DESCRIPTION

The organization is seeking a vendor to conduct a comprehensive strategic plan and efficiency study. This project involves an in-depth operational review and the development of a strategic plan geared toward maximizing the organization's efficiency while maintaining high-quality community service delivery.

Key tasks include evaluating the current staffing structure, job descriptions, organizational chart, and reporting relationships to ensure alignment with the agency’s administrative structure. The vendor will assess workflows, decision-making processes, and communication channels, as well as review policies and service delivery practices for consistency with modern public library standards and agency regulations. Additionally, the study aims to identify current and future staffing needs, recommend modifications for improved efficiency and effectiveness, and propose ways to eliminate duplicative roles and responsibilities.

The assessment process will culminate in clear recommendations for organizational improvements, staffing changes, and service delivery strategies, along with a revised organizational structure that defines roles and responsibilities. The deliverables will also include a detailed implementation timeline with milestones for achieving key objectives. The contract period is set for one year.
