Advertisement _ Vision 2035 Comprehensive Pla.docx

This document is an advertisement for Request for Proposals (RFP) # 2024019-RFP1511 for the Vision 2035 Comprehensive Plan Update issued by the Columbia County Board of Commissioners Procurement Department in Georgia. The County is seeking qualified firms to provide consulting services for the five-year update to the Vision 2035 Comprehensive Plan. The update will focus on future land use and development, an assessment of the community vision, and an update to the implementation program. Proposals are due no later than Thursday, August 29, 2024 at 12:00:00 PM ET and must be submitted online via columbiacountyga.bonfirehub.com.

The RFP states that due to the narrow focus of the update, public engagement and involvement is paramount to the success of the project. Qualified firms are encouraged to focus on this aspect in their proposals. The county is one of the fastest growing in the United States, and the Vision 2035 Comprehensive Plan has been used extensively to help guide that growth. However, an update is now needed to further guide anticipated future growth and address future goals.
