CMAP seeks qualified consultant or consultant team to produce a Master Plan for the Illinois International Port District (IIPD) that addresses the terms and requirements defined in this Request for Proposals (RFP). Qualified respondents will demonstrate the capacity, expertise, and experience to thoroughly address a broad set of topics and issues in and around the Port's holdings and facilities.

In order to maximize its current and long-run performance, IIPD seeks to create a master plan that will define and chart a path to its future. This plan should provide the IIPD and its stakeholders, including the surrounding communities, with a clear vision of how the Port should develop and change between now and 2050. It should consider the IIPD's position within local, regional, state, national, and international contexts, with special attention to how IIPD can respond to macro trends. It should also reinforce broader but related planning goals, such as those of the City of Chicago, Calumet communities, Chicago region, and State. Thus, while the lands at Lake Calumet and Iroquois Landing are the primary subject of the master plan, planning factors beyond the IIPD's boundaries that will influence and be influenced by the IIPD's activities must also be considered.
