Request for Proposals - Consultant Services 

Urban Design, Economic Development and Land Use Plan
Downtown Association of Fairbanks, Alaska 
Submittal Deadline:  October 3, 2006

RFP Number: 06-0823

BRIEF PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In a joint private-public partnership with the Fairbanks North Star
Borough Planning Department, the Downtown Association of Fairbanks is
seeking proposals from qualified consultant teams to develop a
Comprehensive Urban Design/Economic Development Plan and Land Use
Regulations Revision for downtown Fairbanks, Alaska that will
incorporate smart growth principles and winter city (sub-arctic) design
concepts.  

BACKGROUND
Fairbanks, the second largest city in Alaska with a population of
31,324, is located in Interior Alaska 125 miles south of the Arctic
Circle. The city is located within the Fairbanks North Star Borough.  In
2005, its borough population was estimated to be 87,650 with population
within the actual downtown plan area estimated to be 5,231. The city
serves as the hub for the Interior of Alaska.  

Today downtown Fairbanks is at a critical juncture.  A new generation of
public improvements is planned and yet the core downtown area faces
urban sprawl as new retail facilities are developed in the areas outside
of the immediate downtown area.  The creation of a viable and vibrant
sub-arctic city downtown core, with mixed-use residential and commercial
development, is central to achieving a new community vision.

Proposals Due  4:00 p.m. (Alaska Standard Time) on October 3, 2006
