Site work and paving for a sidewalk / parking lot in Doraville, Georgia. Conceptual plans call for site work for a sidewalk / parking lot; and for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot.

The City's vision for downtown is a dense, walkable, a pedestrian-oriented environment that prioritizes people over cars. The City sees the tremendous value in having the MARTA station so centrally located, and any proposal should capitalize on its immediate adjacency whenever possible. Doraville is a diverse community and is known regionally for the wide array of nationalities and cuisines represented throughout the city. The goal of this RFQ is to attract private investment to the downtown area while celebrating and preserving Doraville's multicultural character. Although the city's property is approximately 13 acres in size, the overall scope of the downtown redevelopment may encompass an area as large as 30+ acres. With privately-owned parcels in the area and large MARTA-owned parcels to the northwest and west, there may be other parcels or partnerships available to expand the scope of this project. We don't want to constrain the boundaries of the redevelopment to only our 13 acres, but cannot guarantee the acquisition of additional parcels at this time. It should be understood that additional private parties will certainly be interested in either partnering with our city-led redevelopment or starting projects of their own in order to capitalize on the downtown's imminent growth. Further, the City will require that all government services currently operating in this location remain in the town center, and within easy walking distance to the MARTA station, as part of any agreement. However, the City is open to either standalone government building(s) or being incorporated into a larger, multi-use development. In addition, the City is not interested in retaining any of the existing structures on property owned by the City of Doraville. The City is open to discussion about special service districts, ground leasing, land swaps, and other arrangements to ensure this agreement is financially viable. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
