1. Initial Comprehensive Study for Columbus Rail Yard Relocation ?

RFP No. 07-0016

Scope of RFP

The Columbus Consolidated Government (the City) is soliciting competitive

sealed proposals from experienced, qualified firms to provide a comprehensive

study to characterize all relevant aspects and requirements to facilitate and

develop a project to relocate the existing rail yard on the east boundary of

Columbus, Georgia?s Central Business district (CBD). Such a relocation has

been contemplated a number of times during the last 100 years to fulfill a

variety of commercial and public revenue opportunities envisioned by the

downtown community and Consolidated Government, and to reduce several perceived

potential threats to public safety associated with continuing extensive rail

operations downtown. Projected growth of the next few years is likely to

increase the value of these opportunities. Similarly, such growth is likely to

increase the level of public risk if no relocation is selected.
