A city in California is seeking a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive strategic planning services. The project aims to establish a long-term vision for the city and outline actionable steps to achieve key objectives over the coming years. The strategic plan will prioritize initiatives, define a course of action, and create a framework for reporting progress to the city council.

The selected vendor will be responsible for developing detailed workplans that incorporate key performance indicators for evaluating success. Services will include facilitating employee engagement through input collection processes and ongoing involvement across all organizational levels. The vendor will also design and manage a community visioning process involving public outreach, stakeholder meetings, online surveys, or other suitable forums to gather community input. Additionally, the scope includes engaging city council members via tailored workshops focused on goal and priority setting.

An essential component of these services is the development of methodologies for performance monitoring, ensuring that strategic priorities and goals are embedded in the city's budget and decision-making processes. This includes the integration of financial and performance metrics reporting to support effective tracking and accountability.
