Land Use Study Service

The Southern Ute Indian Tribe or local government authority in Ignacio, Colorado, is seeking a qualified consultant to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study across all agency-owned land-banked properties. The agency needs to solve the problem of underutilized land by obtaining actionable recommendations for development scenarios, including one hundred percent affordable housing, mixed-income residential, mixed-use developments, or other configurations that serve community needs. To achieve this, the selected contractor must assess market conditions, site constraints, infrastructure capacity, zoning alignment, and community vision to inform a land use recommendation for the anchor parcel. The agency limits eligibility to onshore organizations based in the United States. The selected contractor must perform all work onsite in Ignacio, Colorado. Bidders may submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the project budget and has not disclosed a specific funding limit. Bidders must submit all clarifying questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 8, 2026.
