City-Wide Resilience Assessment and Plan

The City of Mobile issued an RFP for a comprehensive City‑Wide Resilience Assessment and Plan, funded by the City (with EPA support) and intended to guide climate‑change adaptation, sea‑level rise mitigation, and socio‑economic resilience. The scope includes: • Compilation of existing climate and sea‑level projections, exposure analysis, asset risk assessment, and policy audit. • Development of stakeholder‑engagement processes (internal teams, steering committee, external advisory groups, and community outreach). • Production of a Resilience Assessment report, a Resilience Plan, a Community Engagement Plan, and an Implementation Roadmap, plus optional interactive tools and fact sheets. • Mandatory compliance with City licensing, E‑Verify, insurance, DBE (≥15 % spend), and equal‑employment‑opportunity requirements. The solicitation required three hard‑copy copies, a 10‑page methodology narrative, and a firm‑fixed‑price cost proposal split between assessment and plan components. The contract was awarded to The Water Institute of the Gulf.
