Smart Growth Comprehensive Plan, City of Glens Falls NY

The City of Glens Falls is seeking proposals from qualified professionals to develop an updated Comprehensive Plan aligned with New York State’s Smart Growth Program, which will serve as the foundation for a comprehensive update of the city’s zoning code. The project is funded through a state grant and adheres to community planning requirements established by the New York State Department of State. The contract, valued between $100,000 and $500,000, is expected to last for 16 months, with a submission deadline of June 13, 2024. The city emphasizes encouraging participation from Women and Minority Business Enterprises, setting a goal of 15% subcontracting for each category, though the contract is not set aside specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The city promotes collaboration among individual professionals and small firms to deliver the full scope of services under a single lead contractor. This initiative is located in Warren County, New York, and is open to entities that have not previously held similar contracts within the past five years. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Patrick Dowd, the Community Development Director, reachable via email or phone. The project aims to guide sustainable growth and development in Glens Falls by establishing modern planning policies and zoning updates that reflect community needs and state guidelines.
