Professional Planning, Community Engagement, Economic Development, Implementation Strategy, Marketing and Design Consulting Services

The buyer requires a USA-based vendor to provide professional planning, community engagement, economic development, implementation strategy, marketing, and design consulting services. The selected vendor must update the 2016 Africatown neighborhood plan into an implementation-oriented master plan. Scope requirements include conducting a collaborative, culturally responsive planning process, executing an inclusive community engagement strategy, and assessing existing infrastructure, facilities, open spaces, and public realm conditions. The vendor must collect perception data through surveys, interviews, and public meetings, while identifying development barriers and recommending strategies to mitigate them. The final deliverable is an implementation-ready master plan that guides capital projects, investments, and funding requests. Work will occur offsite, and the buyer requests budget proposals. Vendors must submit questions by October 14, 2026, and attend a pre-bid meeting on October 21, 2026. The buyer accepts digital submissions through email or online.
