Strategic Plan Consulting Services

The township seeks a consultant to provide strategic plan development and implementation support under a one-year contract. The selected vendor will collaborate with stakeholders, attend meetings, develop materials, make presentations, and prepare reports and other documents documenting activities and findings. The consultant will maintain regular communication with elected officials, community groups, and the general public.

The engagement will include designing and implementing public involvement and outreach strategies, facilitating community events, and developing a communications and outreach plan. The plan must include five focus groups or listening sessions involving residents, community partners, elected officials, and township staff, along with methods to engage community members who do not typically participate in civic dialogue. The consultant will also design and conduct a statistically valid community survey, followed by open community, employee, and elected official surveys using the same questions.

The consultant will analyze the township’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, assess emerging and projected trends, and evaluate potential impacts. The resulting work must include goals, recommended processes and policies, and timeframes to maintain the strategic plan as a living, actionable document for elected officials and the leadership team. Questions must be submitted by September 18, 2026.
