Development of Form-Based Zoning Code in Pilot Area

The City of Arlington in Texas is seeking proposals from experienced consultants to lead the development and implementation of a new Form-Based Zoning Code (FBC) that will replace the existing Euclidian zoning regulations within a designated pilot area. The selected consultant will be responsible for guiding the visioning process and creating a comprehensive zoning framework tailored to the specific geographic area chosen for the pilot. This initiative aims to modernize zoning practices, promote sustainable development, and improve urban form and design standards. The project has a budget range between $150,000 and $500,000, with a clear deadline for submissions set for June 6, 2024. Proposals must be submitted electronically via IonWave, the City’s official platform for solicitation notifications, to ensure proper receipt of all specifications and addendums. Paper submissions are also accepted but must be sealed and properly labeled, and late proposals will not be considered. The City emphasizes the importance of using IonWave exclusively for bid notifications to avoid missing critical updates. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Purchasing Agent Lisa Dahr, who can be reached by email or phone for further inquiries. The project underscores Arlington’s commitment to innovative urban planning and sustainable growth through a collaborative and transparent procurement process.
