DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Minnesota seeks a vendor to provide services for a planning grant program aimed at transforming single-use, auto-centric areas into compact, mixed-use spaces with a high-quality public realm that encourages walking and rolling. The project intends to improve connectivity between key destinations such as homes, jobs, educational institutions, commercial areas, and recreational facilities via walking, biking, or transit.
Additional objectives include expanding economic opportunities and housing choices, promoting equitable development, community wealth building, and economic inclusion. The service will also support land use changes that balance development with ecological enhancement, contributing to reduced Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) and lower greenhouse gas emissions, thereby creating more resilient communities from both economic and climate perspectives.
Questions regarding this RFP must be submitted by March 26, 2026.
