Library Strategic Plan Update Service- Budget - Up to approximately 8.1 million USD

The issuing agency is seeking a vendor to update the public library Mission and Vision and to develop a comprehensive updated Strategic Plan. This project will establish goals, measurable objectives, implementation strategies, and performance measures to guide library services, resource allocation, facilities, technology, partnerships, programming, and community engagement over the next five years, spanning 2027 through 2032. The agency needs to address the creation of the city's fourth library branch, unfinished work envisioned in the previous strategic plan, and the evolving needs of an extraordinarily diverse, multilingual patronage. The scope of work covers challenges related to agency collections processes and policies, branch service expectations, technology trends, and staffing/implementation capacity. The selected vendor must conduct a Community Needs Assessment, facilitate Stakeholder Engagement, define the Mission, Vision, and Strategic Framework, and perform Implementation Planning. All performance of the work will take place offsite. Only onshore organizations based in the USA are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency has signaled a budget of up to approximately 8.1 million USD for this project. Bidders must submit all questions no later than June 18, 2026, and the final deadline for the opportunity is July 1, 2026.
