Description
The City of Tracy is seeking to establish an on‑call pool of qualified consultants to provide a broad range of economic‑development and real‑estate advisory services. Selected consultants will be placed on a qualified list and may be called upon for task‑order contracts covering strategic plan implementation, business attraction and retention, workforce development, real‑estate analysis, marketing/branding, and placemaking initiatives. Proposals must include a Statement of Qualifications (hard copy and electronic) and a separate sealed cost proposal outlining hourly rates and any other fee structures. The city will evaluate firms on experience, staff qualifications, understanding of the scope, proposed fees, and connection to the Tracy community.
• Services include economic‑development strategic‑plan execution, business attraction/retention, workforce development, real‑estate advisory, marketing/branding, and placemaking.
• Vendors must submit one original + four copies of an SOQ, an electronic PDF, and a sealed cost proposal by March 26, 2026 (5 PM PST).
• Evaluation criteria weigh scope understanding (20 %), experience (20 %), staff qualifications (20 %), fee structure (20 %), and community connection (10 %).
• The contract is on‑call; no set duration, but consultants may receive multiple task‑order agreements after being placed on the qualified list.
