The City of Littleton seeks a qualified consulting team capable of overseeing the entire design phase, including stakeholder engagement, data collection, schematic development, permitting, and cost estimation, with an estimated contract value ranging from 500,000 to 2 million dollars. The project builds upon extensive existing conditions analysis documented in a comprehensive data book, which assesses mobility, parking, safety, environmental factors, historic character, and utility needs, aiming to enhance multimodal connectivity, streetscape vibrancy, and pedestrian safety. The solicitation, issued as RFP 23-2025, emphasizes a best-value evaluation process weighted heavily toward detailed cost proposals, capability explanations, and compliance with the city's terms. The final deliverables include a detailed conceptual plan, implementation strategies, and funding opportunities, culminating in a final report developed with input from multiple city departments and stakeholders. The contract will be governed by a professional services agreement that outlines performance standards, contractual obligations, and compliance requirements, with a formal certification process for bidders to affirm understanding of contractual terms. The procurement process mandates electronic submission via the SWIFT portal, with no specified set-aside status, and anticipates a performance period beginning in early 2025, aligned with the completion of design and planning phases to support downtown revitalization efforts.
