Description
The City of Wilmington is seeking qualified firms to provide market‑feasibility and economic‑analysis services supporting its Downtown Master Planning effort. The work is organized into three phases – baseline assessment and strategic direction, a detailed roadmap, and final adoption documents – and includes parking studies, incentive toolkits, fiscal impact modeling, and coordination with parallel urban‑design and placemaking consultants. The selected firm(s) will deliver data‑driven recommendations, ROI analyses, and implementation plans for two key study areas: the Northern Riverfront District and the 305‑319 Chestnut Street site.
• Conduct comprehensive market‑feasibility analysis (residential, office, retail, hospitality) and develop an economic‑incentive toolkit.
• Lead a parking inventory and demand‑modeling study, producing scenario‑based forecasts and recommendations.
• Produce fiscal impact and ROI models, cost workbooks, and a multi‑phased implementation roadmap aligned with City Council requirements.
• Coordinate with Urban Design and Placemaking consultants to ensure integrated master‑plan outputs.
• Deliver final adoption‑ready documents (form‑based code updates, covenants, design standards) for City Council approval.
