Project Background

Lakewood's current Comprehensive Plan, Lakewood 2025: Moving Forward Together, (Lakewood 2025) was adopted in 2015 and articulated the community vision for the City looking ten (10) years into the future. The tenth year, 2025, is quickly approaching and the Plan needs to be updated to document the vision for the City and guide decisions in Lakewood for the next ten years. Lakewood 2025 was developed entirely in-house by City staff, but for this next Comprehensive Plan update, staff would like to collaborate with a consultant team. Lakewood staff will lead the process, but considerable support from a consultant team(s) during the entire plan development and approval process will be needed.

The scope of work outlined in this RFP is for an early phase of the process. Please click here for a direct link to the RFP on BidNet.
