RFP #023-2027
PART I
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND SERVICES REQUIRED
1.0 INTRODUCTION/DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT/SERVICES:
The City of Springfield is seeking proposals from qualified firms/providers for services of a Program Consultant to provide, as an
extension of City staff, program-specific services to assist in the development and management of Spring Forward SGF. To be
considered qualified, proposers shall have had experience consulting to municipal agencies on multi-year, multi-project capital
programs intended to produce transformational results through investments of unprecedented quality and scope. One firm
comprised of multiple relevant disciplines (for example, planning, architecture, civil engineering, landscape architecture and
program management) is preferred over teams of collaborating consulting firms or individuals.
1.1 Description of Operations or Background:
On Nov. 5, 2024, Springfield voters approved a 34-cent sales tax to fund essential public services, and improvements to
neighborhoods, streets and parks as part of the implementation of the city's Forward SGF Comprehensive Plan.
One third of the tax proceeds, or 14-cent, is allocated to contributions to the Police-Fire Pension system and increases to
Police and Fire pay to a level competitive with peer cities. This portion of the tax has no sunset.
The remaining portion, or 12-cent, is estimated to produce approximately $30 million a year initially, and funds capital
improvements, neighborhood initiatives and parks projects consistent with the Forward SGF Comprehensive Plan. This
portion has a 10-year sunset, and over this time it is expected the 12-cent portion will generate some $350 million in revenue.
A Citizens' Advisory Board (CAB) provides project recommendations to City Council, and the program is known as Spring
Forward SGF.
In recommending Spring Forward SGF projects to Council, the CAB considers whether a proposed project:
* Can be completed with no ongoing debt obligation
* Is eligible for matching funds
* Directly generates new sales tax or other revenue for City services and infrastructure
* Creates jobs or stimulates economic growth
* Is a catalyst that retains existing or attracts new City residents or businesses
* Improves livability for City residents or workers
* Is transformational and invests in the next generation
* Is a continuation of an existing or previous project.
In addition, City Council adopted by resolution three additional considerations for project selection:
* Council members may submit projects for Advisory Board review; the Board will follow Council's established timeline
for approval.
* Preference is given to City-run or City-partnered projects over independent or grant-style programs.
* Requests for ongoing operating funds are discouraged, maintaining a focus on one-time, capital, or transformational
investments.
Over the past 18 months the CAB has met numerous times and has recommended to City Council several projects or
initiatives, all of which have been approved by Council. A staff report dated June 2026 is available in downloadable PDF
format at https://www.springfieldmo.gov/springforwardSGF.
