• Required deliverables: kickoff/work plan, existing‑conditions report, vision & “bubble” diagrams, land‑use concepts, feasibility analysis, draft and final STAMPs, implementation plan, financing strategies, and supporting technical appendices.
• Mandatory community‑outreach and stakeholder coordination (combined meetings for both stations), with the City handling logistics and the consultant leading content development.
• Proposal must include detailed hourly rates, staff‑hour estimates, references, financial and litigation disclosures, and insurance certificates.
