The Portland Children's Levy has published two different Request for Proposals. Details and links to the RFP's can be found below:
RFP: Community Engagement on Needs and Solutions for PCL
PCL is seeking proposals from individuals, firms, teams or consultants to design and implement a community engagement process focused specifically on involving the community in a conversation about the most effective and most needed program services for children, especially children most affected by historical inequities; and to
identify community solutions to improve outcomes for children and families.
The findings and recommendations will inform the development of funding priorities and strategies for future PCL grant-making.
Please note that this IRFP (#00000952) is one of two IRFP's that will replace IRFP#00000882. IRFP#00000882 was canceled because the timeline for the work has changed and the work outlined has been separated into two parts/two solicitations: 1) Community engagement as described above; 2) And Qualitative Research of the PCL Grantmaking Process to understand service provider and stakeholder perceptions and to identify service provider-informed solutions to improve the grantmaking process/PCL operations which is outlined in the second RFP below.
Proposals for the Community Engagement RFP are due by 4 p.m. on Tuesday, July 31, 2018. For more information, and to read or download a copy of the RFP, please review the bid solicitation here
on the City of Portland's website. If you have questions, please contact Lisa Hansell at 503.823.4133 or lisa.hansell@portlandoregon.gov
