A Kansas agency is seeking a vendor to develop a community-based strategic plan that incorporates extensive public input and aligns closely with the agency’s long-term financial and capital planning objectives. The strategic plan should integrate strategies for regional cooperation, shared services, and partnerships with neighboring jurisdictions, educational institutions, and local organizations, following best practices for long-term community sustainability.

The vendor will be responsible for replicating core questions from the 2021 and 2023 community surveys to ensure comparability, while also proposing supplemental questions as appropriate. Work will include referencing provided survey documents, developing a comprehensive distribution strategy (including online, paper, and mail options), and ensuring broad, representative community participation. The process should highlight community strengths, concerns, and emerging priorities, identify demographic trends, and facilitate accessible public engagement.

Deliverables will include presentation-ready graphics and summary tables, with survey results and insights integrated into the final strategic plan.
