Urban Design Master Planning Services

The government authority in Georgia is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive urban design master planning services for a local neighborhood. The agency is trying to solve challenges related to internal reconnection, resident access to public spaces, commercial development, and gentrification. This initiative requires a full urban design plan that prioritizes anti-displacement strategies alongside neighborhood improvements. The scope of work covers conducting interviews with constituent non-profit organizations, anchor institutions, neighborhood associations, and local businesses to build design consensus. The selected vendor must lead public design charrettes and incorporate the resulting feedback into a draft Master Plan. Additionally, the project requires a specific implementation strategy, a creative financing strategy, and parking and traffic solutions. The agency also requests the redesign of streets and sidewalks, which must include full engineering of the proposed improvements. The final plan must propose site-specific retail, commercial, and residential recruitment recommendations, appropriate incentives, and suggested zoning regulations. These proposals must feature anti-displacement policies to ensure neighborhood improvements benefit current residents. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency allows the performance of the work to take place offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget. The contract period will span one year. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 5, 2026.
