The City of Rome Georgia and Floyd County Georgia are requesting proposals from qualified firms to provide an update and modernization of the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) that is currently in use by both government entities. The City of Rome and Floyd County Government are separate agencies that have separate wants and needs, as well as, similar needs. The Rome/Floyd County Planning Department serves as the administrative agency for both governments. The current ULDC document was originally adopted in 2001. This document changed some of the City of Rome's then existing zoning and land use regulations, while establishing first time ever zoning in Floyd County.

The current document has proven to be challenging at times due to there being separate requirements for the City and County. It is desired that the ULDC document be upgraded with a different strategy that would allow more growth. It is the intention of the two governments that the successful firm provide a finished document that is unique to each government operation and will be in the best interest of each of the two local governments. The City and County intends that the successful firm be awarded a contract with a predetermined timeframe for completion.

Interested parties may receive a copy of the proposal package by logging on to the City of Rome Georgia Website at www.romefloyd.com or by contacting the City of Rome Purchasing. All questions must be provided via email to Becky Smyth, bsmyth@romega.us. All questions and answers will be posted as addendum on the City/County Website and the State of Georgia Procurement website. It is the responsibility of interested parties to visit one of the sites regularly during the proposal process to insure receipt of any additional information that may be made available.

Proposals shall be received until 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 25, 2021 in the City of Rome Purchasing Department where all Proposals will be publicly opened and acknowledged.
