AI Summary
The City of Sacramento seeks proposals for a comprehensive reuse and revitalization plan for the Del Paso Heights Town Center and Marysville Boulevard corridor, addressing environmental, economic, and social challenges funded by an EPA Brownfield Grant.
The City of Sacramento’s Office of Innovation and Economic Development invites qualified firms to submit proposals for the development of a comprehensive Reuse and Revitalization Plan for the Del Paso Heights Town Center and surrounding Marysville Boulevard corridor area (the “Revitalization Plan”). This initiative is funded primarily by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfield Multipurpose Grant and aims to address environmental, economic, and social challenges in one of Sacramento’s most underinvested commercial corridors.--- Pre-Bid Meeting Information: Yes Online Q&A: Yes Location Information: Department: CMO -Innovation and Economic Development Address: Virtual meeting: https://cityofsacramento-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/_Yq_TYmtQ5mL7kvTDY1lrQ County: Sacramento Other Details: Del Paso Heights (DPH) is a diverse, established North Sacramento neighborhood with strong family andcommunity ties, committed institutional, religious, and nonprofit community, and strong community pride.Marysville Boulevard is the main commercial corridor serving DPH and was once an important gathering place for local residents. However, the construction of Highway 160 and Highway 80, the closure of McClellan Airforce Base, as well as lack of investment prior to and following North Sacramento’s annexation into the City in the 1950s and 60s signaled the beginning of the corridor’s decline. Overtime, Marysville Boulevard suffered from long-term public and private disinvestment, leading to pockets of vacancy, lack of employment centers, business closures, barriers to walkability, aging infrastructure, and no cohesive identity. These issues perpetuate cycles of poverty, socioeconomic, and quality of life issues for people who call this area home.The City and the community have worked together on several strategic initiatives to spur revitalization in the area. In 2015, the City partnered with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) to develop a community vision for renewal in DPH. The SDAT Plan identified redevelopment of the Marysville Boulevard and Grand Avenue intersection—known as the “Town Center”—as a catalyst for broader revitalization along the corridor. The vision calls for higher-density housing, community-serving retail, essential services, and expanded employment opportunities.In 2024, the City Council approved the Forward Together Action Plan. The Forward Together Action Plan is the culmination of a community planning process to prioritize and shape future commercial corridor investments on Marysville and Del Paso Boulevards while advancing environmental justice, anti-displacement, and inclusive economic growth. The North Sacramento Land Use and Historical Context Report, prepared as part of the Forward Together Action Plan, identified a number of challenges to revitalization along the Marysville and Del Paso Boulevard corridors. Irregular land use patterns, lot dimensions, and shapes of blocks created prior to annexation into the City of Sacramento have not historically conformed to existing zoning standards and discouraged development of projects that are not permitted as of right. Compounding the challenges and cost of developing in the area, the physical infrastructure is both aging and substandard. Despite City interventions in the last few decades, the need for infrastructure improvements still exists, particularly in the DPH portion of the Marysville Boulevard corridor. Additionally, large portions of land in the area were historically used for industrial as well as other uses requiring remediation and, as a result, present environmental challenges.Finally, there is a vast amount of vacant land in the area that requires a disposition strategy to bring necessary investment and amenities to the area.--- Special Notices: The Local Business Enterprise (LBE) participation requirement has been waived for this solicitation.
