Everywhere-to-Everywhere Greenways Feasibility Study

The Town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina is seeking written statements of qualifications (SOQs) from professional engineering and design firms specializing in planning and design services for a comprehensive feasibility study on a conceptual 25+ mile greenway network in Chapel Hill. The Town received a RAISE Planning Grant in 2023 to fund this study, and responses to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) are due by 3:00 pm on September 27, 2024. The scope of work includes project management, robust community engagement, existing conditions assessments, feasibility analysis, financial evaluation, and development of a final report and implementation plan. Respondents must address their qualifications, technical approach, project timeline, team experience, potential conflicts of interest, and provide client references. The Town will evaluate proposals based on the firm's relevant experience, technical approach, public engagement approach, and overall qualifications, with the goal of completing the final feasibility study within two years of contract award.

The RFQ does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not provide a specific award value or budget range, but indicates that the Town reserves the right to reject any and all Statements of Qualifications.
