33 offered a cohesive, data-driven approach to the work laid out in the RFP. In addition, given the depth 34 and need for flexibility, adaptiveness and commitment to this work, the timeline, cost and “value- 35 add” of the proposal fit the city’s needs best. The cost proposal is charged based on the scope, scale 36 and desired outcome of the consultancy project. There is no hourly, or daily fee and thereforeas long 37 as our scope of work does not change, the cost will not change regardless of the number of hours the 38 consultant puts in. Expenses for meetings, technical assistance, travel, parking and unlimited access 39 to the consultant’s time are covered. Further, Culture Brokers, LLC offered a six-month value-add 40 component to assist with implementation of any actionable items. As we are well aware, evaluating, 41 reviewing, and proposing items is only one aspect of this work; implementing the changes and 42 sustaining the momentum are also critical components, and are areas. 43 44 P OLICY O BJECTIVE 45 The city strives to be a welcoming and inclusive place for all and is committed to promoting 46 equitable service and diversity in the community.
