Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City Planning Department is responsible for long-range planning throughout the City, which includes updating and amending community plans and development regulations to help address the City’s housing, equity, climate, public spaces, conservation, and heritage preservation goals. The consultant’s services will support the Department’s work program initiatives being conducted by each division. However, it is anticipated that the Environmental Policy & Public Spaces Division will primarily use the consultant services. To conduct historic and cultural resource planning work more efficiently in support of the Department’s initiatives, the consultant will be on-call and be used on an as-needed basis. The planning consultant will collaborate with City staff on an as-needed basis in the area of historical and cultural resource planning, which may also require elements of architectural design, graphic design, geographic information systems (GIS), meeting facilitation, outreach and engagement, and environmental analysis expertise. Services will include preparation of historic context statements; collection of oral histories; preparation of historic resource surveys; preparation of historic district nominations; preparation of Multiple Property Listings (MPLs); and preparation of objective architectural design standards. The team must meet the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards in areas relevant to the scope of work and should include subconsultants, as needed, to address all the aspects of the project scope.
