PIDC, on behalf of PAID, seeks a consulting firm to provide planning services for the Lower Schuylkill Innovation Campus (LSIC). These services are to include the following:

An Economic Analysis to help determine appropriate advanced manufacturing uses for the LSIC. The analysis will include comparisons of economic, fiscal, and jobs impacts, and will conclude with identification of the highest and best use of the LSIC based on quality jobs, alignment with the Lower Schuylkill Master Plan's identification of this area for innovative uses, and overall impact on the city's economy.

An Infrastructure Gap Analysis to understand the infrastructure needed to support the preferred uses identified in the Economic Analysis. This study will focus on identifying existing utilities and evaluating their ability to support the proposed land use by updating information from a 2019 report by Kimley-Horn.

A Preliminary Site Plan that will be developed by compiling and consolidating existing available survey information for the LSIC. It should include guidance related to maximum and minimum building footprints for the recommended uses.
