DESCRIPTION


The city is seeking consulting services to develop a citywide strategic plan that will guide city leadership, staff, elected officials, community partners, residents, and other stakeholders as the city continues to grow and evolve. The plan is expected to establish a unified citywide vision and strategic framework for the next 10 years.

The consulting engagement will review and connect existing master plans, departmental plans, and adopted planning documents. It will align strategic priorities with budgeting, capital planning, departmental work plans, and performance reporting. Internal staff engagement should identify departmental priorities, challenges, resource needs, staffing considerations, and implementation barriers, while assessing how existing plans are used in departmental work plans, budgeting, capital planning, and performance management.

Public and stakeholder engagement should use multiple participation methods, including public meetings or open houses, community workshops, pop-up engagement events, and online surveys. Deliverables are expected to include summaries of existing plans and conditions, public engagement, steering committee input, and internal staff engagement, along with draft and final strategic plan documents and a draft strategic framework. Questions must be submitted by October 6, 2026.
