Consultative Services for Harms Report for Potential Reparations Program

The City of Ann Arbor seeks a qualified consultant to research, analyze, and produce a comprehensive “Harms Report” that examines historic and current inequities affecting Black residents in the realms of housing and policing. The consultant will coordinate closely with the City Administrator’s Office, deliver a detailed written report (and optional interactive tools), and may provide a partial resource guide. The engagement is expected to last about one year, with technical evaluation followed by possible interviews and award in the spring of 2026. • Deliver a 12‑month research and analysis effort focused exclusively on housing and policing harms. • Produce a final written Harms/Impact Report (plus optional dashboards or online tools) to inform future municipal reparations policy. • Manage all data collection (quantitative and qualitative), community engagement, and coordination with city staff while complying with non‑discrimination, living‑wage, and insurance requirements. • Submit a sealed technical proposal (including qualifications, past performance, work plan) and a separate sealed fee proposal by the Feb 20, 2026 deadline. • Be prepared for a potential interview period (week of March 23, 2026) and contract negotiations in April 2026.
