Community Engagement Consultation Service

The Pierce County Library System seeks professional qualifications for a community engagement consultation to support its strategic plan. The buyer needs a vendor to build staff skills, establish new arts-based participatory engagement practices, co-design plans, and create a long-term strategy and sustainable toolkit for public engagement. US organizations capable of performing offsite services with relevant experience and ability are eligible to submit, with qualified minority- and women-owned businesses encouraged to apply. Submitters must provide one electronic copy or three paper copies including company qualifications, staff bios, answered RFQ questions, three references from similar projects in the last seven years, and a signed declaration form. Final questions are due October 22, 2026, and proposals must be submitted by November 2, 2026, at 5:00 PM. An evaluation committee will assess proposals based on qualifications, capability, references, pricing structure and total cost, proposed schedule, process, methods, experience with libraries or public agencies, and overall responsiveness.
