Arts and Culture Master Plan and Organizational Management Analysis

The Town of Breckenridge in Summit County, Colorado, has issued a solicitation to select a qualified consultant or team to develop a comprehensive Arts and Culture Master Plan alongside an organizational management and funding analysis. The project aims to establish a ten-year strategic vision for arts and culture in the community, emphasizing robust public engagement, stakeholder input, and inclusive outreach, including bilingual (English/Spanish) components. The scope involves creating detailed deliverables such as a final master plan document, an organizational structure and funding report, and multiple public presentations, all aligned with community priorities and sustainable growth objectives. The contract size is estimated between $50,000 and $150,000, with a performance period of approximately six months to a year following contract award. Proposals are due by December 3, 2025, and will be evaluated based on multiple weighted criteria, including project approach, community engagement strategy, relevant experience, team qualifications, and cost. The evaluation process emphasizes technical merit and community impact over price alone, with the Town reserving the right to award the contract to the most advantageous proposal. The procurement process involves submitting a comprehensive electronic proposal package, including organizational details, project approach, bios of key personnel, a detailed fee schedule, and insurance documentation, all in PDF format. The process underscores transparency, responsiveness, and adherence to specified submission guidelines, with no explicit federal FAR clauses or standard government contract provisions included, as this is a municipal professional services solicitation focused on community arts development.
