SPECIAL ALERT: HURRICAINE KATRINA RELIEF EFFORT

This proposal has been postponed indefinitely. // On behalf of St. Tammany, Washington, Tangipahoa, and St. Helena Parishes in Louisiana (hereafter the "Northshore"), Center for Planning Excellence (CPEX) is soliciting proposals from professional planning Consultants to create a Regional Transportation Prioritization Plan. Background/ The Northshore experienced destruction and rapid population growth after hurricane Katrina in 2005. This growth burdened the Northshore's housing market and roadways. Suburban sprawl increased dramatically in outlying areas that are without proper transportation networks, and the region is currently seeking direction on how to manage the needs of the current population and to ensure positive growth in the future. The Northshore Community Foundation (hereafter the "Foundation") recently held meetings with representatives from the parishes including local planners, stakeholders, and government officials to discuss the area's planning needs. These discussions identified a need for a regional transportation plan that draws from the existing Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP) and Louisiana Speaks Regional Plan, makes policy recommendations, creates a prioritized transportation project list, identifies constraints and opportunities, includes an implementation and funding strategy, builds consensus within the region, and addresses the Northshore as an integrated and interdependent system connected to Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The plan will work in tandem with the existing TIPs, the State TIP, and the Louisiana Speaks Regional Plan, but will be a more detailed outline of how the Northshore should move forward in providing sustainable transportation networks for its current and future population. The plan shall support the Louisiana Speaks Regional Vision that is available on the website (www.louisianaspeaks.org). Desired Timeframe for Completion: Nine (9) to twelve (12) months from start date. Consultant Qualifications CPEX is soliciting a Request for Qualifications for teams who can demonstrate through past projects their expertise and skills in the following areas: Regional transportation plans Effective public process and consensus building Demonstrated successful implementation of regional transportation plans Past successful public policy recommendations Land use planning that support smart/quality growth principles Submission Requirements Planning teams should submit 10 copies of a thoughtful, clear and well-organized qualification package that includes the following components: 1-3 page statement of qualifications (summarizing the particular advantages of the team for this RFQ, familiarity with Louisiana, team approach and understanding of the intent of this RFQ and list of enclosed materials) 1 page statement indicating specific experience regarding development of transportation prioritization plans, and the consultant teams' core beliefs in applying smart growth principals to a project such as this plan. Key team member resumes/qualifications Team organizational chart Relevant/comparable transportation projects At least 3 references that can speak on behalf of comparable projects Deadline for Qualification Submissions Qualification packets should be received no later than Friday, August 24, 2007 by 4:00 p.m. CST. Packages should be mailed to: Center for Planning Excellence, Attn: Camille Manning-Broome, Principal Planner, 402 N. Fourth Street, Baton Rouge, LA 70802. CPEX will not accept any proposals that are delivered by facsimile or electronic mail (e-mail). Late proposals will be returned to the respondent. CPEX reserves the right to accept or reject proposals that do not contain all elements and information requested in this document. Budget The Northshore Community Foundation currently has $300,000.00 for this plan. Point-of-Contact Respondents shall restrict all contact and questions regarding this RFQ and selection process to the individual named herein. Questions concerning terms, conditions and technical specifications shall be directed in writing to: Center for Planning Excellence, Attn: Camille Manning-Broome, Principal Planner, 402 N. Fourth Street, Baton Rouge, LA 70802 OR via email at camille.mbroome@c-pex.org. Respondents and their agents are strictly prohibited from lobbying officials in the four parishes, the Northshore Community Foundation and its board, CPEX staff and CPEX board members at any time in the application and selection process.
