Conceptual Planning and Land Use Design

The City of Waco is seeking a contractor to develop a comprehensive conceptual plan focused on land use, zoning compatibility, public benefits, and a phased development vision that aligns with Federal Aviation Administration regulations and airport operations. The scope requires detailed analysis and strategic planning to ensure proposed developments are functionally and legally compatible with surrounding airport activities, including noise buffers, safety clearances, and operational efficiency. The plan must integrate community needs with aviation constraints to create a sustainable, long-term vision that supports both urban growth and airport integrity. Subcontractors are invited to submit proposals by September 15, 2026, under NAICS code 541330 for architectural and engineering services. The solicitation is open under a subcontract structure with no set-aside classification, and the work must be performed in alignment with the City of Waco’s objectives for its airport corridor. While specific performance location details are not provided, the project is tied to airport-adjacent properties in Waco, Texas, and responders are expected to demonstrate expertise in aviation-adjacent land use planning, regulatory compliance, and public engagement. The bid must reflect a clear understanding of FAA guidelines and the ability to translate complex operational requirements into actionable development strategies.
