INTRODUCTION The Bellevue Urban Renewal Agency (BURA), in coordination with the City of Bellevue, Idaho, is soliciting proposals from qualified planning and design professionals to lead a public planning process and produce conceptual plans to repurpose and reimagine city-owned rights-of-way and properties east of Main Street between Chestnut and Spruce Streets. The selected consultant will also develop design strategies to integrate this corridor with the adjacent Howard Preserve. This project will help shape a long-term vision for placemaking, economic development, and walkable connectivity in Bellevue’s historic downtown core and surrounding riverfront. II. PROJECT CONTEXT The planning area includes a series of underutilized public rights-of-way and City-owned property between Main Street and the Big Wood River within the original townsite of Bellevue, specifically from Chestnut Street to Spruce Street. These spaces currently serve a mix of light service and emergency access, snow storage, and parking but have strong potential to become activated public spaces, green corridors, improved parking or sites for incremental infill development. The eastern edge of the planning area is bounded by the Howard Preserve, a natural park surrounding the Big Wood River, offering an opportunity to connect downtown Bellevue more meaningfully to its natural assets through trails, habitat features, or public access points. III. SCOPE OF WORK The Bellevue Urban Renewal Agency (BURA), in close coordination with the City of Bellevue, is seeking the services of an interdisciplinary team of planners and landscape architects to develop a master plan and specific improvement plan(s) for underutilized rights-of-way and City-owned property within the project area. 1. Project Coordination and Community Engagement  Develop a project work plan with schedule, milestones, and deliverables.   Facilitate regular coordination/check-in meetings with City staff, BURA Board and the Bellevue Common Council.  Conduct inclusive community outreach through at least two public meetings, stakeholder interviews, and/or pop-up events.  Prepare outreach materials, including maps, graphics, and engagement summaries. 2. Existing Conditions and Site Analysis  Assess physical characteristics of the rights-of-way and alley segments, including surface conditions, utilities, access, and adjacent land uses.  Map and evaluate adjacencies including land use, ownership, and access to the Howard Preserve. 3. Conceptual Design and Scenario Planning  Develop a conceptual plan and preferred site developments for the underutilized rights of way uses such as: o Public gathering spaces or pocket parks o Redevelopment o Consolidated parking o Pop-up vendor areas or food truck nodes  Propose strategies for safe, attractive pedestrian and visual connections to the Big Wood River.  Identify improvements needed to ensure the continued use of the alley for service and emergency access. 4. Implementation Strategy  Prioritize improvements with phasing recommendations.  Provide cost estimates and potential funding strategies (e.g., urban renewal, grants, public- private partnerships).  Recommend any zoning, policy, or procedural changes needed to implement the vision and leverage the public investment to return improved property values and encourage private development to fulfill community needs. 5. Deliverables  Project schedule and public engagement plan  Existing conditions memo with maps and visuals   Concept plans and illustrative renderings  Implementation matrix with cost ranges and priorities  Final summary report and public presentation IV.
