Master Plan

Gratiot County-Countywide

The Gratiot Countywide Master Plan Steering Committee is soliciting proposals for a new master plan to be complete in 2023/2024.  Respondents must offer a proposal that will meet the scope of services, requests and general description of work activities identified in this Request for Proposals (RFP), while adding what the Respondent would have to offer to the master plan.  The full RFP is available here.

The Gratiot Countywide Master Plan includes all local jurisdictions within the County (16 townships, 3 villages, 3 cities, 1 county).  All 23 jurisdictions developed a shared Master Plan in 2012, which was updated in 2017 (plans available at gogrowgratiot.org).  The entities are seeking a new Master Plan due to new Census data, recent developments in the area, and new issues, including broadband access, increased collaboration opportunities, and the need for some entities to become Redevelopment Ready certified.

Each jurisdiction has the option of contracting with the Consultant to provide more in-depth discussion for their area, which is included in the Countywide Master Plan as an addendum.  This would include identifying priority redevelopment sites, a Capital Improvements Plan, and a Downtown Plan.  Please include costs associated with these components as separate from the cost of the Countywide Master Plan in the proposal.  Individual jurisdictions will then decide if they will opt to pay for this additional work.

Full RFP, addendums, and clarifications will be posted on gogrowgratiot.org.  Proposals are due no later than April 24, 2023 by 2:00 pm.
