Title
A Resolution Authorizing BerryDunn to Develop a Strategic Plan for the City
Summary
A strategic plan is a requirement of the GFOA budget award, and in order to continue to receive this award, a citywide strategic plan needs to be put in place. The City solicited requests for proposals for the development of a citywide strategic plan. Upon review of the submitted proposals, it has been determined that BerryDunn would be the best fit for the development of the City's Strategic Plan based upon factors, including but not limited to, their proposed methodology and their prior experience. There is no money budgeted for this project, but the BerryDunn proposal came back at $79,100. We request to move forward to accept the proposal from BerryDunn and amend the budget by $83,055.00 to include a 5% contingency.
