AI Contract Overview
The City of Allentown is soliciting proposals under RFP 2026-84 for a qualified consultant to conduct a comprehensive citywide Parking Inventory and Density Study. The project requires the development of a spatially explicit map and dataset detailing the availability and use of on-street and off-street parking across all zoning districts. This tool will assist city staff and the Zoning Hearing Board in making informed decisions regarding parking variances, reduced requirements, and adaptive reuse projects. Key technical requirements include calculating parking density metrics, such as spaces per residential unit and per 1,000 square feet of non-residential area, and ensuring the final deliverables are usable by staff without specialized GIS knowledge. The contract term is six months from execution, with a possible two-month extension. Proposals must be submitted electronically via PennBid by November 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with a strict requirement that cost proposals be uploaded as separate documents to avoid disqualification. Evaluation is based on the most advantageous proposal, considering methodology, firm experience, staff qualifications, and cost, though the lowest bid is not guaranteed the award. Mandatory submissions include a signed signature page, political non-disclosure form, and diversity certifications. Identified Business Enterprises (IBE) may receive 10 preference points. Awardees must maintain comprehensive general, professional, and auto liability insurance, obtain a City of Allentown business tax license, and adhere to MBE/WBE participation goals of 5% and 3%, respectively.
