Pre-approved Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Construction Documents

The City of Boise is seeking a project architect or designer to produce a catalog of plan sets for construction that are responsive to different Boise contexts. The plan sets should be pre-approved ADU construction documents that can be used by applicants to design and permit Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) across various neighborhood contexts. The project team will consist of City Planning and Building Division staff and the selected architect or designer. The total project budget is $70,000, and the project timeline is expected to last approximately 6 months. The proposal should include a cost proposal, and the City will negotiate with the best-qualified designer to develop a Professional Services Agreement Contract. • The project aims to support neighborhood infill and local economic opportunities by providing pre-approved ADU plans and permit documents to applicants. • The plan sets should be designed to be cost-effective, site-adaptable, and constructible, with a focus on reducing construction waste and operating costs. • The project team will work together to identify example sites and design standards, and the initial phase of the project will be critical in defining the desired outcomes of the standard ADU designs. • The City seeks to assemble a project team that can produce a minimum of 4 plan sets, with the possibility of maximizing the number of plan sets achievable within the time and budget allocated.
