Growth Plan Consultant

The City of Bend requests proposals for consulting services to develop and execute a planning project resulting in an updated Comprehensive Plan and accompanying state required planning products including the following: Contextualized Housing Needs Analysis (“CHNA”), Buildable Lands Inventory (“BLI”), Economic Opportunities Analysis (“EOA”), Housing Capacity Analysis (“HCA”), Housing Production Strategy (“HPS”), and Transportation System Plan (“TSP”). These deliverables are expected to result in expanding the Urban Growth Boundary (“UGB”) by more than 50 acres, so additional major deliverables associated with the Comprehensive Plan update include adopting Land Use Efficiency Measures (“LUEM”), Climate-Friendly Areas (“CFA”), and an expanded UGB. The updated Comprehensive Plan will represent the values of the community and implement policy direction from the Bend City Council in alignment with state rules. This project will help determine a vision for Bend’s vitality, resiliency, and opportunity for future generations
