Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for
Environmental Planning Services
to develop a community-driven climate resilience plan for Wiscasset Waterfront
Introduction.
The Town of Wiscasset (hereinafter “Town”), acting as the lead agency, intends to retain a qualified environmental planning and engineering consultant(s) (hereinafter “Consultant”) to provide professional services (hereinafter “Project”) following the scope of services as outlined herein. The Town anticipates working with a single firm or consultant team but reserves the right to separate the scope of work based on proposals received. The Town has recently adopted a climate action resolution and continues to support climate activities. This project will help fulfill these goals by identifying the parts of our community most vulnerable to climate change and developing strategies for adaptation.
Background. The Town was awarded a community action grant through the community resilience partnership of the Governor's Office of Policy Innovation and the Future. The consultant’s proposal should not exceed $50,000.
Project Goals. We propose to support the facilitation of a community-driven climate resilience plan for Wiscasset’s waterfront, which will result in engineering plans for nature-based solutions at two priority areas: 1) the Town-owned Creamery Pier and 2) The Wiscasset Recreational and Commercial Piers.
Scope of Work
The Town of Wiscasset seeks proposals from qualified and experienced environmental planning and/ or engineering service providers with a specific background in developing community-driven climate resilience plans and conducting vulnerability assessments.
