> ABOUT SCAG
> Over the past four decades, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has evolved as the largest of nearly 700 councils of government in the United States, functioning as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for six counties: Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura and Imperial.
> As the designated MPO, SCAG is mandated by the federal government to research and put together plans for transportation, growth management, hazardous waste management, and air quality.
> SCAG relies heavily on outside consultants and vendors to help accomplish the overall mission and objectives of SCAG. We are always striving to increase the breadth and depth of talent in our pool of potential consultants and vendors, and are especially interested in bringing more certified DBEs into the database.
> BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
> Building on the 2004-05 and 2005-06 Overall Work Program (OWP) research work studying four mixed use centers and two corridors, SCAG is seeking a qualified consultant or consulting firm to collect comparable data on two additional corridors in the South Bay region. In addition to this work, the main focus of the 2006-07 program will be to develop meaning from the data collected in order to produce the findings and lessons that can be used to guide policy for implementing the 2% Strategy.
