The City of Redwood City is seeking qualified consulting firms to conduct a comprehensive fee study for a range of municipal services and permits. The objective is to evaluate and update existing fees to reflect current regulatory requirements, operational processes, and cost recovery goals. The selected consultant will assess direct and indirect costs associated with services such as vendor permits, short-term rental registrations, planning permits, and administrative fees. The scope includes project initiation, stakeholder coordination, data collection through workshops or interviews, cost analysis, and preparation of a final user fee study report. The study aims to provide clear documentation and justification for revised fee structures, enabling the City to present updated fees to the City Council for approval. The project has an accelerated timeline, with completion targeted for August 2026, and requires expertise in municipal finance, cost analysis, and policy alignment.
