Project Description

Bid Number:	RFP2M25-25
Bid Title:	RFP2M25-25 Property-Based Business Improvement District Formation Consultant Services
Category:	Request For Proposals
Status:	Open

Description: Request for Proposals No. RFP2M25-25 Property-Based Business Improvement District Formation Consultant Services The City of Alhambra is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to evaluate the feasibility of forming and supporting a Property and Business Improvement District (PBID) or a Business Improvement District (BID) in Downtown Alhambra. The Downtown Alhambra Business Association (DABA) was established in 1970s to revitalize the downtown corridor and promote the common interests of Downtown businesses. DABA currently has an annual operating budget of around $85,000 solely reliant on PBIA revenue and focuses primarily on events and marketing. However, the needs in the downtown have grown over the years and engagement with DABA as well as other important local stakeholders has showcased a need for potentially increasing assessment amount. The purpose of exploring the creation of a PBID/BID is to empower local property owners, businesses, and stakeholders to take an active role in identifying specific needs, determining how funds are spent, and to promote long-term economic vitality. A PBID/BID in Alhambra could help augment services such as public safety, maintenance, marketing, and promotional events. The selected consultant will lead a phased process involving technical analysis, stakeholder outreach, strategic planning, and legal guidance, in accordance with California’s Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994. The City anticipates a three-phase process: Phase I – Feasibility Analysis Phase II – Community Outreach, Education, and Research Phase III – PBID/BID Creation and Establishment The City may select all or portions of these phases depending on the findings of the Feasibility Analysis and project needs. If the outcome of the Feasibility Analysis recommends that the City continue pursuing a PBID/BID, the consultant will take a strong the lead on the required steps such as stakeholder engagement, preparing draft legal documents (including management district plan and assessment diagrams, notices of protest and hearing procedures, and resolutions of intention and establishment), and City Council presentations and hearing procedures. Anticipated Schedule The anticipated timeline for evaluating and selecting proposals is identified below. The City reserves the right to modify the schedule, as needed.
