Consultant Services for Determination Remedies Non-Conforming Uses

The City of Dallas, Texas, is seeking a consultant to provide technical and financial support for determining the costs associated with ceasing nonconforming land uses at two specific sites. The agency needs to evaluate demolition, relocation, and financial obligation claims to ensure accurate, consistent, and compliant implementation of the Development Code. This initiative aims to solve the challenge of accurately quantifying the financial impacts of terminating these nonconforming uses while ensuring compliance with municipal regulations. The scope of work requires preparing itemized cost analyses for the cessation of nonconforming uses, including demolition, site restoration, relocation, and lease termination. The selected consultant must validate all financial claims and supporting evidence against municipal code requirements, strictly excluding all indirect costs such as lost profits, goodwill, or speculation. Additionally, the project covers delivering comprehensive written reports with a clear audit trail, quantifying the diminution of market value comparing pre-notice and post-compliance valuations, and assessing potential revenue impacts to the agency regarding sales tax, property tax, and employment metrics. The agency requires the documentation of all methodologies and assumptions for administrative and legal scrutiny, alongside a legal defensibility assessment identifying litigation and takings risks. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is looking for proposals to establish the budget for this undertaking. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 16, 2026. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 9, 2026. Proposals must be submitted digitally via email or through the designated online portal.
