Description
The State of Maine’s Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future seeks qualified vendors to produce three inter‑related economic analyses that will underpin the Maine Climate Council’s financing and policy work on climate‑resilience. The work is organized into three distinct task packages—an updated “Cost of Doing Nothing” climate‑risk assessment (Task 1), an economic impact analysis of designated resilience investments (Task 2), and a societal‑benefit valuation of those investments (Task 3). Each task requires an interim briefing, a draft report, a final report with executive summary, and a presentation deck. Proposals are evaluated on qualifications, proposed methodology, and cost, with the lowest‑priced compliant bid receiving full cost points. The State may award one or multiple tasks, and bidders may submit proposals for any combination of tasks. Critical dates include an August 3 2026 question‑deadline and an August 18 2026 bid deadline; performance runs from September 15 2026 to February 15 2027.
• Three separate but linked tasks (scenario update, economic impact, societal‑benefit valuation).
• Deliverables per task: interim briefing, draft report, final report + executive summary, and three presentation decks.
• Evaluation criteria: 35 % qualifications, 35 % technical approach, 30 % cost (lowest bid gets full points).
• Open to all eligible vendors; multiple awards possible; proposals may cover any subset or all tasks.
