COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SERVICES

The City's Neighborhood Development Services (NDS) Department is leading multiple upcoming planning processes that will require significant community engagement. Some plans are closer to starting the engagement process than others; the background and statement of needs indicate known expectations and expect adaptive and iterative consultant support and engagement tools depending on the development of each planning process.

To ensure the selected consultant(s) is/are prepared to provide expert public engagement strategy and substantive engagement support, the community engagement services outlined in this RFP are intended to complement other technical planning services that will be acquired through separate contracts. The Engagement consultant should expect to coordinate extensively with content area experts across plan processes, including various City staff teams and project-specific consultant support.
