COF CODE OF ORDINANCES REVIEW AND UPDATE

The City of Fayetteville seeks a qualified contractor to conduct a full review and update of its municipal Code of Ordinances. The effort will encompass legal compliance analysis, plain‑language rewriting, re‑organization, and the creation of an administrative manual to support ongoing maintenance. The contractor must deliver phased reports, draft revisions, and final deliverables over a roughly one‑year schedule, coordinating closely with city staff and the City Attorney’s Office. • Perform a systematic inventory of all code sections, identifying outdated or conflicting provisions. • Conduct legal and policy analysis against North Carolina statutes and recent case law, flagging high‑risk items. • Rewrite ordinances in clear, accessible language (≈ 8th‑grade reading level) and reformat for better navigation and digital accessibility. • Provide redlined drafts, final clean copies, and an administrative manual detailing enforcement responsibilities and fee structures. • Hold at least five working sessions with city departments and monthly meetings with the City Attorney.
