The Respondent’s proposal shall address each of the following tasks, with a separate cost and timeline for each identified task, using the same identifying language (e.g., Task 1) as used in the RFP. The successful Respondent will be responsible for assisting the City in meeting its obligations under the terms of its grant with the Department of State. The City’s Sign Ordinance (Chapter 272) is a stand-alone chapter of the City Code also in need of a revision to reflect current technology, new development trends, and different sign needs for different uses. This scope of work includes a rewriting of the Sign Ordinance to ensure the Sign Ordinance is consistent with the updated Zoning Ordinance. Please note, the City will consider alternative or limited approaches to each task on a case-by-case basis. In such instances, the Respondent will need to propose how the task will be accomplished by the selected Consultant team (the “Consultant”), the City, and/or other project partners in satisfaction of the City’s obligations to the Department of State as outlined in its grant contract and work plan. The final scope of work to be carried out by the Consultant will be negotiated in advance of contracting with the City. This scope of work is intended to be flexible and shall be refined to best meet project needs and goals. Upon completion of this scope of work, the City of Ithaca intends to repeal the existing Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 325) and adopt the new code in its entirety
