One tech goal the city listed in its strategic plan is to “employ data-driven decision-making for holistic strategic policy development and to judiciously embrace risks and capitalize on opportunities.”
The city’s strategic plan was “developed with a five-year horizon and a new biennial planning cycle” in mind and serves as a “big-picture document directing efforts and resources toward a clearly defined vision.”
Other mentions of tech include:
- Increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of services through continued evaluation and process improvement
- Rolling out new communication tools to help facilitate deliberate and collaborative communication
- Analyzing stakeholder data obtained through community surveys
- Developing and installing alternative energy source sites and projects citywide for electric vehicle charging
As for potential vendor opportunities, the following is mentioned in the city’s strategic plan:
- The city manager’s office will soon issue an RFQ for consultants to help evaluate public-private partnerships and proposals for its government campus master plan with a focus on how to best locate city services, tactical operations center planning for the city’s Brightline station and best uses of city-owned property to serve the public.
- To further understand stakeholder needs, the city will soon partner with a national survey company to compile data from residents and businesses to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses from the community’s perspective. According to the strategic plan document, “having a national firm perform this function provides not only data from the city but can allow comparative data to cities within Florida and nationally.”
