This document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 22532 issued by the Town of Mansfield, Connecticut, soliciting professional consulting services to develop the Mansfield 2025 Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD). The RFP is open to all vendors and will be available from April 29, 2024, at 5:00 PM EDT through May 28, 2024, at 4:00 PM EDT, during which potential vendors can submit proposals. The project requires a comprehensive strategic planning document that will assess the town's current conditions, establish a forward-looking vision for municipal development, and create specific strategies and recommendations to guide the town's growth and conservation efforts.

The solicitation provides minimal details about specific evaluation criteria, vendor qualifications, or financial parameters. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be vendor-specified. The contact person for questions is Sandra Forand from the Department of Planning and Development, reachable at 860-429-3330 or FORANDS@MANSFIELDCT.ORG. Proposals must be delivered to 4 South Eagleville Road, Storrs, CT 06268. The lack of detailed financial information, such as estimated contract value or budget range, suggests the town is seeking a flexible approach to developing its conservation and development plan, potentially allowing for a wide range of professional consulting firms to submit proposals.
