Village Center Master Plan

The Town of East Granby, Connecticut has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) #522 for a Village Center Master Plan, seeking a comprehensive Master Concept Plan to guide future development within the town's village center. The project requires developing a strategic plan through a community visualization process that will establish expectations for new building development, streetscaping, and facade improvements to create a cohesive sense of place. The selected consultant will be responsible for addressing recent zoning changes, particularly in the Commerce Park B Transition Zone, which has seen high-profile development projects including multi-family housing. The primary objective is to ensure that new and future developments harmonize with existing surroundings and contribute to an integrated urban design. The RFP was issued on August 28, 2022, with proposal submissions due by September 23, 2022, at 12:00 PM EDT. Interested vendors should direct questions to EDC Chairman Paul Thulen and Eden Wimpfheimer from the Town of East Granby, using the contact information provided in the solicitation documents.

The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations, vendor restrictions, or preferences for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The solicitation is open to all vendors and does not provide an estimated total contract value or specific budget range. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment terms. The RFP has been designated as having no line items, and no specific funding sources or requirements are detailed in the documents. While the project is located in Hartford County, Connecticut, there are no geographical restrictions on vendor participation. The contract will be awarded based on the most comprehensive and compelling Master Concept Plan that effectively addresses the town's development goals and creates a unified vision for the village center.
