INTRODUCTION
As requested by the Planning and Zoning Division (hereinafter, the “Division”), the Collier County Board of County Commissioners
Procurement Services Division (hereinafter, “County”) has issued this Request for P rofessional Services (hereinafter, “RPS”) with
the intent of obtaining proposals from interested and qualified Consultants in accordance with the terms, conditions and specifications
stated or attached. The Consultant, at a minimum, must achieve the requirements of the Specifications or Scope of Work state d.
BACKGROUND
2017-18 – US 41 corridor study accepted by the Board of County Commissioners. During the February 14, 2017, public hearing, the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to engage the community in a public planning process to determine the
commercial land uses most desired by the community and develop incentives to promote those desired land uses. Through a series
of public meetings, the emphasis was upon identifying the specific types of businesses currently located on the Corridor and creating
a baseline, with emphasis upon traffic infrastructure (roadways design) influence on commercial market viability and attraction. With
Coordination with the East Naples Foundation, CRA, and other stakeholder’s groups, Staff developed a public meeting schedule.
The recommendations provided for within the final report were based upon feedback received from over 200 participants at four
publicly advertised community meetings, based upon direct feedback to a visual preference survey and written comments.
Building off the work of the US41 corridor study and the recommendations contained within the County is interested in taking the next
step in identifying the vision of the community for the area and translating that vision within a Community Development Plan to facilitate
that vision. The Future Land Use map for the area, established in 1989 provides the framework for which the current zoning is anchored,
but the Community has expressed frustrations in that the area lacks a vision for the assets of the area and a clear understanding of the built
environment and the opportunities associated within the economic and demographic composition of the area. Based upon those desires,
the County is seeking to develop the East Naples Community Development Plan (ENCDP).
TERM OF CONTRACT
County reserves the right to modify this scope during negotiations for budgetary reasons.
The contract term, if an award is made, will commence on the date of the Notice to Proceed and end upon acceptance and approv al
of the final payment.
Prices shall remain firm for the initial term of the awarded contract.
Surcharges will not be accepted in conjunction with this award, and such charges should be incorporated into the pricing structure.
DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK
The Growth Management Department (GMD) is issuing this RPS to hire a consultant team to serve as the team Project Manager and
coordinate the planning, analysis and public involvement services. GMD retains all rights and ownership to the data, reports,
presentations, maps, video and figures delivered by the Consultant in order to complete the tasks in this Scope of Services. The

16.A.26.c
Packet Pg. 880 Attachment: 19-1753 Solicitation (10546 : East Naples Community Development Plan RSP)
The consultant will propose a work plan to develop a Community Vision through public involvement and participation, lay the
groundwork for what the citizens of East Naples would like the identity of the area to be. The vision will also guide decision makers to
focused growth areas throughout the Study area as well as target industry and viable economic development.
The Community Vision should understand the whole community, reflect core community values, address emerging trends and issues,
imagine a preferred future, and promote local action. The vision findings of this exercise will then be prioritized and added to a
Community Development Plan.
The Community Development planning determines where an area is going over the next few years and how it plans to get there. The
intent of the Community Development Plan is to help the County and the East Naples area direct its efforts and resources toward a
defined vision for the future. The plan should include benchmarks or milestones that measure the Study Area’s progress along the way.
The County needs to adopt a plan that the community accepts. The process should include both active and passive involvement ensuring
diverse and extensive community participation. The Community Development Plan is a “living document” and shall undergo periodic
review and adjustment to reflect progress towards the achievement of goals and/or the modification of goals.
The process should address and provide direction/goals on the following issues:
Community Vision
• Determine where the East Naples area is now and help the area decide what it wants to be in the future. This
should take into account what makes East Naples unique and special, and how the County can use these
characteristics to prepare for the future.
• Determine a community accepted brand or identity slogan for promotion and direction.
• Provide a process that allows general alignment and focus of the Board of County Commissioners, County
administration, and staff, with the citizens, business interests, community groups, and local organizations.
• Recognize economic development potential and ways to diversify the local land use allocation
• Identify and analyze potential partnerships with other entities; (such as public/public, public/private).
Strategic Action Plan
• Transform the conceptual goals from the visioning process into realistic, achievable targets.
• Evaluate existing and future public infrastructure and maintenance; priorities, phasing; help identify how County
resources should be allocated and how to ensure existing infrastructure is maintained and future infrastructure is
responsibly planned.
• Plan for fiscal sustainability.
Phase One – Community Vision
• Facilitate a Community Visioning process consisting of public meetings, focus -group sessions, open houses, surveys
and other outreach forums. Additionally, this visioning effort shall be built upon the 2018 US41 Corridor Study
conducted for the East Naples area and accepted by the Board of County Commissioners in the spring of 2018. These
gatherings would result in the submission of a multitude of suggestions from members of the East Naples community.
The desired outcome is a community vision entailing guiding goals, each with specific visioning targets that could serve
as a framework for the strategic planning process, and direction for a brand or identity.
• This should be accompanied with a public involvement program that enga ges the community in the process as well as
provides future public involvement forums to keep the community in the loop as we meet and change goals.
o Provide summaries and analysis of all public input.
Phase Two – Strategic Action Plan
• Incorporate the targets and ideas from Phase 1 into a strategic Action Plan.
• Conduct an internal and external scan, i.e., looking at or reviewing, the community’s resources, strengths and assets in
light of trends and influences affecting the community.
o Internal scan would include an inventory of community resources, e.g., the area’s resources and finances, people,
health, education, business and job opportunities, housing, art and culture, leisure, recreation and entertainment,
and geography.
o External scan would look at what is happening outside of the community on a local, regional and national level that
may affect a community, e.g., demographics, economy and lifestyle trends.
• Describe the overall strategy and identify key challenges and opportunities.
• Develop an action plan and establish implementation steps and schedule.
• Establish benchmarks or milestones that measure the area’s progress throughout the Community Development Planning
process.
This RPS covers phase 1 and 2 of a multi-phased project that will include a land use and zoning study, with potential updates to
capital facilities plans, transportation system plan, park plan and park facility development, and other sub area planning.
