The City of Santa Cruz is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for consulting services to develop a Development Impact Fee and Nexus Study for the Downtown Plan Expansion area in compliance with California's Mitigation Fee Act (AB 1600, Government Code Sections 66000-66025). The procurement seeks qualified consultants to prepare comprehensive documentation demonstrating the nexus between new developments in the approximately 29-acre Downtown Plan Expansion area and their impacts on municipal infrastructure, while justifying appropriate development impact fee rates. Key deliverables include reviewing and validating the City's adopted buildout assumptions (1,116 residential units, 54,100 square feet of commercial space, and 1,251 parking spaces across ten blocks) and order-of-magnitude infrastructure cost estimates (totaling approximately $39.9 million for public improvements), conducting infrastructure needs assessments, performing nexus and proportionality analyses, developing fee structures, and preparing a final Nexus Study ready for City Council adoption. The infrastructure analysis must address utility upgrades (potable water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, electrical, natural gas, and communications), traffic and circulation improvements (including the Pacific Avenue/Front Street roundabout and Laurel Street Extension realignment), pedestrian and bicycle facilities, parks and open space development, and flood control measures within FEMA flood hazard zones. Proposers must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience performing economic analysis, impact fee analysis, and nexus studies for municipal clients, and the contract term is six months from award with potential for renewal by mutual agreement. Proposals are due by April 23, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. through the City's e-Procurement Portal, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting on April 15, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams and a deadline of April 17, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. for submission of questions and clarifications. Proposals will be evaluated using a 100-point scoring system weighted as follows: Adherence to RFP Requirements (5%), Firm Background Information (10%), Team Qualifications and Expertise (10%), Technical Approach and Work Plan (50%), Cost Proposal (20%), and References (5%).
The RFP allows for local business and locally owned business preferences, with scoring bonuses of 2% and 4% respectively for firms meeting specified criteria. There are no prevailing wage requirements for this contract; however, proposers must comply with the City's Living Wage Ordinance for contracts exceeding $10,000. All costs including direct labor, overhead, fringe benefits, profit, subcontractor costs, materials, supplies, taxes, and travel must be included in the cost proposal. The selected consultant must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including Professional Liability ($2,000,000 per occurrence/aggregate), Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), Auto Liability ($1,000,000), and Workers' Compensation with statutory limits. The RFP does not identify any incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requiring integration. While the RFP documents do not explicitly state an award value or budget range, the City has identified approximately $39.9 million in total infrastructure costs for the Downtown Plan Expansion project; however, this represents the overall project cost rather than the consultant contract value. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, request additional information from proposers, and negotiate with the highest-ranked proposer, proceeding to subsequent ranked proposers if negotiations fail, with all proposals becoming City property subject to public disclosure under California's Public Records Act once a Notice of Intent to Award is issued.
