Due Date: February 20, 2015
The Town of Babylon hereby requests proposals from highly creative and qualified professional architectural/planning/urban design consultants for the preparation of a specific community driven and market responsive Preliminary Site Plan, Regulating Plan, and Form-Based Code to allow for the development of the East Farmingdale Downtown Center in the unincorporated hamlet of East Farmingdale within the Town of Babylon. This work is being performed in conjunction with the Cleaner, Greener Communities (“CGC”) Program and is funded through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (“NYSERDA”). Note that the work may be supplemented by funds from Empire State Development (“ESD”) as part of a separate grant to the Town for East Farmingdale. Town intends to utilize a form-based code as a tool for recreating a rich and vibrant commercial node and corridor—linking neighborhoods, rebuilding the public realm, and creating a more predictable process and certain outcome for both the Town and future developers. It is hoped that the creation of a preliminary site plan and form-based code will facilitate the creation of transit-centered, mixed-use development around a reopened Republic Station linked to a regional BRT, and that such development will attract businesses that are economically viable and sustainable, while also helping to enhance the quality of life for the residents of East Farmingdale.
All proposals, whether mailed or hand delivered, must be delivered to:
