II. PURPOSE The City of Roseville, Minnesota invites proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a community - wide visioning process. In 2006, a community-wide visioning process resulted in the Imagine Roseville 2025 report and the development of Community Aspirations. As the demographics of the community have changed since 2006, the City wishes to conduct a comprehensive public participation process to collaborate with stakeholders to determine if the current Community Aspirations are relevant and appropriate and make any additions or revisions as necessary. Additionally, the city is seeking to collaborate with stakeholders to develop and prioritize specific outcomes that will demonstrate the City is achieving the Community Aspirations. The City Council has indicated the importance of collaboration with stakeholders to establish a foundation for the City’s Strategic Plan for the next 10-year period. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Roseville seeks to retain a highly qualified consultant experienced in public participation methods and facilitation with diverse stakeholders. The visioning process must be inclusive and reach a broad audience with the use of innovative and inclusive public participation efforts. A variety of effective approaches must be included to ensure engagement with and participation by a broad and deep cross section of the community. The consultant will have experience with the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2) foundations, planning and techniques; experience facilitating workshops and focus groups; as well as other strategies aimed at capturing widespread public input. The City of Roseville intends to complete a city-wide visioning process. The process must include extensive, diverse and effective engagement and participation of residents, youth and other key stakeholders within the community. The intended outcome of the visioning process is to identify and articulate Community Aspirations and to develop and prioritize specific outcomes the community believes will demonstrate the City is achieving Community Aspirations. This process will serve as the precursor to the development of a community-informed Strategic Plan with specific goals to achieve the prioritized outcomes identified during the community visioning process to the maximum extent possible. The City is looking for a consultant team with sufficient experience to work effectively in a collaborative framework with the public, youth, city commissions, business and industry representatives, service clubs, non-profit organizations, school and city elected officials, staff and other stakeholders. The City is looking for a blend of involvement and collaborative approaches that will engage stakeholders, and particularly community members that typically are not engaged in civic or community dialogue, and those of historically underrepresented backgrounds. IV. SCOPE OF WORK In addition to the items listed below, it is important that the consultant team remain cognizant of the need for the project to establish and sustain credibility with stakeholders and decision-makers. Additionally, this process will create a foundation the city can use as a stepping stone to further relationships that are initiated during the process. It is essential that the selected team have a 3 | Page
