City of Suwanee Request for Qualifications Downtown Parking Study

The City of Suwanee is seeking Statements of Qualifications and fee proposals from qualified individuals or firms to conduct a Downtown Parking Study. The project involves evaluating current parking regulations and demand, engaging with key city stakeholders, and developing 5-10 year parking demand scenarios. The consultant is expected to prioritize parking management strategies over new construction and provide the city with a final report and an editable data tool for in-house replication. The project timeline includes a contract award on January 26, 2027, data collection starting no earlier than March 2027, and a final presentation to the City Council in Summer 2027. Proposals must be submitted in two separate sealed envelopes by December 18, 2026, at 2:00 pm EST. The first envelope must contain a Statement of Qualifications, limited to 15 informational pages, detailing the firm's experience, project approach, and at least two comparable parking studies completed within the last seven years. The second envelope must contain a sealed fee proposal broken down by task. Selection is based on a 100-point scoring system focusing on scope understanding, firm expertise, staff qualifications, and proposal quality. The successful consultant must maintain Commercial General Liability, Professional Liability, Automobile Liability, and Workers’ Compensation insurance, and all resulting data and documentation will remain the exclusive property of the City of Suwanee.
