Description

The City of South Portland is seeking technical consulting services for a Transportation Impact Fee Study. The selected consultant will establish growth assumptions, analyze current and future development under low-, medium-, and high-build-out scenarios, prioritize transportation improvements, estimate project costs, and develop at least two equitable and administrable impact fee schedule options compliant with Maine impact fee statutes and local ordinances. The study must consider all transportation modes, sustainable transportation and development practices, ADA standards, alternative compliance options, inflation adjustments, reporting mechanisms, capital investment planning, and comparable communities. The scope also includes developing a proposal for a public or public-private structured parking garage in the Mill Creek area, including recommended size, a pro forma, bond-financing and alternative or blended financing scenarios, and an analysis of whether the investment would generate a net positive fiscal benefit. The consultant will prepare a final study, draft transportation impact fee ordinance language, support public engagement, and participate in at least one City Council public hearing. The project budget is $125,000, work must begin no later than four weeks after contract execution, and completion is required within one year of the contract date.
