This document outlines the scope of work for a consultant hired by the Bellingham Public Development Authority (BPDA) in Bellingham, Washington. The consultant is tasked with assisting the BPDA in developing a comprehensive strategic plan for the management and development of city-owned properties. The document describes the various tasks that the consultant is expected to undertake. In Phase 1, the consultant is required to review the conditions for each of the three priority areas and provide more specific descriptions of the conditions applicable to the initial properties. They are also responsible for gathering input from stakeholder groups and other entities, such as the Board of Directors of the BPDA, the Bellingham Parking Commission, the Port of Bellingham, Western Washington University, and potentially affected private property owners. The consultant will prepare a written summary of the relevant information obtained from this input for each of the three priority areas. In Phase 2, the consultant is required to conduct a literature review of documents related to the redevelopment prospects of other city-owned properties. They will also prepare a draft multi-year comprehensive strategic plan, which includes identifying, evaluating, and ranking specific BPDA development and management priorities using evaluation criteria adopted by the Board. The plan should discuss public and private investment needs, basic marketing strategies for redevelopment, and include a draft business plan illustrating how the BPDA can attain self-sustainability within five years. Additionally, the consultant may be asked to develop draft business plans for each of the initial properties, including a schedule and comprehensive pro forma development budget for the most realistic redevelopment scenario identified in Phase 1. The document also mentions the deliverables expected from the consultant, including regulatory and policy conditions summaries, a general summary of stakeholder input, draft evaluation criteria, a draft strategic plan, and optional draft business plans for the initial properties. The estimated project schedule indicates that the selection of a firm will take place in late June 2009, and Phase 1 is expected to be completed within 90 days of the initiation of the contract. The schedule for Phase 2 is yet to be determined. Overall, the document provides an overview of the tasks, deliverables, and timeline for the consultant hired by the BPDA to develop a comprehensive strategic plan for the management and development of city-owned properties.
