Maine Inland Flood Risk Model

The State of Maine, through the Maine Office of Community Affairs and the State Resilience Office, has issued Request for Information RFI 202609155 to gather market research on future-informed inland floodplain modeling and mapping services. The objective is to obtain scientifically defensible projections of future flood risk for all non-coastal areas of Maine to support emergency management, infrastructure design, and community resilience planning. The agency is seeking information on the delivery of fluvial and pluvial models, digital maps, and input data covering various planning horizons such as 2030, 2050, and 2070, as well as specific annual exceedance probabilities and emissions scenarios. All proposed methodologies must align with the Maine Climate Council’s 2026 Interim Climate Science Report and Maine’s Climate Plan, with quality control standards comparable to FEMA Risk MAP. Deliverables must include descriptive workflows to ensure reproducibility and be provided for free and public access on State websites. This RFI is strictly for information gathering and market research; it is not a formal solicitation, no award will be made from this process, and respondents are explicitly prohibited from providing specific cost or customized pricing documentation. Responses must be submitted via the Vendor Self Service System by December 18, 2026, and must include the completed Appendix A Response Cover Page.
