Design Engineering Services - College Avenue Streetscape

The City of Wheaton is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide professional planning and design services for a Conceptual Streetscape Study of College Avenue. The purpose of this study is to produce two to three design alternatives for City staff review and to support an informed decision by the City Council regarding whether and how to proceed with detailed engineering and construction. The scope of work includes providing professional planning and design services, but does not include engineering drawings, permitting, or construction management. • The study will focus on a single block of mixed-use and retail frontage adjacent to the College Avenue Metra station. • The goal is to improve pedestrian comfort, reconfigure on-street parking, and enhance the block’s character. • The City is looking for a firm that can provide high-quality design services and work collaboratively with City staff. • The proposal should include a detailed scope of work, a timeline, and a budget. • The City will evaluate proposals based on factors such as the firm's experience, qualifications, and approach to the project.
