Fiscal Considerations
The Board of Leavenworth County Commissioners has allocated a
Comprehensive Plan Update budget of $60,000 with $55,000 for contractual
services and $5,000 to be used for advertisement and public meetings
costs as decided by County Staff. 

Consultant Selection Process
A committee comprised of County staff and appointed citizens will review
the proposals and qualifications submitted, interview consultants, and
check references. A score will be assigned to each proposal based upon
the information found in Table 1. That score will be used to determine
the firms selected for an on-site interview. A minimum of three firms
will be selected for on-site interviews. The submitted proposals,
reference checks and the on-site interview will be used to select a
consulting firm. The committee's recommendations will be forwarded to
the Board of Leavenworth County Commissioners for final action. If no
acceptable proposals are received Leavenworth County retains the right
to reject all previously received proposals and begin the process anew.
