Description
The City of Wilmington is seeking qualified firms to develop a comprehensive downtown master plan focused on placemaking and public‑realm improvements. The effort will produce a strategic roadmap, design standards, and incentive toolkits for two primary sites— the Northern Riverfront District and the Chestnut Street redevelopment area— with optional add‑alternates for additional downtown parcels. The work is phased, requiring baseline analysis, community visioning, design development, and adoption‑ready documentation.
• Phase 1: Baseline conditions, visioning workshops, and placemaking strategy development.
• Phase 2: Detailed design and activation plans, including public‑art and interim use concepts.
• Phase 3: Final master‑plan documents, form‑based code, design guidelines, and economic‑incentive toolkit ready for City Council adoption.
• Deliverables include reports, maps, design standards, and a “playbook” for implementation, all to be submitted electronically and in hard copy by the July 13 deadline.
