Description
The City of Wilmington is seeking qualified urban‑design firms to provide comprehensive downtown master‑planning services. The work is divided into three phases—Assess, Roadmap, and Adopt—and includes data analysis, community engagement, visioning, regulatory review, design‑strategy development, streetscape standards, form‑based code creation, and final implementation documents for City Council adoption. Firms must submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) by the July 13 deadline, acknowledging receipt of the latest addenda, and be prepared for interview and negotiation after the qualification review.
• Scope covers two primary study areas: the Northern Riverfront District and the former City Administrative Complex site on Chestnut Street.
• Deliverables include baseline analyses, visioning outputs, design standards, streetscape plans, form‑based code, and a master‑plan “roadmap” ready for adoption.
• The City may also award optional add‑alternates for additional parcels or districts, allowing firms to expand the scope if desired.
