Description
The Houston‑Galveston Area Council (H‑GAC) seeks a qualified contractor to develop Grade Separation Feasibility Plans for freight rail crossings throughout the region. The work focuses on improving safety, reducing vehicle delays, and providing innovative, data‑driven solutions for at‑grade rail crossing mitigation. The contractor will conduct planning studies, traffic safety analyses, and produce detailed feasibility reports that can serve as the foundation for future grade‑separation projects.
• Conduct comprehensive traffic and safety studies at identified freight rail at‑grade crossings.
• Develop feasibility plans, cost‑benefit analyses, and design alternatives for grade separation.
• Deliver final reports with recommendations, implementation phasing, and potential funding strategies.
• Coordinate with H‑GAC, local jurisdictions, and rail operators as required.
• Provide innovative approaches (e.g., technology‑enabled safety measures) alongside traditional engineering solutions.
