Overview

Summary

The County desires to pre-qualify outside organizations and obtain services to conduct Economic Impact Analysis related to the County’s Strategic Investment Program (SIP) that is aligned with the SIP Policy and evaluation guidelines. This analysis will support leadership in determining the viability of project applications.

The County's use of the Consultant's services is on an as-needed basis such that if the demand is not there, then the services will not be requested. Proposers require a specific area of strength in economic analysis and are not required to team with a large number of sub-consultants to cover potential types of projects.

Selected organizations will be placed on an availability list for a period up to five (5) years from the date the list is established with a specific focus on economic analysis. Selected and contracted firms will be used to conduct economic analysis on a project-by-project basis. Multiple qualified firms will be selected for a singular or combination of services depending on in-house capabilities. If the availability list drops below the required number of firms, the County reserves the right to invite the next highest ranked proposer to be added to the list upon their approval.
