Community Engagement & Public Outreach Strategy

The contract requires the design and execution of a comprehensive citizen involvement strategy to inform the development of a parks master plan, emphasizing inclusive and equitable community input through public meetings, focus groups, and targeted stakeholder interviews. The effort must ensure broad participation across diverse demographic groups and geographic areas within California to capture a wide range of community perspectives, needs, and priorities regarding park facilities, accessibility, environmental sustainability, and recreational programming. The approach should be adaptive, culturally competent, and designed to remove barriers to participation, including language, disability, transportation, and digital access. This is a subcontract under the NAICS code 541611 for management consulting services, issued by the California Parks & Recreation agency with a response deadline of July 15, 2026. While specific location details and point of contact information are not provided, the work is expected to be conducted throughout the state, and the contractor must deliver a strategic framework that not only gathers input but also translates it into actionable insights for the master plan. The success of the project hinges on transparent, consistent, and documented engagement processes that build public trust and demonstrate meaningful responsiveness to community feedback.
