E. 93rd Street Opportunity to Thrive Project (Miles Ave to Quincy Ave)

City of Cleveland - Mayor's Office of Capital Projects has issued request for proposal.

This Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks professional services to prepare construction contract plans and specifications for the Mayor’s Office of Capital Projects, Division of Engineering and Construction. This project covers approximately 3.5 miles of E. 93 rd Street and Woodhill Road, from Miles Avenue to Quincy Avenue connecting to E. 105th Street. Please note that pavement rehabilitation at several intersections will be excluded from this scope. E. 93 rd Street/Woodhill Road is classified as a minor arterial. As the northern portion of the corridor (Kinsman to Quincy/E. 105th) is a CMAQ Implementation project, the City will administer the design, while ODOT D12 will lead construction administration. There will be no pre-proposal meeting. Written questions will be received until September 29, 2026 at 4:00 pm, an addendum with all questions and answers will be posted by the close of business on October 6, 2026. The proposal will be due on October 16, 2026 by noon. Questions shall be submitted online through the questions tab included in this proposal request. Where the following terms such as “Consultant to determine”, “YES”, “x”, “By Consultant” and similar notations are used in this RFP, the Consultant shall design and prepare the necessary drawings and details for that item of work. Design work may not be passed on to the construction contractor via plan note. In addition, where there are items that require the action of work (for whom it may not be clear), the Consultant is the party that shall accomplish it. The City reserves the right to reject any and all proposals or portions of them, to waive irregularities, informalities, and technicalities, to issue or proceed to obtain the service(s) desired otherwise, at any time or in any manner considered in the City’s best interests. The Director may, at his/her sole discretion, modify or amend any provision of this notice or the RFP.

Over the past 10 years the City in partnership with GCRTA, NOACA, ODOT, and community partners have been exploring and evaluating improvements to E. 105th and E. 93rd through an effort called Thrive 105-93. Reports prepared for the corridor include a Transportation for Livable Communities Initiative Conceptual Plan and also an Alternatives Evaluation Report (AER). Several projects constructed improvements on E. 105th from Quincy Ave. to St. Clair Ave in addition to the Opportunity Corridor project that connects directly into E. 105th at the southern end of the Thrive 105-93 study area. To advance the Thrive 105-93 planning initiative, the City is focused on constructing roadway improvements on E. 93rd Street and Woodhill Road from Miles Ave to Quincy Ave connecting to E. 105th Street. The character and condition of the corridor does vary along the extent, therefore the City is considering delivering the improvements as two or more rehabilitation projects. For simplicity, the corridor can be thought of as the northern section from Kinsman to Quincy and the southern section from Miles to Kinsman. Several recently constructed intersections will be excluded from the project along with portions of the corridor where quick-build safety improvements are installed. The project will extend the multimodal network created by Opportunity Corridor and E. 105th rehabilitation projects into the residential neighborhood with the goal to create a complete street corridor from Kinsman to Quincy through a lane reduction to accommodate bicycle facilities and reduce crossing distances for pedestrians. Along the entire extent, the project will consider signal improvements for transit priority and will evaluate enhancements to transit stops and stations based on input from Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA). Transit service along the corridor includes bus routes #8 and #10 and commuter rail stations at the East 105th-Quincy (Red Line) and Buckeye-Woodhill Stations (Green/Blue lines). Additionally, the project will evaluate needs for traffic calming and pedestrian improvements to address safety concerns expressed by stakeholders and community leaders.
