Request for Proposals - Consultant Services

Sector Plan Development 
The Prince George's County Planning Department, Takoma Park, Maryland
Submittal Deadline: April 4, 2007

The Prince George's County Planning Department and Montgomery County
Planning Department of the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning
Commission (M-NCPPC), in conjunction with the City of Takoma Park,
Maryland, are seeking the services of a multi-disciplinary consultant or
consultant team to assist with the development of a sector plan for the
Takoma Park/Langley Park Crossroads area (hereafter Takoma/Langley
Crossroads).

The consultant will work with a project team consisting of planning
staff from three jurisdictions and consultant staff on preparing a
comprehensive plan and implementation strategy for the planning area
with an emphasis on achieving transit-oriented development (TOD).  The
planning area is the land area within approximately one-half mile of the
intersection of University Boulevard (MD 193) and New Hampshire (MD
650).  The planning area is designated a "Community Center" by the 2002
Prince George's County Approved General Plan and is one of the proposed
sites for a future light rail or bus rapid transit station along the
Purple Line (also known as the BI-County Transitway) that will link
Bethesda and New Carrollton.

A variety of professional services are needed but the primary services
required for this unique joint sector planning process are outreach and
public engagement, economic development planning and community planning.

A Pre-proposal Conference is scheduled for March 14, 2007 at 10:00 a.m.
The meeting will be held at the Commission's Lakeside Offices, located
at 14422 Old Mill Road, Upper Marlboro, MD, in the Jane Jacobs
Conference Room.

Proposals are due 11:00 a.m. on April 4, 2007.  Please contact Jana
Harris at 301-454-1603 or Jana.Harris at MNCPPC.Org
