Services Requested Planning work for the Northwest Florida Military Installation Resilience Review Contract type Time & Materials Number of Contracts One (1) Duration Eighteen (18) months Payment method Net 30 or ACH Planned duration of RFP advertisement Four weeks Deadline for questions about RFP August 19, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. Central Time Deadline for responses to questions September 2, 2022 Emerald Coast Regional Council (ECRC) is one of ten regional planning councils in the state of Florida. ECRC supports northwest Florida by planning for and coordinating intergovernmental solutions to growth-related problems, providing technical assistance to local governments, and meeting the needs of the municipalities in our seven-county region: Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Washington, and Holmes. The mission of Emerald Coast Regional Council is to preserve and enhance the quality of life in northwest Florida by providing professional technical assistance, planning, coordinating, and advisory services to local governments, state and federal agencies, and the public. The need to increase the resilience of military installations is immediate in Northwest Florida. Major hurricanes and sea level rise are the most dramatic examples, but many other climate related risks threaten the long-term sustainability of local military installations. These risks include natural hazards like shoreline erosion, increases in the frequency and intensity of tropical storms, and the risks imposed by heat, droughts, and wildfires. These hazards are compounded by man-made vulnerabilities such as incompatible urban development and infrastructure susceptible to overload or collapse in significant weather events. The Northwest Florida Military Installation Resilience Review (MIRR) will support the longterm resilience and sustainability of some of the Department of Defense's most significant military installations and the communities that support them. The MIRR will be a collaborative and strategic process that assesses the current and future resilience risks faced by the region's military installations, their respective tenant units, and the surrounding communities. Stakeholders will include county and municipal governments, military commanders, community stakeholders, educational institutions, and state and local agencies. The core purpose of the MIRR is to identify the risks, hazards, and vulnerabilities of concern. ECRC is seeking a general consultant ("Contractor") who can: 1) facilitate the stakeholder engagement process; 2) work with project participants and carry out a process to identify threats of concern; 3) conduct a vulnerability and risk assessment based on identified threats; 4) identify mitigation opportunities to reduce risk, and 5) carry out analysis and other work activities as outlined in the Scope of Work below. ECRC's role on the project will be to: 1) serve as the prime applicant for the MIRR; 2) handle required federal reporting; 3) develop an initial list of key stakeholders and resources; 4) establish and coordinate both a technical and policy committee; 5) facilitate outreach with local governments, and 6) oversee Contractor activities, assignments, and deliverables. The Method of Contractor Selection has not been determined at this time.
