About this opportunity
The City of Scranton Office of Business Administration is seeking professional Zoning and Planning Services through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process targeting qualified firms or individuals. The procurement requires comprehensive zoning review services including subdivision and land development application reviews, zoning permit evaluations, violation letter preparation, stormwater management compliance checks, as-built plan submissions, developer agreement reviews, and written reporting to the Planning Commission. Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of 5 years of professional experience and submit detailed cost proposals with hourly rates and total project costs. The evaluation will utilize a weighted scoring system assessing proposal completeness (10%), responsiveness to requirements (25%), professional qualifications and experience (25%), proposed work plan (25%), and project fees (15%). Critical procurement dates include a question submission deadline of 4:30 pm on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, and a proposal submission deadline of 10:00 am on Thursday, April 18, 2024. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the City of Scranton's e-Procurement Portal, with a mandatory registration requirement for potential respondents.
The RFP requires comprehensive documentation from respondents, including certificates of insurance, affirmative action documentation, non-segregated facilities certifications, non-collusion affidavits, and contractor disclosures. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses are explicitly mentioned, the City reserves the right to negotiate final contract scope and reject any proposals that do not meet their requirements. The procurement is not automatically awarded to the lowest-cost bidder but to the proposal most closely aligning with the city's planning service needs. Though no specific budget range is provided in the documents, respondents are expected to provide detailed cost structures with hourly rates and comprehensive project fee estimates. Technical support for the e-Procurement Portal is available through OpenGov's software support team, accessible via real-time chat or email at support@procurenow.com, ensuring potential bidders can receive assistance during the proposal preparation process.
