St. Clair County seeks engineering team for Safe Streets for All project; federal grant requires later project development

St. Clair County Commission · July 9, 2026

Summary

Staff updated commissioners on an FHWA SS4A grant (90/10) to develop a comprehensive safety plan and demonstration projects; award paperwork has been returned signed and an RFQ for engineering services will be recommended for award prior to the commission vote next week.

County staff told the commission that a grant agreement from the Federal Highway Administration for the SS4A (Safe Streets for All) program has been returned signed and needs local signature before work can proceed; the grant will reimburse most project costs (90/10 split). The county attorney and engineering staff confirmed that the grant currently funds development of project locations and temporary demonstration projects rather than naming specific projects today.

To implement the SS4A grant, staff recommended awarding RFQ 26-2026-40 for engineering services and said a recommendation will be presented before the commission acts at the Tuesday meeting. Commissioners discussed scope, reimbursement timelines and the need to ensure the selected firm can deliver design and demonstration support needed for the grant's reporting requirements.
