About this file
This is a Narrative Proposal Template for RFP ED-25-653 issued by the City of Long Beach. The RFP seeks proposals for services to be implemented along the Anaheim corridor, with evaluation criteria focused on organizational capacity, qualifications, feasibility, impact, originality, and understanding of the challenge. Proposers must address specific objectives related to safety concerns of businesses and residents, as well as challenges including vandalism, loitering, and theft. The template requires submission of an editable narrative proposal through Long Beach Buys and indicates a Demo Day component as part of the secondary evaluation phase. The contract term is specified as an initial 12-month period with potential renewal options, though the RFP document does not explicitly state response deadlines, bid due dates, or award dates.
The template does not specify pricing or cost information in detail, instead requiring proposers to identify whether their solution involves one-time costs or recurring expenses and to provide estimated cost structures for renewal periods. The RFP does not reference set-asides, incumbent contractors, or specific funding sources. Proposers must demonstrate municipal experience, provide at least three references with project details, describe data collection and privacy protocols, identify required City resources, and outline staffing plans including any subcontractors. The evaluation requires proposers to present quantitative metrics for success, address the unique needs of the Anaheim corridor, explain their problem-solving approach, and demonstrate how their solution differentiates from competitors. The template emphasizes feasibility planning with timelines and risk mitigation strategies, as well as scalability and iteration plans should the City elect to renew the contract.
