Plan Lubbock 2040, the City's Comprehensive Plan, was adopted by the City Council in December 2018. This plan contains a framework of goals, actions, and timeframes for the City of Lubbock to implement, in order to support the vision expressed in the document. One of the implementation goals was to formally initiate a Lubbock Neighborhood Planning Program. In April 2022, upon recommendation from the Neighborhood Planning Committee, the City Council approved Dunbar-Manhattan Heights (District 2) and Jackson-Mahon (District 1) neighborhoods, to be the first 2 neighborhoods to receive a Neighborhood Plan. The Planning Department composed a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), which outlined the City of Lubbock's expectations for communication, scope of work, and project approach. RFQ 22-16614-MA was published on May 17, 2022 with a deadline for submissions on June 10, 2022. The following submittals were received and reviewed on June 17, 2022. The proposals were evaluated using the following criteria: 30 Points for Project Team Organization and Qualifications, 30 Points for Experience on Similar Projects, 30 Points for Project Approach, 10 Points for Overall Responsiveness to the RFQ, and a Pass/Fail for the Required Documents Submitted. The maximum point value is 100 points per evaluator. After the proposals were evaluated by a 3-person committee, the following ranking was obtained.
