The City of Phoenix is a growing community in Southern Oregon bordering the City of Medford to the north and the City of Talent to the south. The City is recovering from the 2020 Almeda fire and desires help with strategic and long-range planning activities related to developing in a well-planned and sustainable manner. This includes assistance in determining and implementing methods and processes needed to fund the development and maintenance of needed infrastructure. The City has created this RFQ as a way to hire a qualified consultant to assist the City with these planning and grant management projects when the City Manager and the Community Development Director determine that the workload of the current city staff requires additional planning resources.
