About this opportunity
The City of Scranton's Office of Business Administration is seeking a qualified firm or individual consultant to provide City Planning and Zoning Services through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The selected consultant will support the Zoning Officer by reviewing zoning permit applications, zoning variance applications, subdivisions, and land development plans. Key deliverables include evaluating potential zoning violations, preparing zoning violation notices, and providing supplemental assistance to the City Planner on an as-needed basis. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the City's e-Procurement Portal by 10:00 am on Thursday, May 9, 2024, with a prior deadline of May 2, 2024, at 4:00 pm for submitting questions. Evaluation criteria will focus on the completeness of proposals, responsiveness to requirements, professional qualifications, proposed work plan, and project fees. Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of 5 years of experience under their current business name and provide comprehensive documentation including a statement of services, management summary, action plan, experience, and personnel information.
The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Respondents must submit several key certifications, including an Affirmative Action Certificate, Certificate of Non-Segregated Facilities, Non-Collusion Affidavit, and Disclosures by Respondent. Insurance requirements are rigorous, with the successful respondent required to carry multiple types of insurance with specific coverage limits, and the City of Scranton must be named as an additional insured. The contract appears to be structured as an hourly engagement, with an estimated time commitment of approximately 40 hours per month for a senior planning and zoning consultant. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the city reserves the right to reject any and all proposals and to negotiate with selected respondents. Potential bidders must register on the City's e-Procurement Portal and follow the project to receive automatic addenda notifications and be eligible to submit a proposal.
