Description
The City of Wilmington seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive urban‑design consulting for its Downtown Master Planning effort. The work is divided into three phases—assessment, roadmap creation, and adoption—covering data analysis, community engagement, design‑strategy development, streetscape standards, form‑based code updates, and implementation documents for two primary study areas (Northern Riverfront District and the Chestnut Street site) with optional add‑alternates. Qualifications are evaluated on experience, capacity, and quality of submission, followed by interviews and negotiations. The contract will be awarded after a July‑August evaluation cycle, with a projected overall timeline of roughly 9‑12 months.
