Comprehensive Development Strategic Planning Consultant Services

The county is seeking a qualified consultant to provide comprehensive development strategic planning services. This initiative aims to deliver a data-driven decision-making tool for county leaders while establishing a roadmap for regional collaboration through public and private community input. The selected consultant will compile and present historical economic development information, analyze current economic conditions from existing data, and identify strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and opportunities across the county and its municipalities. The scope of work requires the creation of a strategic action plan that outlines long-term goals alongside short-term tasks for immediate implementation. The consultant must identify existing and emerging economic development industries, determine time-sensitive priorities, and provide scalable economic development strategies. All performance of the work will occur offsite, and the county is requesting budget proposals from interested parties to determine the cost of these services. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. Bidders must submit their responses digitally, with the agency accepting submissions via email or through their online portal. The agency has not disclosed specific evaluation criteria or key dates in the initial solicitation details.
