The Commercial Façade Improvement Grant Program (“Program”) is an endeavor of the City of Coachella to leverage public funds and private investment to enhance the physical appearance and economic vitality of commercial businesses in the Downtown Pueblo Viejo Area, specifically the segment of Cesar Chavez Street between Sixth Street and Avenue 52. The long-term objective is to upgrade the Downtown Pueblo Viejo Area on Cesar Chavez Street between Sixth Street and Avenue 52 by improving the physical appearance of the area, encouraging the retention of existing businesses, increasing property values, tenant stability, and lease rates for the properties. The program also seeks to fund improvements which create outdoor dining or gathering spaces to promote activity in the downtown. The program is intended to encourage high-quality architectural design, modernization, and private investment in the most visually prominent buildings in Coachella – which in turn will attract more and more high-quality retail and industrial businesses to the city over time. Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), the City will select one or more qualified firms with which the City may contract to perform the services described in the RFP. The purpose is to establish a team of one or more consultants who are available to provide design and technical expertise for the Façade Improvement Program on an as-needed basis.
