Request for Proposals - Consultant Services

Planning Consulting Services
Collier and Neville Townships, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania 
Submittal Deadline: August 15, 2007

During the fall of 2005, the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County
(RAAC) was made aware that the Charles E. Kelly Support Facility had
been declared surplus and was to be disposed of in accordance with
appropriate federal regulations.

As a result, on April 11, 2006, RAAC submitted a written request to
Patrick O'Brien of the Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) to become the
official lead agency in the Kelly Center Local Redevelopment Authority
(KCLRA).  On April 26th, 2006, the RAAC board approved a resolution
authorizing the authority to "...(a) participate as a lead negotiating
entity concerning the future use and development of the Kelly Center,
and (b) to the end, create and participate in a committee of
representatives from all affected communities in and around the Kelly
Center as to such future use and development."

What becomes of the Kelly Center parcels? The KCLRA is seeking
assistance from a planning consultant to help facilitate the reuse plan
through public input as well as professional planning guidelines.
Public meetings will be held so residents of the affected communities
may suggest their input on any redevelopment plans.  The entire
redevelopment planning process will be completed by June of 2008.

This is a solicitation for Request for Proposals (RFP) aimed at
identifying one or more qualified consultants, who demonstrate the
capability and proven experience to provide professional planning
services, to submit a complete project proposal for consideration.

If your firm is interested in this project, please e-mail the KCLRA
Coordinator at john.earley at county.allegheny.pa.us
<mailto:john.earley at county.allegheny.pa.us> .  An optional informational
meeting will be held on July 12, 2007 at 2pm at the Charles E. Kelly
Support Facility Community Center at 6 Lobaugh Street, Oakdale, PA
15071.

Deadline for submission is August 15, 2007 at 12:00 p.m.


Questions should be addressed via e-mail or hard copy to:

J. Patrick Earley, LRA Coordinator
