body
SUMMARY:
In accordance with the CRA Bylaws which require the CRA to follow City of Pensacola procurement procedures, the CRA must appoint a selection committee to review responses to Requests for Qualifications (RFQ). On April 10, 2017, the CRA approved the FY 2017/2018 CRA Work Plan which authorized implementation of design standards for the City of Pensacola’s Urban Core, Westside and Eastside Community Redevelopment Areas and re-allocated $85,000 towards the project. To cover the full cost of engaging a highly qualified urban design consulting team, CRA staff has also applied for a DEO Community Planning Technical Assistance Grant. If awarded, the Grant will provide an additional $40,000 in supplemental funding towards the project.
A RFQ was advertised in the Pensacola News Journal on July 26, 2017 for selection of an urban design consultant to develop, adopt and codify design standards for each of the City’s community redevelopment areas. In accordance with the City’s procurement procedures, the CRA must appoint at least three (3) representatives to serve as members of the Community Redevelopment Area Overlay Selection Committee. The Selection Committee will be tasked with evaluation of project proposals and recommendation of a Consultant to the CRA for selection.
