RFP Hazard Mitigation

Park County Government is seeking qualified contractors to update the current multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) for Park County, which involves the Town of Alma, Town of Fairplay, and several fire and ambulance districts in Colorado. The project aims to meet requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, 44 CFR Part 201.6, and align with the 2023 State of Colorado Hazard Mitigation Plan and FEMA guidelines. The contractor will be responsible for facilitating the planning process through four key stages: organizing resources, hazard identification and risk assessment, developing a mitigation strategy, and plan adoption, monitoring, and evaluation. The evaluation criteria will include cost (15 points), specialized experience (15 points), proposed methodology (10 points), performance record (10 points), ability to perform within specified time (20 points), overall impression (10 points), project understanding (10 points), and sub-consultant qualifications (10 points). Proposals are due by February 6, 2025, with an anticipated contract award in February 2025 and project commencement in March 2025, with a final draft submission deadline of October 2025.

The procurement is funded through grant funds from the Colorado Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, with the contract award contingent on fund release. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondents are explicitly mentioned, contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and professional liability/errors and omissions insurance. Progress payments will be made upon submission of detailed invoices, with the final payment issued upon receipt of the FEMA-approved plan in hardcopy and electronic formats. The project involves Pitkin County (FIPS Code 08097) as part of the multi-jurisdictional approach, though the primary soliciting agency is Park County Government. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and no specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated. The contractor will need to integrate the new HMP with existing emergency management infrastructure and FEMA planning guidelines.
