The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (hereinafter “District”, “Owner” and “CFTOD”) is a Special Taxing District that serves as a local government entity. CFTOD is seeking the expertise of a qualified consulting firm (“Consultant”) to assist in the update of our 2020 Comprehensive Plan, in compliance with state regulations and requirements. This effort aims to ensure that our planning framework effectively addresses current and future needs, aligns with state mandates, and supports sustainable growth and development. The selected consultant will bring specialized knowledge and experience to guide the revision process, incorporating stakeholder engagement and best practices to enhance the plan’s effectiveness and relevance.

CFTOD’s jurisdiction covers approximately 24,500 acres of land within Orange and Osceola Counties, and consists of two cities; the City of Bay Lake and the City of Lake Buena Vista. Due to the unique nature and needs of the District and its various residents, stakeholders, guests and employees, the District will need a Consultant that is capable of working closely with staff to understand the needs and priorities of the District.

Overall the District wants this Comprehensive Plan Update to provide a well-organized, straight-forward and concise tool to guide the District’s decision making and development over the next twenty years.

The Comprehensive Plan Update must comply with the requirements of the Community Planning Act contained in Chapter 163 of Florida Statutes. NOTE: The update to the 2020 Comprehensive Plan is on a tight schedule with full adoption by the CFTOD Board of Supervisors and approval by State of Florida Department of Commerce by September 15, 2025.

The Consultant will provide support to in-house staff in all work efforts required to update the plan. The Consultant’s primary objectives include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Conduct a full review of the existing comprehensive plan and existing development agreement(s).

2. Propose alternative goals, objectives, policies, and recommendations for the listed elements.
