I-88 Corridor Land Use Study

The City of Naperville, Illinois, is soliciting a qualified consultant to conduct the I-88 Corridor Land Use Study under solicitation number 26-147. The primary objective is to develop a future land use plan and perform a comprehensive zoning review for the I-88 Corridor, utilizing the Naperville Development Partnership's existing strategy as a foundation. The selected vendor will be responsible for creating place types and guidelines for growth clusters, establishing criteria for mixed-use development and housing, and recommending specific amendments to the City's Office, Research, and Light Industrial (ORI) Zoning District. The project is expected to start on January 19, 2027, with a completion deadline of December 31, 2027, and an initial contract term of one year with the possibility of two additional one-year extensions. The procurement follows a Quality-Based Selection (QBS) process consisting of a technical evaluation, interviews for shortlisted candidates, and final negotiations with the highest-ranked proposer. Evaluation criteria are weighted toward the suitability and quality of the approach (50%) and the capability and qualifications of the proposer (40%), with milestones and deliverables accounting for the remaining 10%. The resulting Professional Services Agreement requires the consultant to maintain high professional standards of care, adhere to a specific Quality Control and Quality Assurance Plan, and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general and automobile liability limits of 2,000,000 dollars. Payment is structured as net 30 via electronic transfer, and the contract is contingent upon the receipt of future funding.
