What the buyer needs
AI summaryThe government authority in Jackson, WY, seeks a vendor to provide comprehensive plan update and community check-in services. The selected vendor will deliver comprehensive planning, growth management, community engagement, and facilitation to help the town and county review the 2020 comprehensive plan, conduct a focused community and elected-official check-in, and prepare targeted plan amendments. The vendor must reaffirm plan sections reflecting community vision and values, identify areas warranting policy or strategy revisions, and provide elected and appointed officials with a clear factual and community-informed basis for decisions. Work must avoid duplicating recent or ongoing town, county, and joint planning initiatives, produce concise and implementable amendments rather than wholesale rewriting, and complete tasks within the requested timeframe. Only onshore USA organizations are eligible to bid, and the work will be performed offsite. The buyer is currently looking for proposals and has not stated a specific budget, submission deadline, evaluation criteria, or contract term.
