RFP for City of Canton Impact Fee Program Update

The City of Canton has issued a request for proposals to engage qualified consultants in conducting a comprehensive review of its existing impact fee program. The primary goal is to evaluate whether there is a rational nexus between the impact fees charged and the services provided in areas such as parks and recreation, fire protection, police services, and road improvements. If the review determines that the current impact fee calculations are aligned with the level of service delivered, the consultants will be expected to provide recommendations to establish a clear and equitable relationship between fees and services. The project aims to ensure fairness and transparency in the impact fee structure, aligning charges with actual service needs and infrastructure costs. Proposals must be submitted by August 12, 2024, with the contract value estimated to range between $50,000 and $150,000. Interested parties can direct questions and comments to Kevin Turner via email or phone. The solicitation is part of the City of Canton’s efforts to maintain a rational and just impact fee program, ensuring that the fees collected accurately reflect the costs of infrastructure and service provision for community development.
