Coal Creek Strategic Plan South of Erie Parkway

The Town of Erie, Colorado has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Coal Creek Strategic Plan South of Erie Parkway (Project Number P25-651), seeking a professional consultant to develop a comprehensive strategic plan for improvements to the Coal Creek corridor. The primary objective is to create detailed conceptual designs, identify permitting requirements, develop a program schedule, and generate cost estimates for multiple separate improvement projects to assist the Town in budgeting and programming future construction efforts. Key deliverables include a strategic plan with project groupings, priority analyses, timing recommendations for design and construction, and potential grant funding exploration. Electronic proposals are due by 1:00 p.m. on August 19, 2025, with a pre-proposal conference scheduled for July 29, 2025, at the Erie Council Chambers. The anticipated project completion date is September 25, 2026, with consultant selection and negotiations to be completed by September 2, 2025. The consultant will be responsible for project management meetings, obtaining GIS information, conducting field site visits, and preparing comprehensive documentation of proposed improvements.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the RFP, the project budget is anticipated to be less than $250,000, with compensation structured on hourly rates for services rendered. The procurement is open to professional consulting firms with expertise in municipal infrastructure planning, strategic development, and corridor improvement projects. The Town seeks a consultant with demonstrated capability to provide detailed professional analysis and strategic planning for municipal infrastructure improvements. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are identified in the documentation, and no specific technology integration requirements are noted. Interested consultants will be evaluated based on their professional expertise, proposed approach to the project, understanding of the Coal Creek corridor's unique characteristics, and ability to provide comprehensive strategic planning that supports the Town's long-term infrastructure development goals.
