City Council Approves Contract Renewal for Urban Planning Services

Cleveland City Council has passed an emergency ordinance to extend professional planning services for the city, allowing the Director of City Planning to exercise a second renewal option for Contract No. PS 2024-0030. This move, identified as Ord. No. 609-2026, ensures that the city can continue working with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., Seventh Hill, and Regency Construction to support various neighborhood and infrastructure projects.

According to the 609-2026-Legislative Summary-CT 2024-0030 second renewal, the Department of City Planning requested authorization to add $200,000.00 to the existing contract, with funds earmarked in the 2026 budget. This contract supports a wide range of civic work, including transportation planning, small area land use plans, urban design, and graphic communications. Past tasks completed under this agreement include the East 55th Safety Study, the Payne Avenue Striping Plan, and the East 22nd Public Art Project. Future anticipated services involve building massing studies, transit-oriented development research, and continued small area planning. This renewal follows previous authorizations found in Ordinance 1200-2023 and Ordinance 1167-2024.

The ordinance has officially passed. Residents can watch for future updates on specific neighborhood projects and planning studies as these on-call services are deployed across the city.
