Craig Master Plan Update

The City of Craig, Colorado is requesting proposals for consulting services to prepare a comprehensive Master Plan Update with proposals due September 8, 2026 at 1:00 P.M., and anticipated contract award in October 2026.

The scope requires development of a new comprehensive plan to replace Craig's portion of the 2003 City of Craig/Moffat County Master Plan, serving as the City's primary policy guide for land use, growth, housing, transportation, parks, trails, open space, recreation, tourism, downtown infrastructure, economic development, community character, water supply, hazard mitigation, and implementation strategy. Deliverables include plan review and strategic integration, community engagement, existing conditions analysis, housing integration, future land use frameworks, and intergovernmental coordination with Moffat County. The Water Supply Element and Hazard Mitigation Resiliency Plan are separate cost-tracked deliverables required to support compliance with Colorado Senate Bill 24-174 and other state requirements. All final work products become the property of the City of Craig.

The total budget is $195,000, funded through a Local Planning Capacity grant from the Colorado Division of Local Government with local match funds from the City and incentive funding due to Craig's early adoption of fast-track community status. Project kickoff is targeted for October 2026 with completion by March 2028.

Evaluation criteria emphasize team experience, demonstrated Colorado municipal planning expertise, project approach quality, fee cost-effectiveness, and capability to meet the proposed schedule. Written questions regarding scope of work are due by 5:30 P.M. on August 21, 2026, with responses issued as an Addendum by 12:00 P.M. on August 28, 2026. Proposals must not be withdrawn within 60 days after the proposal opening date. Notice to proceed will be issued within ten days of contract execution. Proposals may be submitted via Bidnet Direct, mail, email, or hand delivery to City Hall.
