Final work product must be finalized and delivered by December 31, 2022. This is a negotiable deadline, but important to begin dependent projects.

Scope of Services:
The Town of Onancock is interested in actionable plans and product specifications in the following areas:

• Lighting Plan
  • The Comprehensive Plan requires the Town to move toward becoming Dark Sky Compliant.
    • The actionable plan for lighting would create a town-wide lighting plan, varying lumens for use and location, and provide product specifications for street lighting that aligns with the character of each neighborhood and continuity throughout Town.
• Signage
  • The professional selected for this project would work with Town Council, and the design firm that created the new Town Logo, to develop designs and bid-ready specifications for five distinct purposes:
    • Town main entrance sign
    • Display options for community organizations to advertise events
    • Way-Finding signs that direct visitors throughout Town
    • Design of street signs, parking signs, and other signs and postings.
    • Town Wharf and Marina sign
• Parking
  • As the vibrancy in our Downtown increases, and spaces above retail are allowed to have residential and Homestay use, we want to protect parking during business hours for businesses and allow for adequate parking for new community members.
    • The deliverable for this aspect of the project would be a traffic and parking analysis providing current inventory and specific recommendations for maximizing our parking and achieving the objective mentioned.
• Strategic Recommendations
  • The firm selected would be required to have substantial time on-site, in town, touring and familiarizing with the Onancock’s Character and land use.
    • The request is the consultant, after spending time, provide strategic feedback on items such as land use, park and open space, community wellness, and other matters that given the expertise of the firm, may help Onancock in its future planning.  This report would not be more than 5-written pages.
