PROFESSIONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, TEAM BUILDING, AND COACHING CONSULTING SERVICES

The City of Coachella is soliciting proposals for professional leadership development, team-building, coaching, and organizational development services to support the City Manager’s Office and Human Resources Department. The selected consultant will be responsible for assessing leadership and departmental needs, providing individual and group coaching for directors and managers, and facilitating sessions focused on trust, accountability, and communication. Key deliverables include an initial assessment and work plan, leadership training tools, and follow-up recommendations to sustain organizational improvements. Proposals must be submitted by November 16, 2026, and should include a detailed cost proposal with a clear fee schedule. Award selection will be based on best value, with a strong emphasis on qualifications, public-sector experience, and the proposed approach, rather than cost alone. The successful firm must be licensed in the State of California and agree to the City's Professional Services Agreement without modification. Compliance with California Labor Code regarding workers' compensation and prevailing wage laws is required, and all work is subject to City approval and audit for up to three years following final payment.
