The City of Fowler is seeking a subcontractor to conduct a Community and Socioeconomic Impact Assessment using the Healthy Places Index metrics to evaluate how proposed projects affect local populations. The assessment will analyze key socioeconomic indicators such as poverty rates, unemployment levels, linguistic isolation, and other factors that influence community health and equity. The work is focused on the city of Fowler, California, with a zip code of 93625, and requires the contractor to provide detailed reporting on how these metrics reflect community well-being and disparities. This effort supports informed decision-making by grounding project evaluations in standardized, data-driven public health and socioeconomic indicators. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541611, indicating it involves scientific research and development services, specifically in the area of social science research and analysis. It is posted as a subcontract, suggesting it supports a larger project or initiative under another primary contract or funding stream. The solicitation was posted on June 17, 2026, and detailed information is available via the CEQA Net project link. The assessment must deliver actionable insights that help the City of Fowler understand the disproportionate impacts on vulnerable populations and guide equitable development strategies. No set-aside provisions are specified, and while the point of contact details are not provided, the work is expected to align with state-level environmental and community planning standards.
