10217 - Designed to 2030 - Pre-Approved High Performance Plans

The City of Fort Collins is requesting proposals from qualified Professionals to support the Designed to 2030 Pre-Approved Plans program. The project supports City goals to accelerate electrification, increase housing affordability, and streamline the permitting process. The intent is to provide home builders with pre-approved stock plans in an effort to reduce costs/time in designing homes and streamline the development and plan review process for someone building to these plans, while also incentivizing above energy code performance of new homes. The consultant will lead development of a program that will establish the criteria and processes for designers to submit plans for pre-approval, lead a pilot where selected designers will be provided no cost services to provide engineering services (e.g. HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical) paid for by the City to be used in the Pre-Approved Plans Process and deliver of a portfolio of 3–5 plan sets (including at least one ADU-compliant plan) that are pre-approved by the City.
