STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY PLAN AND ROADMAP
SPU RFP/Contract# 22-113-S

The City of Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) is requesting proposals from qualified consultants who can partner with SPU executives and managers to develop SPU’s Technology Strategic Plan and Roadmap (SSTP). The SSTP will outline key technology strategies and goals that align with SPU’s 2021-2026 Strategic Business Plan (SBP), line of businesses and branch level plans and operational objectives. This will enable a future-ready utility where technology empowers our employees to fulfill our commitment to people, communities, and the environment.

The estimated budget for this effort is $750,000 for 12 months. SPU may retain the consultant(s) after the delivery of the SSTP to assist with the implementation of the plan.
