Legal Notice (7).pdf

This is a Legal Notice from the Village of Scarsdale, New York, announcing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for comprehensive planning services. The Village seeks professional planning services including analysis, technical writing, community engagement support, and final document preparation for an updated Village comprehensive plan. The RFP solicits proposals from qualified firms to provide these professional services to develop a comprehensive plan that will guide the Village's future development and policy decisions. The deadline for submission of proposals is specified within the notice, with the Village establishing a formal process for evaluation and selection of the winning bidder. Site visits and bidder conferences may be available for interested parties to gain familiarity with the project scope and ask clarifying questions prior to proposal submission.

The RFP establishes Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) contracting goals of 30 percent each, reflecting New York's commitment to fostering diversity in procurement. No businesses have been awarded an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years. The Village will evaluate proposals based on the qualifications, experience, and proposed methodologies of responding firms, with consideration given to their ability to meet the established MWBE goals. The contract will be funded through Village resources, and the selected firm will be responsible for delivering a comprehensive final document that reflects community input and technical expertise in long-range planning.
