Redevelopment Planning and Implementation Strategy for Bonnie Doone Neighborhood

The City of Fayetteville, North Carolina is requesting proposals for a Neighborhood Redevelopment Planning and Implementation Strategy for the Bonnie Doone neighborhood, with proposals due August 7, 2026 at 2:00 PM and a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on July 23, 2026 at 2:00 PM. The City requires a 10% SDBE participation goal and 10% North Carolina HUB participation minimum.

The selected consultant or multidisciplinary team must deliver a comprehensive, implementation-oriented plan that identifies realistic redevelopment opportunities, financing mechanisms, barriers to reinvestment, public-sector catalysts, and prioritized implementation steps. Deliverables include project work plan, existing conditions assessment, community engagement summary, market analysis, draft implementation strategy, and final comprehensive plan in editable and PDF formats. The consultant team must demonstrate prior experience translating redevelopment planning into implemented projects, funding awards, public-private partnerships, policy adoption, infrastructure investments, or measurable capital reinvestment outcomes—a core qualification filter. Recommendations must distinguish between long-term aspirational concepts and financially, operationally, and organizationally achievable opportunities under current or reasonably anticipated conditions.

The contract term is approximately one year beginning August 31, 2026 with completion expected by March 31, 2027; the City may renew for up to one additional one-year period for a maximum two-year term. Required insurance includes Commercial General Liability of $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate, Professional Liability / Errors & Omissions of $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate, Workers' Compensation with $500,000 employer's liability minimum, and Automobile Liability of $1 million combined single limit. The City must be named as Additional Insured on General and Auto Liability policies. Respondents must provide three local government or public-sector references, preferably from North Carolina municipalities or counties, and submit itemized pricing proposals. Vendor registration with the City and E-Verify compliance are required.

Evaluation criteria are Technical Approach & Understanding of Scope (30%), Qualifications, Experience & References (25%), Project Team & Key Personnel (20%), Cost/Price Proposal (15%), and SDBE/HUB Small Business Participation (10%), weighted toward technical and team strength. Evaluation runs August 10–14, 2026, with potential oral interviews August 17 and anticipated contract award August 25, 2026. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and cancel the solicitation.
