Policy, Code, and Ordinance Review

The City of Atlanta is seeking a subcontractor to conduct a comprehensive review of its zoning, land use, and tree protection policies with the goal of identifying gaps and recommending regulatory improvements to better preserve the urban forest. This engagement requires in-depth analysis of existing ordinances and codes to assess their effectiveness in protecting trees and promoting sustainable urban green infrastructure. The subcontractor will be expected to evaluate how current regulations support or hinder tree preservation efforts, considering factors such as development pressures, enforcement mechanisms, and equitable access to canopy cover across neighborhoods. The work must be completed by the response deadline of July 30, 2026, following a posting date of July 15, 2026, under a subcontract arrangement with a NAICS code of 541611 for environmental consulting services. The performance location is tied to Atlanta, Georgia, and the project emphasizes actionable outcomes that can inform policy updates, code amendments, or new ordinances aimed at strengthening urban forestry protections. While no specific point of contact or set-aside details are provided, the initiative underscores the city’s commitment to enhancing environmental resilience through revised land use governance and tree conservation frameworks.
