RESOLUTION APPROVING REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS AND
AUTHORIZING DISTRIBUTION FOR VISIONING/BRANDING
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS, one of the City Council's top goals is to create and promote a community
vision; and,
WHEREAS, over the years,many organizations have attempted to create a unifying vision
for our community,but none of these past efforts involved leadership from the Council; and,
WHEREAS, to rectify this, the City Manager was instructed to: 1) present a report on the
Dubuque Foundation's effort to create a community vision, and 2) draft a Request for Proposal
(RFP) for distribution to potential visioning consultants; and,
WHEREAS, most successful visioning experiences have the services of an outside
consultant, and it would appear the cost for this type of work by a consultant could range from
$50,000 to $100,000; and,
WHEREAS, should the City Council decide to proceed with the distribution of an RFP for
visioning consulting services, it would be important to establish a citizen committee to assist City
staff in reviewing any proposals that are received and make a recommendation to the Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the Request for Proposals for outside consulting services to create a community vision is hereby
approved, and City staff is authorized to distribute the RFP to consulting firms that specialize in
visioning/branding.
