Specifications include, but are not limited to: The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals from potential consultants who will help the City develop and draft an Urban Village Plan for the Eastside Alum Rock Urban Village that will, at a minimum, contain a land use plan, urban design, open space, circulation, and streetscape guidelines and policies. The vision for the planned development area known as the Eastside Alum Rock Urban Village located east of 680 is to further the transit-oriented development and infill growth strategies of the Envision San José 2040 General Plan (“General Plan"). Through its General Plan, the City of San José (“City”) developed corridor-specific land use policy to facilitate high-density residential uses to serve a mix of income levels and provide for relatively high-intensity commercial/office uses and mixed-uses to create a more urban, vibrant, and walkable corridor along the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system on Alum Rock Avenue. The Eastside Alum Rock corridor will provide a connection to the planned 28th Street Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station, the Alum Rock Light Rail Station, and the adjacent Alum Rock Transit Center on Capital Avenue. The City intends to have one consultant team support the Urban Village project. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the Consultant will partner with a local community-based organization (CBO) and partner or sub-Contract with other consulting firms to meet the requirements of each technical area.
