The Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (Organization) is soliciting proposals from qualified Offerors to establish a contract for multidisciplinary planning services to support the Hampton Roads Region – Portsmouth and Chesapeake Joint Land Use Study (JLUS). The Hampton Roads Region – Portsmouth and Chesapeake JLUS will include several Navy installations in Portsmouth and Chesapeake: Naval Support Activity (NSA) Hampton Roads – Portsmouth Annex (Naval Medical Center Portsmouth; Naval Station Norfolk – Navy Supply Center (NSC) Craney Island Fuel Terminal; Norfolk Naval Shipyard; and Norfolk Naval Shipyard associated facilities, including Public-Private Housing Areas (The Village at New Gosport and Stanley Court, Scott Center Annex, and South Gate Piers, and St. Julien's Creek Annex.

The JLUS will be a community-driven, cooperative, strategic planning process among the Cities of Portsmouth and Chesapeake, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the seven (7) Navy facilities. The goal of the JLUS is to encourage local governments, together with the Commonwealth, to work closely with the military installations to implement measures that prevent the introduction of incompatible civilian development that may impair the continued operational utility of the military installation, and to preserve and protect the public health, safety, and welfare of those living near an active military installation. Navy facilities in the Portsmouth area face several encroachments and other impacts from the surrounding area, including congestion and other transportation issues (including existing and planned capital improvements, facility access, gate security, and rail operations), land use, noise, dust, and residential and commercial construction impacts. In addition, the Hampton Roads area is susceptible to frequent nuisance and storm flooding, which negatively impacts military operations by obstructing access and damaging local infrastructure on which military facilities rely. This JLUS will focus on identifying specific conditions, including congestion, incompatible land uses, recurrent flooding, coastal storms, and erosion, within the military operations footprint that have the potential to adversely impact Navy operations in Hampton Roads.

It is anticipated that the Organization will award one (1) contract for a period of performance of nineteen (19) months.
