Community Planning Consultant Service

The Hanover, VA government authority requires a community planning consultant service to develop design guidelines and planning recommendations, such as revising an existing overlay district or creating a new one. The selected vendor will evaluate zoning requests and help create land use regulations that align with the community's vision. Required tasks include using GIS data and site visits to collect existing condition data on land uses, infrastructure, environmental, and historic resources, alongside reviewing economic development studies. The scope further requires analyzing the existing housing stock's condition, tenure, and future needs, as well as identifying creative redevelopment programs, policies, and incentives for older, auto-oriented corridor sites. To qualify, bidders must be an onshore USA organization. The buyer will accept digital submissions via email or online for offsite work performance, and the budget calls for proposals. Key schedule details include an optional pre-bid meeting scheduled for August 25, 2026. The provided text omits specific evaluation criteria details.
