Calcasieu Parish is located in the heart of southwest Louisiana 250 miles from New Orleans, 170 miles from Houston and 320 miles from Dallas. It is 1,086 square miles in area with a population of 183,577 persons.

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury is soliciting written qualifications and technical approach proposals from qualified consultants/consultant teams. The Police Jury and staff have identified four critical tasks to be accomplished during the project prioritized as follows:

(1) Rewrite of the current Subdivision Regulations to incorporate all recent studies/plans and address critical issues;

(2) Prepare a comprehensive master plan for the unincorporated area of Calcasieu Parish;

(3) Perform an audit of the current development codes for Calcasieu Parish and establish a framework for the preparation of a Unified Development Code (UDC); and

(4) Prepare certain aesthetic control ordinances that can be adopted during the master plan process and made a part of the UDC framework.

The timeframe for accomplishing all work to be performed is 18 months from a notice to proceed which will be determined during contract negotiations with the selected consultant/consultant team.
