Urban Design and Planning Framework Development

The City of Tualatin, Oregon is seeking a contractor to develop three concept-level urban design alternatives for its downtown area, with the goal of creating a cohesive and actionable framework that enhances the urban fabric and connects with the Tualatin River Greenway. Each alternative must explore distinct design approaches that reflect community values, promote walkability, support economic vitality, and integrate sustainable land use patterns. The selected contractor will then refine one of these concepts into a schematic-level framework that includes detailed public space layouts, street design elements, and seamless connections to the surrounding greenway network, ensuring the final plan is both visionary and implementable. This subcontract opportunity, classified under NAICS code 541330 for architectural and engineering services, requires a thorough understanding of urban planning principles, public engagement processes, and regional context. Proposals must be submitted by July 24, 2026, and the work will be performed in Tualatin with a focus on creating designs that align with local goals for revitalization, environmental stewardship, and community gathering. The ultimate deliverable is a comprehensive schematic framework that serves as a foundation for future development, guiding infrastructure investments and design standards within the downtown core.
