This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Madras, Oregon. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN The City of Madras is soliciting written proposals from a qualified consulting firm to prepare an update to the City's Industrial Site Readiness Plan that was completed in 2017. The update needs to consider future land uses, development, the infrastructure needed to serve future land uses, a strategic phasing plan, and a funding plan so the City can communicate with property owners and developers what is required to develop land within the study area. This is a Request for Proposal (RFP), this is not an invitation to bid. Although cost is very important, other factors will be taken into consideration in selecting a proposal. The project scope, content of proposal, and vendor selection process are summarized in the RFP. All responses must include submit three complete hard copies of the proposal and one electronic copy in a PDF format of all proposal materials. Emailed, faxed or otherwise digitally transmitted proposals will not be accepted. The study area for the Plan comprises publicly and privately owned land that includes the Madras Municipal Airport, the City of Madras North Wastewater Treatment Plan, a Union Pacific Railroad and spurs operated by BNSF Railroad, and large tracts of publicly owned land located in the city limits that is available for development without infrastructure. The City intends to retain a consultant to prepare an update to the Industrial Site Readiness Plan update (ISRP) to improve the likelihood of developing underutilized lands for significant economic development benefit to the community. This document is intended to provide interested consultants with sufficient information to prepare and submit a proposal for consideration by the City of Madras. Scope of Work In general, the update to the City's ISRP needs to confirm existing infrastructure in the project area, add a land use element to the plan so that needed infrastructure improvements can accommodate desired development, allow the City to leverage the plan for public and private investments in development and infrastructure improvements, establish a funding plan, and create a GIS database of existing infrastructure to allow the City and external stakeholders to quickly access and assess the proximity and availability of existing infrastructure to sites within the project area. The consultant and City will accomplish this through 10 tasks and deliverables. Project Milestones Dates indicated are dates the City desires to meet or exceed. However, the firm is strongly encouraged to realistically consider its ability to meet each of these milestones and submit a schedule it can meet. A.
