Request for Qualification (RFQ) for Target Market Planning Next Consulting Services Various Scope Categories

Chicago’s Department of Planning and Development is establishing a pre‑qualified vendor pool for “Target Market Planning Next Program Consulting Services” across seven distinct scope categories, ranging from urban planning and design to graphic design, community engagement, historic preservation, climate‑resiliency, real‑estate financial analysis, and project management. Firms must be MBE/WBE certified, register in the city’s iSupplier portal, and submit a comprehensive qualification package by the August 21 deadline. The resulting Master Consulting Agreement will be a 60‑month contract (with one optional 36‑month extension) under which task orders will be issued for specific services. • Seven optional scope categories, each with specific NAICS codes (e.g., urban planning, historic preservation, climate resiliency, graphic design, community outreach). • Must meet City target‑market goals: minimum 25 % MBE and 5 % WBE participation; prime contractor must self‑perform ≥ 51 % of work. • No price evaluation; qualification based on technical capability, experience, staff credentials, and compliance with insurance and certification requirements.
