Explanation
§ The Strategic Mobility Plan, adopted by City Council on June 27, 2022, is centered on the goal of providing safe, connected, and equitable mobility. This Plan aligns the city’s mobility strategy with the Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
§ The city is seeking to award professional services on-call contracts to provide expert guidance, oversight, and support of strategic plan projects in three of the following areas:
- Owner advisor support,
- Program management support, and
- Program/project controls and risk management.
§ On February 14, 2025, the city issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ); 18 responses were received.
§ The companies selected best meet the city’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, and responsiveness to the RFQ requirements.
§ At renewal, potential price adjustments may be considered based on legitimate and justified increases in the cost of doing business. The ability to consider price adjustments also allows the city to accept decreases, if warranted.
§ Annual aggregate expenditures are estimated to be $2,350,000.
