2026 Village, Barrio, and Beach Area Parking Study

The City of Carlsbad’s Community Development Department, Planning Division is seeking qualified firms to conduct a comprehensive parking study for the Village, Barrio, and beach area neighborhoods in preparation for 2026. The study will involve collecting and documenting an inventory of all public and private parking spaces in the designated areas, using the 2025 parking study as a foundational template. A key component includes conducting on-site parking surveys during one weekday and one weekend day to capture peak summer season usage patterns and behaviors, ensuring the resulting analysis accurately reflects current capacity, conditions, and demand. The selected firm will be required to deliver a detailed report that synthesizes the collected data along with all raw files, including editable text, tables, graphics, metadata, GIS shapefiles, and geodatabases, to allow full reproducibility and future updates by the City. The contract is structured for a one-year term, with all submissions due by June 6, 2026, under solicitation number RFP 26-07, which was posted on May 4, 2026. The NAICS code 541370 applies to this professional services procurement, and the agency is managed by the Finance Department of the City of Carlsbad in California. No bid bond is required, and the primary point of contact for inquiries is Shea Sainz, reachable via email or phone. The contract does not specify set-aside classifications or additional award criteria beyond the submitted qualifications and proposal as outlined in the RFP document. All performance and deliverables are tied to the study’s scope, with a strong emphasis on data transparency and format compatibility for long-term City use.
