Waterfront_Bridgeport_Plan_2017.pdf

The government file "Waterfront_Bridgeport_Plan_2017.pdf" relates to the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's climate resilience planning efforts, specifically connecting to the Citywide Climate Resilience Plan (RFP PEX01426A). The project aims to develop a comprehensive strategic roadmap for climate preparedness through 2035, with proposals due on November 5, 2025, at 2:00 pm. Key interim dates include a question submission deadline of October 22, 2025, and a question response deadline of October 28, 2025. The plan will take a neighborhood-focused approach, addressing four resilience categories: infrastructure, social, environmental, and economic resilience.

Funded through CT DEEP's Climate Resilience Fund, the project will be evaluated using a 100-point scale, with points allocated as follows: relevant experience (40 points), soundness of approach (30 points), cost competitiveness (15 points), and familiarity with procedures (15 points). The initiative builds upon previous planning documents such as the 2017 Waterfront Bridgeport Plan and the 2019 Plan of Conservation and Development. Potential implementation funding may come from federal programs like FEMA's Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Program, Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant Program, and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, the project appears open to consulting firms with climate resilience planning expertise.
