NCI has developed the first model
Request for Proposals (RFP), a general guide for the procurement
of services relating to a community planning project that includes
a NCI charrette. The NCI charrette is an accelerated, collaborative
planning process. Lacking a charrette specification, sponsoring
agencies have been left to simply call for a charrette and hope
for the best. Such a lack of specificity in the RFP typically
results in a confusing set of proposals representing a wide range
of processes. This makes it very difficult to judge the proposals
and often leads to a less than satisfactory public involvement
process.
The purpose of this RFP template is to:
- provide language to encourage consistency of resulting proposals,
- ease the rating and comparison of proposals,
- assist in the successful implementation of a superior community
development process and product.
This project was made possible through
the support of InterCap
Holdings.
NOTE: NCI will update and improve this resource over time. Please
assist us with this goal by sending us a copy of your RFP that
results from the use of this template. We are happy to
review your RFP and upon our approval will distribute it to individuals
who have completed our NCI Charrette Planner® and NCI Charrette
Manager™ certificate trainings. To allow time for our review
and feedback, please send it to us 2 weeks in advance of wide
distribution or release. Also, please feel free to send
us feedback, questions and updates on your project.
