BACKGROUND The City of Bozeman, with an incorporated population of 43,000, is one of the fastest growing micropolitan areas in the country. There are high rates of development in both infill and edge locations in the City, and outside of the City limits as well, and high rates of employment growth in both. Bozeman has a multi-county trade service area. It is the home of Montana State University and a major gateway to Yellowstone National Park. It is the fourth largest city in the state. Bozeman is served by Yellowstone International Airport which has the highest annual boardings in the state. As outlying communities also grow they are beginning to locally provide essential services and greater proportion of employment. The City first prepared a growth policy (comprehensive plan) in 1958 and has prepared five since then. It completed its current growth policy in 2009. A high rate of development, changing economic conditions with growth of the internet economy and local technology and other non-typical employment, and economic maturation of nearby satellite communities, make it necessary to update plans for the future growth of the community. The growth policy is actively and regularly used in evaluating and prioritizing City actions and land development proposals and regulations. The City has completed the work to identify the existing economic and demographic conditions and anticipated trends for the local economy. A corresponding estimate for land use needed for future growth has been prepared. The City’s first overall strategic plan is presently being finalized and is expected to be adopted in February. The strategic plan sets high level aspirations in six general areas including land and infrastructure development. The growth policy needs to be consistent with the aspirational goals in the strategic plan. A copy of the draft strategic plan and of the economic conditions and future land use need reports are available at www.bozeman.net\growth. The City maintains a detailed parcel fabric and many data sets through its robust GIS systems. City data will be made available to the consultant. City and County tax data is coordinated with the parcel fabric. 2. PROJECT LOCATION The project area is the City of Bozeman, MT and some immediately surrounding area. A tentative planning area has been identified and is included with this RFP as Attachment 4. The planning area is subject to change during the course of the project� 3. SCOPE OF SERVICES A. Growth Policy Contents The final work must meet the required contents of a growth policy outlined in Section 76-1-601, Montana Codes Annotated and those optional elements selected by the City. These are described in Attachment 5, discussed below. The City has adopted a commercial centers based land use map approach. It is expected to continue that approach. See Chapter 3 of the current Bozeman Community Plan available at https://www.bozeman.net/growth for details. See Chapter 3 also for the predominant themes guiding the current land use policy. Additional subarea plans, such as for the Downtown area, are also available. The current growth policy includes subjects not directly related to land development. The City anticipates an updated growth policy to be more tightly focused on issues of land use, community resilience, community expansion, and related policies; and to avoid duplicating non-land use issues addressed with the Strategic Plan or other planning efforts. City of BozemanProfessional Services to Prepare Comprehensive Plan Update Request for Proposal8 February 14, 2018 Reasonable and effective metrics to be able to track implementation and accomplishment of goals are desired. A clear linkage should be provided from identified desired outcomes, metrics to determine progress towards those outcomes, and alternatives for if those outcomes are not met. Consultant responsibilities, with assistance from City staff as described in Attachment 5, will specifically include: • Document assembly, • Public outreach, • Goal and objective development, • Future land use map and modeling alternative scenarios, • Implementation recommendations, • Criteria for development of subsequent neighborhood plans, • Proposed land use management techniques to encourage development within the planned infill and expansion areas, and • Metrics for measuring accomplishment of the desired outcomes� The City will provide existing economic and demographic conditions and anticipated trends for the local economy and a corresponding estimate for land use needed for the future. The City maintains a detailed parcel fabric and many data sets through its robust GIS systems. City data will be made available to the consultant. City and County tax data is coordinated with the parcel fabric. The City can also make available existing subarea plans, such as for the Downtown area, and current transportation, parks, water, economic development and other plans. It is anticipated that the Growth Policy will be a clear and concise document focusing on goals and objectives and the future land use map. Subject to further discussion with consultants, three supporting documents are anticipated: 1. Inventory and Projections Report 2� Infrastructure Plan Report 3. Implementation and Application Report. Alternate configurations of the documents can be proposed. City staff will work with the consultant to provide substantial elements of the text of the supporting documents. The consultant will be responsible for assembly, coordination, and final production of all documents, including the final draft of the Growth Policy prior to its adoption by the City Commission� The City hopes to use this process to establish a standardized document format for facility and other planning documents to be used in all City departments. Recommended document formats should be capable to addressing a wide range of issues� The consultant will assemble the final draft of the growth policy prior to final adoption by the City Commission. City of BozemanProfessional Services to Prepare Comprehensive Plan Update Request for Proposal 9February 14, 2018 An overall coordination of policy between the strategic plan, growth policy, and applicable infrastructure facility planning documents is an important outcome of this work. Substantial effort has already been made in identifying community priorities and relevant information. Available local resource documents will include but are not limited to: • 2018 City of Bozeman Strategic Plan • 2017 Transportation Plan • 2009 Bozeman Community Plan • 2009 Downtown Bozeman Improvement plan B. Reports, Meetings and Public Participation The City has a nine person Planning Board which will provide a structured forum for public input and provide high level advice to the City concerning the Growth Policy as it is developed. Primary contact by the consultants will be with City employees� The City of Bozeman is committed to meaningful public access to public processes and intends the work process to be transparent and understandable to participating parties. A broadly inclusive public engagement plan applicable to the subject matter with feedback to participants is a required element of the proposal. Effective tools to reach populations not typically engaged in such community efforts are required. The City expects that data and community feedback already obtained through the development of the strategic plan, transportation plan, and economic development plan will be incorporated as part of the public participation. The following meetings and draft documents in this Section 3.B are expected as part of this process. Additional meetings will be required to accomplish the work. The schedule for meetings will be developed in conjunction with the selected consultant. Multiple meetings may be held on a single date. Electronic attendance by the consultant at meetings may be proposed for meetings other than presentation of final drafts. 1� Introductory meeting with the Planning Board to discuss and describe the project methodology. 2� Presentation of initial findings to the Planning Board. 3� Presentation of draft reports to the Planning Board and City Commission. 4� Presentation of growth policy to the Planning Board 5� Presentation of growth policy to the City Commission Additional public outreach is anticipated to follow up on additional details and ensure that input is obtained from the full spectrum of the community� City of BozemanProfessional Services to Prepare Comprehensive Plan Update Request for Proposal10 February 14, 2018 4.
