Request for Proposals (RFP) for Planning Consultant Services Africa Town Neighborhood Revitalization Plan Bid#NRP2015-1 Section 1 – Introduction and Project Overview The City of Mobile, Alabama’s Community and Housing Development (CHD) Department requests Proposals from interested and qualified Proposers to include a planning consulting team (Consultant) to assist in the development of a Neighborhood Revitalization Plan (Africa Town Plan), a plan that will set the direction for creating a 21st Century Africa Town neighborhood that is environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable. The Africa Town neighborhood is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is locally designated requiring all new work to be approved by the Architectural Review Board. Plans must respect the historic nature of the area while striving to create a vibrant contemporary neighborhood. The goals of the Africa Town Neighborhood Revitalization Plan/Strategy are to: a. Prepare a detailed and illustrated Plan of the community’s vision for Africa Town, utilizing an extensive community outreach and public engagement process to gain input from diverse populations such as property owners, residents, the homeless, merchants, neighbors, community stakeholders, technical experts, and government officials. This Plan will be realistic and market-based. While the Plan will provide an ultimate 3 to 5-year vision for the Africa Town community, it will also contain a “how to” prescription detailing the incremental steps needed to implement the overall vision. b. Stage or sequence the transformation of the community as a vital, mixed-use, sustainable community, while preserving, restoring, and enhancing valued community assets and characteristics. This effort will include an analysis of existing conditions and current socioeconomic dynamics with a focus on identifying barriers to revitalization. This effort should include an analysis of previous planning documents, past grant applications, and neighborhood needs assessments in order to identify the steps or sequence of steps needed to tear down those barriers in the future. c. Address problems of affordable housing, blight and vacant properties, fair housing, high unemployment rate and low graduation rates, crime, transportation, land use and urban form, and identify opportunities for preservation and celebration of historic structures, events and people that have been a part of Africa Town. d. Align the Africa Town Plan with the educational, economic, workforce development, health, sustainability and business strategies of the City and the Region to ensure that neighborhood assets that serve this area provide improved access to residents, students, workers, and customers, and incentivize further investment in the community.
