The City of Piqua, Ohio (“City”), population 20,940, is seeking proposals from qualified planning consultants or firms to enter into a contract for the update / replacement of the city’s Comprehensive Plan. The current plan, titled Plan It Piqua, was adopted in 2007 and serves as the primary long-range planning guidance document for the City.
Since Plan It Piqua was adopted in 2007, the City has experienced population stability with little growth pressures. During that time the city has updated its Development Code in
2023 (Ordinance O-2-23) and identified key priorities including future land uses, accommodating population growth through expanded housing opportunities, attracting new residential and commercial development projects, and downtown revitalization.
In 2025, the City Administration determined that an update / replacement to the current Comprehensive Plan was necessary due to the projected development in and around Piqua. This plan should provide an overall vision for the city’s growth and development through 2040.
This project will result in a comprehensive update that is essentially a new plan, building on the 2007 foundation while aligning with the recently updated Development Code and
addressing current and future needs. The new plan will establish policies for land use, infrastructure, economic development, and community facilities, among other important components.
Through this RFQ, the City seeks to select a consultant that will provide an implementable and action-oriented plan and who will work with sta to have a robust and informative public process as part of the development of that plan.
The project is anticipated to commence in Spring 2026, with substantial completion by December 2027, an eighteen (18) month timeline. The total budget for consulting services
is allocated across the 2026 and 2027 budget years. The contract structure should allow for phased payments over that time period.
