Request for Proposal (Renewal for Gateway Neighborhood Plan)

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL GATEWAY NEIGHBORHOOD COLLABORATIVE Perth Amboy - New Jersey

 

PROJECT OBJECTIVE

P.A.R.T.N.E.R. is seeking proposals from qualified individuals, firms, and teams (with demonstrated experience) to apply for the renewal grant for the Gateway Neighborhood Collaborative (GNC), with an emphasis on group facilitation and outreach to the Wells Fargo Regional Foundation for the next 5 years.  June 2020-June 2025


PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Gateway Neighborhood has been classified as a low-income urban community by the State of New Jersey Opportunity Zone in early 2019. The first step is to reevaluate our position in the neighborhood to develop and adopt a renewal plan that intends to continue the revitalization and neighborhood building within the Gateway. A recommendation from the Gateway Neighborhood Collaborative (GNC) is the development of a renewal plan through the analysis of the current GNC implementation plan. It is our expectation that through a comprehensive planning effort, the Gateway Neighborhood will continue to drive smart and appropriate economic growth in its commercial areas, while maintaining residential living through its neighborhood and city assets.
The current GNC plan will establish guiding principles and standards for development and expansion of commercial and residential services and amenities in this mixed-use environment. A renewal plan will guide the strategic deployment of projects as a catalyst to private investment in the community.

This is a unique opportunity to combine the projects under one logical process wherein the selected Consultant can capitalize on efficiencies and holistic visioning and concept development that reflects not only the standards for the Gateway Neighborhood but a funding mechanism to support its realization.   P.A.R.T.N.E.R. is seeking a Consultant that can bring a thoughtful approach to this opportunity and maximize the utility of the available funds to this end.
