RFQ # 1819-02

The City of Longview is requesting sealed Statement of Qualifications from qualified firms for the Longview MPO’s Travel Demand Model review, Thoroughfare Plan update, and development of a Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) 2045 project prioritization.

The Travel Demand Model (TDM) has a 2013 base year and a 2045 forecast year. The MTP is updated every five years and serves as the Longview Area’s strategy to respond to the transportation needs of the community for the next twenty-five years. Major streets and highway projects in the 2045 MTP will be based on the MPO’s TDM. As part of the Longview MPO’s MTP update, the Thoroughfare Plan is updated and serves as a long-range plan that identifies the location and type of roadway facilities that are needed to meet the projected long-term growth in the region.

The Longview Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), acting through the City of Longview Development Services Department and coordinating with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), is responsible for coordinated, comprehensive and continuing transportation planning in the Longview MPO area as required by the federal legislation, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. The City of Longview is the fiscal agent for the Longview MPO.
