Request for Proposals - Consultant Services

Planning, Design and Economic Development Services
The City of Mobile, Alabama
Submittal Deadline: May 24, 2007

Objective
The City of Mobile, Alabama seeks the services of a qualified
planning-research-design consultant team with considerable experience in
citizen involvement/participation, visioning, planning, community
design, market analysis, and sustainability, to develop a new plan for
the Downtown and its adjoining neighborhoods. The selected firm will be
responsible for providing specific professional services to support the
formulation of the proposed New Plan for Old Mobile Plan (hereinafter
referred to as The Plan). This plan is expected to be an extensive and
forthright assessment of the potential and liabilities of development
for the next 15 to 20 years. This plan will include a written
implementation strategy, a phasing plan with associated costs, graphic
illustrations, and a matrix outlining the plan implementation
components. The City, private sector interests and others will utilize
this plan in marketing properties and attracting investment in the core
Downtown area and adjacent neighborhoods.

Project Purpose
The purpose of The Plan is to provide a comprehensive and detailed
growth analysis that establishes a sustainable long-range plan for
development, in order to make Mobile the premier city along the Central
Gulf Coast to live, work and play. Although there are numerous
development proposals, plans and studies which currently exist or are
underway within the Downtown area, what the City of Mobile lacks is an
up to date, publicly responsive comprehensive development plan that
addresses growth for this defined area from a broad planning
perspective.

Submittal Deadline
Proposals are due by May 24, 2007.
