RFP-Update to Landscaping Section of the Branford Zoning Regulations

The Town of Branford, Connecticut is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to procure professional services for updating Section 6.3 (Landscaping) and related provisions of the Town's Zoning Regulations. The primary objective is to develop comprehensive revisions to landscaping requirements, with potential expansion to other subsections of Section 6 (Basic Standards), including parking, stormwater drainage, grading, and lighting, contingent upon available funding. The Town seeks an experienced individual or consulting firm with demonstrated expertise in zoning regulation development and landscape planning. Interested parties must submit a detailed proposal by October 7, 2024, at 11:30 AM local time, with late submissions being automatically disqualified. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly outlined in the RFP documents, the selection will likely focus on the proposer's qualifications, technical approach, understanding of municipal zoning requirements, and potential cost-effectiveness of proposed revisions.

No specific set-aside designations, vendor restrictions, or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned in the RFP documentation. The solicitation appears open to all qualified vendors without preferential treatment or targeted participation goals. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified, and there are no explicit references to existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The RFP does not specify an estimated contract value, budget range, or precise funding allocation for the project. Interested firms are advised to contact Harry Smith, the Town Planner, at 203-488-1255 or hsmith@branford-ct.gov for additional information or clarification regarding the scope of work, potential contract terms, or submission requirements.
