Giles County, located in Virginia, is soliciting proposals from qualified firms to develop a comprehensive county-wide flood resilience capacity building and planning initiative. The primary objective is to create a strategic planning document that will guide flood preparedness and resilience strategies for the entire county. Qualified firms must demonstrate expertise in environmental planning, risk assessment, and community resilience methodologies. The proposal should include a detailed approach to developing a comprehensive flood resilience plan, outlining potential mitigation strategies, risk analysis, and community engagement techniques. The solicitation requires firms to submit comprehensive proposals that demonstrate technical capability, relevant experience, and a clear understanding of flood preparedness challenges. The proposal submission deadline is February 17, 2026, with the opportunity initially posted on November 25, 2025. Potential respondents should carefully review all requirements and prepare detailed submissions that address the county's specific needs for flood resilience planning.

While the specific procurement does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements, interested firms should be prepared to demonstrate their qualifications and technical capabilities. The proposal should include a robust methodology for developing the flood resilience plan, potentially incorporating advanced geographic information systems (GIS), climate modeling, and community risk assessment tools. Although a specific budget range is not provided, firms should anticipate developing a comprehensive planning document that requires significant technical expertise and community engagement resources. The procurement appears to be open to a wide range of consulting and planning firms with demonstrated experience in environmental resilience, emergency preparedness, and community planning. Respondents should be prepared to provide detailed project timelines, team qualifications, and a clear approach to developing a strategic flood preparedness framework for Giles County.
