Unified Development Code Consultant Services

The City of Richardson, Texas seeks a qualified professional service firm to assist in preparing a new Unified Development Code (UDC). The requested scope includes consolidating, modernizing, and coordinating zoning, subdivision, and development regulations into a clear document that implements the comprehensive plan. The selected vendor must establish regulations for infill development, adaptive reuse, and neighborhood protection, while delivering public engagement, policy direction, GIS data, transition tables, draft text in Microsoft Word, high-quality graphics, and post-adoption support. Only onshore, USA organizations are eligible to bid, and consultants should have recent, relevant experience preparing UDCs for similar cities. Bidders must submit sealed Statements of Qualifications electronically through Bonfire by November 3, 2026, at 2:00 PM; late, mailed, or faxed submittals will not be accepted. Bidders must submit all written questions through Bonfire by October 15, 2026, at 4:00 PM. A staff-led Evaluation Committee will review responsive submittals using a qualifications-based selection process to select the best-evaluated submission. Bidders must not submit proposals or fees at this time, as the buyer is looking for proposals under a qualifications review without a stated budget or contract term.
