Description
The County of Marin seeks a qualified consultant to lead a facilitation‑driven strategic refresh of its Homelessness System of Care. The effort is limited to a short‑term (under six months) series of working sessions with system partners and people with lived experience, culminating in a final Strategic Refresh Report and an Implementation Roadmap for County and Continuum of Care approval. The contract runs for 18 months (allowing administrative flexibility) with a not‑to‑exceed budget of $100 k. Key responsibilities include designing the facilitation approach, engaging stakeholders (including lived‑experience participants), synthesizing input into iterative drafts, delivering a detailed implementation roadmap, and providing bi‑weekly status updates. The County will cover participant compensation and related logistics; the consultant must handle all professional‑service costs within the $100 k ceiling and meet standard insurance requirements.
• Facilitate a series of stakeholder workshops and interviews, capture decisions, and produce post‑session summaries.
• Conduct gap analysis and root‑driver synthesis to create a concise Strategic Refresh Report and actionable Implementation Roadmap.
• Provide a comprehensive stakeholder‑engagement plan that demonstrates equity‑centered outreach and integrates race‑equity considerations.
• Deliver all final deliverables (report, roadmap, presentations) within the six‑month refresh period; maintain bi‑weekly progress reporting throughout the contract.
• Submit a detailed budget worksheet, non‑collusion affidavit, and meet insurance (including $1 M liability and $2 M aggregate) requirements.
