Consideration, discussion and possible approval to retain Design Workshop as consultants for the Downtown Master Plan and approve Budget Amendment No. 23
End
Background:
In accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan, the Community Development Department is launching the master planning process for Downtown Broken Arrow. This initiative builds upon the foundation of the inaugural 2005 downtown plan, which successfully catalyzed the creation of the Rose District. This new plan will serve as a strategic roadmap for the next chapter of downtown growth and revitalization.
The new Downtown Master Plan will encompass a study area of over two square miles along the Main Street corridor. Following a formal Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Community Development Department, the City received twelve (12) professional proposals. After interviewing five finalists, the selection committee recommended Design Workshop, supported by Kimley-Horn and ADG Blatt, based on their specialized expertise in urban design and infrastructure.
The planning process is estimated to take 12 months, with a projected start date in March 2026. To ensure the vision aligns with community needs, the City Council has appointed a Citizens Advisory Committee to provide oversight alongside city staff and the consulting team. The total professional service cost for this master plan is not expected to exceed $185,000. The funding source for this initiative is the Sales Tax Capital Improvement (STCI) fund. In fiscal Year 2026, $150,000 (Project #2614010) has been approved. Budget amendment No. 23 is a request for an additional $35,000 to fulfill the funding needs of this initiative.
