Request of Proposals: Fargo, ND Growth Plan
Date: 9/23/2022 - 11/4/2022
Location(s): North Dakota
Description:
The City of Fargo, North Dakota is seeking proposals from multi-disciplinary firms for professional consulting services to lead a planning process for the development of a Growth Plan. The City intends to partner with a qualified consultant to produce a citywide Growth Plan that will inform strategic decision making in relation to future growth, and which will lay the foundation for a comprehensive update to the City’s development regulations. The Plan will build upon, and integrate into, the City’s existing array of comprehensive plans, master plans and long range plans.
The City desires to create an achievable Growth Plan that integrates all aspects of growth management, that becomes a roadmap for development features including, but not limited to, land-use, urban form & design, annexation & municipal service extension, transportation, recreation & open space, housing & real estate, economic development, fiscal impacts, sustainability, capital planning & improvements, etc. While the City has previously engaged in various levels of planning and study on a number of these fronts, there is a need to analyze these independent efforts within the collective context of growth management, to identify and address any knowledge gaps or conflicting direction, and to establish a cohesive growth management strategy that guides the decision making process to provide clear direction that aligns with community values.
