Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. Project AwarenessA successful project launch that engages all stakeholders across the Kansas City, Kansas,decision makers and multiple UG Departments. This should include both the standing up of aninternal project team organization structure (“project management team”) and an external,community-based steering committee. A public outreach event will solicit initial communityinterest and input, as well as increased awareness and raise the public discourse regardingboth planning in general and this Citywide Master Plan process specifically.2. Public Engagement & Buy-InA tactile, digital, and engaging community visioning process that ignites the public’s imaginationof the possible in an informed dialogue of discovery. Using the insights gained from ongoing outreach and in-depth analyses across the UG, the selected Consultant will craft a communityengagement and public outreach campaign in collaboration with the Unified Government’sPlanning and Urban Design Department, Strategic Communications Division, and LivableNeighborhood Initiative, whom collectively have been working “on the ground” with the localcommunity and neighborhood groups for decades. It is the expectation that UG Staff willsupplement most of this effort, but the overall coordination, strategy, and content developmentwill be the responsibility of the selected Consultant. Extending from the Planning and UrbanDesign Department’s Public Involvement Plan protocol (See ATTACHMENTS), this effort willformulate a strategy that meets people where they are, targets traditionally underrepresentedpopulations (elderly, youth, non-English speakers, digital divide, etc.), and is both innovative in apost-pandemic reality, as well as good ole-fashioned planning fun!
