Request for Proposals for Public Works Strategic Planning Service

The City of Alameda Public Works Department (PW) invites proposals for Strategic Planning Services.

Alameda PW is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to update PW’s existing 2020- 2025 Strategic Plan. The updated strategic plan will serve as a blueprint for enhancing our department and services over the next five years and beyond, aligning our programs, projects, and activities with the Citywide Strategic Plan. PW’s new strategic plan will be developed with significant input from our employees, reflecting a bottom-up process that incorporates their ideas and contributions. The focus of this new strategic plan is to revisit the department’s mission, vision and values and to set goals and objectives that are actionable, aspirational, and achievable by PW.

Alameda PW is responsible for Alameda’s public infrastructure, including assessment districts; integrated waste; streets; sewers; storm drains; sidewalks; street trees; traffic striping, signals, and systems; urban forest; parking and parking enforcement; and public facilities and fleet. PW’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan is attached here as Exhibit A.
