Design, Administer, Analyze and Report Comprehensive Community Survey Service

The government authority in Cleveland, Ohio is seeking a contractor to design, administer, analyze, and report on a comprehensive community survey. The agency needs to gather feedback from a minimum of 2,000 and a target of up to 3,000 community members to measure change over time and benchmark against prior survey waves. This project aims to solve the challenge of gathering statistically sound, generalizable feedback that includes hard-to-reach populations such as youth, unhoused residents, returning citizens, older adults, and persons with disabilities. The scope of work requires the contractor to develop a survey research plan, draft and refine the survey instrument, and administer the survey through agency-approved modes. The contractor must also conduct focus groups, analyze the collected data, prepare a final report, and deliver a presentation of the results to agency staff and designated stakeholders. All data collection must take place offsite between August and November 2026 using a sampling plan with documented margins of error and weighting methodology. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The contract period will span one year, and the agency is currently looking for budget proposals to determine the cost of the project. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for June 24, 2026, and bidders must submit all questions regarding the opportunity no later than June 26, 2026.
