The Town of Mooresville, North Carolina is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking professional consulting firms to complete a comprehensive update to the Town's Land Development Design Standards Manual (LDS).

The selected firm will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the existing LDS, develop an update framework, and deliver a final document that is searchable, cross-referenced, and easily editable by Town staff, with particular attention to document formatting, internal consistency, technical accuracy, and alignment with current regulatory and industry standards.
