Comprehensive Plan Consulting Services

The City of Alton, Texas, is seeking comprehensive plan consulting services to guide its future growth and development. The agency requires a qualified vendor to establish a structured project management framework, which must include a detailed work plan, schedule, deliverables matrix, meeting calendar, quality control process, and regular progress reporting. To establish a baseline for the plan, the selected contractor will collect and evaluate existing conditions data, including demographics, land use, zoning, development, mobility, infrastructure, housing, environmental factors, economic data, community facilities, and capital improvements. The agency needs an inclusive public engagement and community visioning program to gather input from residents and stakeholders. This outreach effort must incorporate stakeholder interviews, public meetings, workshops, surveys, pop-up events, bilingual outreach, online engagement tools, youth or school outreach, and presentations to appointed and elected bodies. Based on this input and data, the contractor will prepare a future land use map and policy framework. This framework must support orderly growth, compatible development, redevelopment opportunities, neighborhood preservation, and coordination with zoning, subdivision, and capital improvement decisions. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency will allow the selected contractor to perform the required work offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine the cost of the project. Key dates and specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the initial solicitation materials.
