City of St. Petersburg Comprehensive Vulnerability Study, Assessment, and Resilience Plan

The City of St. Petersburg is seeking qualified firms to develop a comprehensive resilience strategy and conduct a vulnerability assessment aimed at addressing environmental, social, and economic threats associated with climate change. The project involves two main components: a Vulnerability Study and Assessment, which entails researching and evaluating the city's critical assets to identify vulnerabilities in accordance with state requirements, and the development of a Resilience Plan that incorporates community and stakeholder engagement. The plan will outline strategies for adaptation, implementation frameworks, and funding pathways to enhance the city's resilience against long-term climate risks. The city may select separate firms for each component or a single firm to handle both, depending on their discretion. The contract, identified as RFQ-25-067, has a budget range between $500,000 and $2,000,000 and is open for responses until February 27, 2025. The project is managed under the NAICS code 541330, indicating consulting services related to engineering and technical consulting. The primary point of contact is Gabriella DiPiazza, reachable via email or phone. The procurement process emphasizes the submission of detailed qualifications using the Standard Form 330, which is a federal requirement for assessing the competence and experience of architect-engineer firms. This comprehensive approach aims to ensure that the selected firm possesses the necessary expertise to guide the city through climate resilience planning, ultimately fostering a more adaptive and sustainable urban environment.
