Urban & Regional Planning Strategy Development

The contract seeks to develop comprehensive urban and regional planning standards to guide the strategic placement, type, and quantity of parks based on demographic analysis and meaningful community input. The goal is to create a data-driven framework that ensures equitable access to green spaces and informs future development priorities across the region, aligning park infrastructure with population needs and growth projections. The standards will define optimal park configurations, improvement types, and spatial distribution metrics to support long-term public health, environmental, and social equity objectives. The work is classified under NAICS code 541620 for other scientific and technical consulting services and is structured as a subcontract under the California Parks & Recreation agency. The solicitation was posted on June 18, 2026, with a response deadline of July 15, 2026, and places no restrictions on set-aside status. Performance location details are unspecified, but the planning outcomes are intended to apply broadly across California’s urban and regional landscapes. The project emphasizes collaboration with local communities and the integration of empirical data to produce actionable, evidence-based planning guidelines that will shape the next generation of public park systems.
