General Plan RFP

The City of Tracy’s Community & Economic Development Department (City) requests proposals from qualified professional firms (“Consultant” or “Proposer”) to prepare a General Plan for the 2025-2050 planning horizon, along with an update to the Zoning Code.

This General Plan Update (Project) will require a broad-based public engagement approach to drive community participation. The Project and Consultant will be supported by City staff, in addition to a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and a General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC).

To accomplish this General Plan Update, the selected Consultant will design and implement a broad-based, topic-driven public engagement plan that creatively and inclusively involves the community. This approach shall draw upon topic-area experts and existing City Commissions to provide technical insight to inform the process, with City Council direction at key milestones. This engagement plan will inform the General Plan Update contents.

Additionally, the Consultant(s) will complete comprehensive updates to Title 10 of the Tracy Municipal Code (Zoning Code), conduct all necessary environmental analyses, prepare a Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR), background studies, technical documents, public notices, and related deliverables and filings to support the General Plan Update. The City anticipates completing the update within a four-year period.

The City expects proposals from either a single firm with comprehensive capabilities or a multidisciplinary team. Proposals should include cost-effective strategies, leverage City resources where appropriate, and clearly outline which tasks will involve City staff participation.
