RFP/RFQ for Strategic Plan, TIF Plan, and Master Plan Update

The Village of Dundee and the Dundee Downtown Development Authority in Monroe County, Michigan, are soliciting proposals under solicitation 2025-003 for professional consulting services to develop a Community Strategic Plan, update the DDA Development and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Plan, and revise the Village Master Plan. This integrated project is time-sensitive, as the Master Plan requires a mandatory five-year review by March 2026 and the TIF Plan expires on December 31, 2026. The scope of work emphasizes a comprehensive approach including a SWOT analysis and a robust public engagement plan to ensure community alignment and compliance with Michigan municipal planning laws. The total estimated budget for these efforts is 150,000 dollars, consisting of 100,000 dollars appropriated for the Strategic Plan and 50,000 dollars for the TIF Plan update. Proposals are limited to 20 pages and must include firm experience, team biographies, a detailed project schedule, and an itemized cost breakdown. Submissions are due by July 25, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. EDT, and must be delivered to the Village office at 350 West Monroe Street, Dundee, MI. Award decisions will be based on a trade-off process evaluating experience, qualifications, timeliness, and cost, rather than price alone.
