Operational and Financial Sustainability Consulting Services

The Sacramento, California government authority is seeking a vendor to provide operational and financial sustainability consulting services for a one-year contract period. The agency needs a comprehensive operational review of staffing levels, maintenance practices, workflows, and alignment with industry standards to improve its overall efficiency. To address long-term stability, the agency requires a detailed financial assessment of revenues, expenditures, reserves, and debt obligations, which includes developing a five-year financial pro-forma with baseline and scenario analyses that account for existing and anticipated grant-funded projects. The selected vendor must evaluate the current debt structure and develop options for restructuring, refinancing, or alternative repayment strategies. The scope of work also requires identifying opportunities for revenue enhancement and cost optimization through rate modeling, concession strategies, partnerships, operational efficiencies, and future-proofing strategies like electric vehicle charging and marina electrification. Additionally, the agency needs performance metrics and benchmarks for customer service, facility condition, reinvestment practices, and operational performance, alongside a prioritized capital improvement strategy that incorporates grant funding opportunities and timelines. To mitigate future risks, the agency requires an evaluation of alternative operating or governance models and sensitivity analyses to identify potential fiscal cliffs from economic downturns, reduced occupancy, cost escalation, and revenue variability. The vendor must develop a financial resilience and payment strategy outlining how the agency will meet debt and operational obligations during economic downturns, including contingency planning, reserve strategies, and phased response actions. Bidders must perform all work onsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The agency is looking for budget proposals to determine the cost of these services. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 04, 2026. Final responses can be submitted digitally via email or online.
