URFP# H00126 - DEVELOPMENT OF MOBILITY ACTION PLAN

The City of Staunton is seeking a consultant to design and facilitate a community co-design process to develop an Economic Mobility Action Plan (EMAP). This initiative focuses on economic mobility and independence, specifically a household's ability to achieve financial stability and opportunity, rather than transportation. The selected consultant will employ a collaborative methodology involving peer inquiry, community research, and the mentoring of local co-facilitators to ensure community ownership. The project has a 12-month period of performance and requires the delivery of a 24-month implementation framework, an internal action tracker for staff management, and three presentations consisting of one internal result sharing and two public presentations. Proposals are due by 2:00 p.m. on September 4, 2026, and can be submitted via the eVA system or in paper format. The City utilizes a ranked selection process where qualified offerors may be invited to present before a final ranking is established. While price is considered, it is not the sole determining factor for the award. Key requirements include the submission of a completed Offeror Information Form and a proposal limited to 30 one-sided pages. Additionally, any contract exceeding 500,000 dollars will require both performance and payment bonds. Payment is generally issued 30 days after the receipt of a satisfactory invoice.
