor to provide multimodal planning consulting services. The scope includes conducting a variety of goods movement and logistics studies, such as capacity estimation and simulation for berths, rail yards, terminals, and container yards, as well as supply chain analysis covering logistics facility capacity and import/export flows.

Consultants will perform transportation studies and analyses including roadway capacity, level of service, vehicle miles traveled (VMT), passenger–car equivalents, safety and accident analysis, rail crossing assessments, traffic counts, origin-destination surveys, and traffic control warrants. Travel demand modeling will involve port-specific trip generation, distribution datasets, and model calibration.

Rail system modeling will be used to evaluate performance and improvement strategies. The consultant may also prepare conceptual geometric designs for roadways and rail infrastructure. Transportation technology support is required for on-call Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), covering research, evaluation, planning, preliminary design, systems engineering, and implementation, including software development for IoT devices, integration of field devices, and communications networks.
