IL Route 59 Corridor Plan – Phase I / Request for Proposals

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The City of Warrenville (the “City”) intends to partner with a qualified consultant(s) (the

“Consultant”) to develop and adopt a corridor plan (the “Project”) for the IL Route 59 corridor (the

“Corridor”) that includes:

• An updated land use designation map for properties throughout the Corridor, building on

the new development pattern established from the 2016 Southwest Corridor Plan and

current and anticipated market conditions;

• Streetscape, signage, and building design regulations to create a uniform sense of place

throughout the Corridor;

• Marketing packages for up to four key development sites throughout the Corridor, including

City-owned properties. While the Corridor Plan shall address the Corridor as a whole, the

City anticipates that City-owned properties will serve as priority focus areas for

implementation strategies, marketing materials, and near-term catalytic redevelopment.

A more detailed summary of the City’s goals for this Project is found on Exhibit A.

The consensus of appointed and elected officials indicated that the scope of work should include

all properties along Route 59 south of, and including the intersection of Batavia Road and Route

59, with a specific focus on City-owned sites (meeting video and meeting minutes).

Implementing this Project should be consistent with important City plans and policy documents,

including the Southwest District Plan, Strategic Plan, and Housing Action Plan.

A workgroup will be assembled to provide preliminary feedback to the Consultant. The workgroup

is anticipated to include representatives from City staff, the Plan Commission, the City Council,

and affected property owners. The workgroup is solely an advisory group and has no decision-

making responsibilities.

The City intends to implement this Project in three phases:

Phase I - Request for Proposals from Interested Consultants (RFP) Process: This phase

will culminate with the City Council designating the City’s Preferred Project Consultant(s) (the

“PPC”).

Phase II - Consultant Scope of Work and Professional Services Agreement Preparation:

In this phase, the Workgroup and City staff will collaborate with the PPC to refine and finalize

the scope of work and timeline that will allow the City to accomplish its most important project

goals in an efficient, strategic, and cost-effective manner. This phase will culminate in the City

Council’s approval of a professional services agreement with the PPC and a final scope of work

for the Project.

Phase III - Development and Adoption of IL Route 59 Corridor Plan: In this phase, the PPC

will lead an open, informative, and efficient planning process that will culminate in the City’s

adoption of the IL Route 59 Corridor Plan that achieves the City’s Project Goals.

Exhibit B summarizes the City’s preliminary schedule for completing this Project.

PHASE I (current RFP phase)

At this time, the City is seeking submittals from consultants with extensive experience facilitating

efficient and effective public planning processes, creating guidelines and/or regulations that will

marketing materials for key City-owned development sites (see Exhibit A for a full list of Project

goals).

The ideal Consultant will have expertise in the development and administration of corridor plans

that are clear, intuitive, understandable, and can be efficiently administered. All Consultants are

expected to understand the City’s Project Budget Expectations detailed in Exhibit C. Consultant
