The City of Powell is inviting experienced and qualified firms to submit their qualifications to provide comprehensive planning services, including a Facility Condition Assessment, Facility Needs Assessment, and the resulting Facility Master Plan and Strategy for their City Hall, Police Department, and Public Service/Parks complex of buildings. The objective of this plan is to assess the current conditions and future needs of its key municipal facilities to develop a comprehensive strategy for maintenance, upgrades, and expansions and/or new construction. In recent years, the City of Powell has recognized the pressing need for the renovation and expansion of its municipal facilities, including City Hall, the Police Department, and the Public Services building. These critical structures, which have served the community for decades, are now facing issues of age-related deterioration and are increasingly inadequate to support the growing scope of services required by a burgeoning population. The existing facilities struggle to meet current operational demands and lack the necessary space and modern amenities to function efficiently. This has highlighted the urgency for comprehensive assessments and strategic planning to ensure that these buildings can support Powell’s future needs. By addressing these infrastructure challenges, the city aims to enhance service delivery, ensure public safety, and foster a more effective and responsive government. The City of Powell will receive qualification submission packages from experienced planning firms for the development of a Facilities Master Plan and related existing conditions and needs assessment to plan for the future of its City Hall, Police Department, and Public Service Buildings.  Qualification submissions are due in the office of Grant Crawford, Director of Public Service, 47 Hall Street, Powell, OH 43065 by 5:00 PM on July 2, 2024. A walkthrough of all facilities is scheduled for June 17, 2024 at 9:00 am beginning at City Hall.
