The Town of Provincetown (the "Town") invites proposals from appropriately licensed and qualified multi-disciplinary teams (the "Consultant" or "Proposer," as the context requires) to provide professional services to the Town to develop a town-wide Coastal Resilience Plan.

The plan will also include Coastal Resilience Planning Policies covering adaptation and armoring policies for low-lying and eroding areas. Protection and adaptation strategies shall also be developed, particularly for the central downtown area and the Provincetown Historic District. The Plan should create a roadmap for community-wide coastal resilience, with in-depth considerations for sea level rise, storm surge / storm tide pathway projections, and erosion at multiple time intervals (2035, 2050, and 2100). For our critical infrastructure, plans and infrastructure that can be adapted over time to outlast 2100 would also be beneficial to include century to century longevity for coastal resilience.

The selected Proposer should possess the expertise and skill set needed to successfully complete all components of the project including, but not limited to, community engagement and planning, urban design, architecture, landscape architecture, graphic design, civil engineering, coastal resilience planning, hazard mitigation planning, project management, skills in written and oral communication.
