2027 Chittenden County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) seeks a qualified consulting firm (or consortium) to develop and obtain FEMA approval for an updated multi‑jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan covering 18 municipalities in Chittenden County. The consultant will perform all substantive planning work—including data collection, hazard risk assessment, stakeholder engagement, GIS mapping, mitigation strategy development, and preparation of adoption packages—while providing minimal staff support to the municipalities. The project must be completed within a $130,000 fixed‑price ceiling and an anticipated 12‑month schedule, with the final plan adopted by the participating jurisdictions by October 2027. • Develop a FEMA‑compliant County‑wide hazard mitigation plan and 18 municipal annexes. • Conduct data review, hazard identification, risk assessment, and capability assessments. • Lead public and stakeholder engagement, produce engagement materials, and document input. • Produce GIS maps, mitigation goals, action tables, and adoption packages for each jurisdiction. • Manage project schedule, deliverables, and coordination with CCRPC, VEM, and FEMA. • Submit monthly progress reports and invoices; final deliverables must meet accessibility standards.
