Request for Qualifications - Consultant Services

West End Neighborhood Planning Study
The City of Bristol, Connecticut
Submittal Deadline: September 28, 2007

The City of Bristol, Connecticut is seeking a qualified planning
consultant to help develop a plan for the "West End" neighborhood, one
of the oldest and most highly urbanized neighborhoods in this city of
61,000 persons. The West End has historically been - and continues to be
- the city's residential point of entry for a variety of ethnic groups:
Italians, Poles, French-Canadians, and Germans in earlier years,
Hispanics today. Through the years, as well as currently, it has
embodied the working-class values with which Bristol residents proudly
define their community. In Bristol, the West End neighborhood has been
known for its close-knit social network of family, friends, co-workers,
and neighbors.

Within the last year or two, the convergence of a number of
circumstances in the neighborhood have shaped the city's decision to
examine and assess the current "state of the neighborhood" and to
develop a comprehensive neighborhood plan for the area.

The selected consultant will examine in a comprehensive manner a variety
of conditions in the West End (such as demographics, land use/zoning,
transportation, housing, market dynamics, and public safety), analyze
the findings, and assist the city and neighborhood stakeholders
(residents, business owners, etc.) in developing a vision and a series
of strategies and recommendations designed to (1) build upon the history
and positive resources of the neighborhood; (2) help to strengthen and
sustain the neighborhood; and (3) serve as a guide for future
development and new public and private investment in the neighborhood.
