The City of Merriam, KS, seeks consulting services to prepare a comprehensive land use plan by utilizing the city’s existing plan as the beginning point (“Project”). The new, updated plan will provide vision, goals, objectives, and policies to guide the city’s development and redevelopment for the next 20 years. The plan will guide the city council, various advisory boards, planning commission, staff, developers, property owners, and residents on the appropriate growth and redevelopment for Merriam.

The updated plan will integrate all aspects of urban development including demographics, land use recommendations, public facilities, transportation, environmental, and trends. A critical component of the plan will be setting the vision for the city’s development and redevelopment. The vision component will need to analyze how technology is changing land use planning. A key component of the plan will be an analysis of the impact that disruptive technologies (ride sharing, short term residential rentals, driverless vehicles, electric scooters and bicycles, etc.) will have on land uses in Merriam.

Proposals are due at Merriam City Hall at 2 p.m. Central Time on February 4, 2019.
