DESCRIPTION


The City of Fort Myers, Florida, seeks a qualified vendor to provide land development code update services. The resulting Land Development Code must implement the City's recently updated Comprehensive Plan, reflect contemporary planning and development practices, comply with applicable law, and improve predictability and ease of administration.

The work will include project initiation and management, including a kickoff meeting covering objectives, governance, roles, decision protocols, communications, schedules, review procedures, deliverable standards, and public engagement. Within two weeks of the kickoff, the selected vendor must submit a detailed project management plan addressing the work breakdown, task sequence, milestones, City review periods, meeting schedule, staffing, quality control, dependencies, and deliverable schedule. The vendor will also maintain project documentation, including request, issue, decision, and risk logs and an updated schedule.

The vendor will assess existing conditions and the current code, reviewing relevant model and comparable municipal codes, application and variance patterns, waiver and deviation requests, appeals, code interpretations, and representative project histories where records are available. The assessment must specifically address regulatory barriers affecting developed sites, infill parcels, adaptive reuse, building rehabilitation, expansions, changes of use, mixed-use conversions, and phased redevelopment. The contract period will be one year. Questions are due by October 23, 2026, and a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 16, 2026.
