Dive Brief:
The city of Orlando, FL is seeking a consultant who will help create and coordinate a smart city master plan and roadmap, according to a request for proposals (RFP) issued by the city.
According to the RFP, the city "intends to define what 'smart city' means to Orlando," and wants a plan that will touch on areas including public safety, transportation, waste and utilities, among others. Speaking to the Orlando Sentinel, Smart City Project Coordinator Michael Hess said the government also wants "a road map with actionable projects," although it has not defined any specific project goals.
Responses are due in July with the goal of picking a consultant by early fall and developing a plan before next summer.
