SUBJECT: Amendment to Agreement for EDSAP (RFP 2024059)
__________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
On November 19, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners awarded RFP 2024059 for an Economic Development Strategic Action Plan (EDSAP) to TIP Strategies, Inc. The EDSAP aims to enhance economic growth, attract investments, retain businesses, and foster employment opportunities within the County.
ANALYSIS
The current agreement with TIP Strategies will expire on November 19, 2025. The Planning & Development Services Department would like to amend this agreement to allow for a six-month extension, with a new agreement expiration date of May 19, 2026. Completion of the project has been delayed due to various reasons including: TIP Strategies change of the County's project manager, as well as requested revisions to the first draft of the plan by the Economic Development Council.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
There is no additional fiscal impact, as the Consultant is not requesting additional funding.
