MassDevelopment is seeking proposals from a qualified consultant or team of consultants (led by a primary consultant) to provide professional services supporting the development of CAMP JBCC. The Master Plan will build on previous planning efforts, including the 2013 JBCC Master Coordination Plan, and will be developed in coordination with the TAG, Massachusetts Military Asset and Security Strategy Task Force (MASS-TF), host communities, and other stakeholders. The overall goal of this master planning process is to support JBCC’s efforts to optimize the use of this critical state asset and increase its organizational efficiency, especially as it relates to land use and infrastructure, while enabling and protecting current missions and accommodating future on-base military needs. In addition, the master plan seeks to effectively facilitate the adaptive reuse of any excess property in the cantonment area to respond to local and regional needs and contexts. It is expected that this plan will focus on implementation with specific near-term and long-term actions in conjunction with the on-base military commands’ existing plans for efficiency and mission effectiveness. The objectives of the Master Plan are to: Create a combined and coordinated military and civilian land use and building plan (with narratives and maps) by: o Identifying the military commands’ current and future spatial needs and desires with an update of their spatial needs analysis and identification of excess assets; o Determining the available area for future non-military use and the timing of such availability; o Identifying potential land uses, densities, and styles/typologies for these areas, including residential, commercial, open space/recreation; and the necessary infrastructure (e.g., utility, transportation) to enable and support these uses; o Conducting market/economic and fiscal impact studies, including analysis of income-restricted housing, public benefits, and market/economic impacts; o Developing an entitlement/permitting framework in cooperation with project partners and in furtherance of short- and long-term governance; Prepare a coordination plan for current and future military and non-military uses, such as the creation, transfer, or termination of leases, permits, and/or licenses; and for regulatory boundaries between military and non-military uses, other areas retained for general public/municipal uses, and governance; and Develop an implementation plan that considers phasing and specifies the steps and timing of redevelopment and the necessary capital improvements, with consideration of anticipated impacts of climate change.
