Bid Description:
The City of Barre is requesting proposals from Strategic Planning Consultants specifically experienced in municipal government work to guide its City Council and administrative leadership team (staff) through an inaugural, strategic planning/goals setting process.
Special Instructions:
We have a seven-person City council comprised of a Mayor and six Councilors representing three City Wards. (Two Councilors per Ward; all have two year terms). The Mayor is elected at large, also for a two-year term. We have an experienced administrative (Department Head) leadership team working to support Council policy objectives while conducting the day-to-day operations of the City as expected by both Councilors and residents.
The Councilors and Leadership team have concluded that both groups would benefit greatly from an experienced, third party Facilitator to lead both groups through a mutual, professionally guided strategic planning process where priorities, roles, expectations, metrics, etc. are established to promote a collaborative and constructive working relationship.
The leadership team is eager to connect with the Council and engage in productive discussions about what can and can’t be accomplished with existing resources and time available, clarifying and/or defining the respective roles of Council and staff, and how to establish realistic and achievable objectifies at the Council level.
