Spokane’s University District is seeking a firm with expertise to implement the attached RFP. To ensure the University District continues to serve the needs of the community and guide anticipated growth and development within the area over the short- and medium-term, the City of Spokane and the University District Public Development Authority (UDPDA) are jointly pursuing a limited scope update to the 2004 University District Strategic Master Plan (UDSMP) and the preparation of a south Sub-area Plan. The UDSMP update will set the stage for sub-area planning within the University District by providing focused attention to the development potential and challenges facing key areas. The first sub-area plan will draw upon the current initiatives already underway within the area and set a framework for sustainable economic growth and investment and removing barriers to development. The University District Development Association (UDDA) is contracted to operate the UDPDA and will be managing the RFP selection and subsequent contract. Your firm is receiving this notice because you have registered your interest in providing professional services in Spokane. This RFP process will be fast paced and time sensitive so the timeliness and relevance of the proposals will be valued over their length (maximum 20 pages). The successful firm will demonstrate willingness and expertise to draw on past and current University District plans and partners for the best possible planning outcome. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions re the RFP.
