NCI Charrette Request for Proposal (RFP) Template
Free for download in MS Word format
NCI has developed the first model Request for Proposal (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.
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 System and NCI Charrette Management and Facilitation™ 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.
