10-YEAR POCD & CGS 8-30J AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN SERVICES (Notice-Only)

The Town of Beacon Falls, located in New Haven County, Connecticut, is seeking professional consulting services through an Invitation to Bid (ITB #22-4R) to assist its Land Use Department in preparing two critical planning documents: the 2023 Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD) and an Affordable Housing Plan in accordance with statutory and local requirements. The procurement is specifically targeting professional individuals or firms based in Connecticut who can develop comprehensive planning documents that meet local and state guidelines. Potential consultants must be prepared to engage in detailed planning work that involves creating strategic documents to guide the town's future development and housing strategies. The solicitation requires all questions to be submitted through the Bonfire e-Procurement portal by December 19, 2022, at 10:00 AM EST, with final proposals due on January 2, 2023, at 10:00 AM EST. Interested consultants must create a Town of Beacon Falls e-Procurement Bonfire account to access the full opportunity details and submit their proposals, with all submissions and communications to be conducted exclusively through the Bonfire portal.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond beyond the requirement that consultants must be based in Connecticut. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure that might require integration. The procurement documents explicitly state that there are no line items and do not provide an estimated total contract value or budget range. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor. The Town of Beacon Falls will use standard vendor-specified payment conditions, and the contract appears to be open to competitive bidding from any qualified Connecticut-based professional planning consultant or firm capable of producing the required planning documents.
