Downtown Lincoln Master Plan Engagement

The City of Lincoln is seeking proposals from qualified planning and environmental consulting firms to develop and execute a comprehensive community engagement strategy for the Downtown Master Plan and Objective Design and Development Standards project. The primary focus is to improve public participation, especially among disadvantaged and historically underrepresented groups, through targeted community outreach and strategic coordination efforts. This initiative aims to support the City’s alignment with the SACOG Green Means Go program, which emphasizes sustainable development practices such as infill development, affordable housing, sustainable transportation, and greenhouse gas reduction, with an emphasis on revitalizing existing neighborhoods. The engagement process is designed to supplement the existing planning efforts, ensuring inclusivity and broad community input in decision-making. The contract, titled "Downtown Lincoln Master Plan Engagement," was posted on August 6, 2025, with a deadline for responses set for September 5, 2025. The solicitation is open to firms with a project budget ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 and is managed by the City of Lincoln, California. The project underscores the importance of community-based outreach in fostering an inclusive planning process that amplifies voices from all community segments, particularly those traditionally underrepresented in urban planning initiatives.
