The Public Works Department (Department) of the City of Santa Monica (City) is seeking qualified firms or multi-disciplinary teams to assist the Department in developing the following projects or processes related to the potential conversion of the historic Santa Monica Airport (SMO), which is authorized for closure by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) after December 31, 2028. The Scope of Work includes:

A comprehensive technical report of existing conditions, including but not limited to land use, topography, infrastructure and utilities, environmental and ecological conditions including potential contamination issues, existing buildings and facilities, historical and cultural assets, and mobility conditions.
2. A robust, inclusive and modern outreach process that engages Santa Monica's diverse stakeholders, as well as nearby residents in Los Angeles in providing input on conceptual land use scenarios, economic, environmental and social tradeoffs, and other issues related to potential airport conversion.
3. An exploration of alternative land use scenarios, leveraging triple bottom line sustainability, for the potential conversion of SMO's 227 acres that provide the community and City Council with content for discussion, review, refinement and identification of a preferred scenario that can endure for several generations. Scenarios will be developed around a "Great Park" concept that is supported by a variety of land uses, mobility improvements and infrastructure enhancements. Scenarios will provide rough order of magnitude costs for site preparation, capital design and construction and ongoing operations and maintenance.
