Parking Lot Greening Guidebook

The City of Sacramento is seeking a qualified consulting team to create a comprehensive “Parking Lot Greening Guidebook” that addresses design, engineering, tree‑well solutions, soil remediation, code compliance, and maintenance for parking lots throughout the city. The work includes project management, stakeholder outreach, research of best practices, and the production of a fully‑finished guidebook ready for public release. The effort is funded by a USDA Forest Service grant and is capped at $150,000 cost‑plus‑overhead‑fee. • Develop a Project Management Plan and provide monthly progress reports and invoicing per City templates. • Conduct literature review, comparative analysis of other jurisdictions, and extensive community/ stakeholder engagement (surveys, interviews, webinars). • Draft, review, and finalize a guidebook covering benefits, incentives, design standards, engineering considerations, tree‑well design, soil/irrigation, maintenance, and case studies, tailored to Sacramento’s climate, soils, and ordinances.
