Professional Services for Sustainability Projects

The City of Pompano Beach seeks to engage qualified professional services to advance sustainability and resilience initiatives. This RFQ aims to select firm(s) with proven expertise in engineering, urban planning, vulnerability assessment, adaptation planning, biodiversity enhancement, natural resource conservation, green stormwater infrastructure, urban forestry planning, and sustainability policy integration.
This RFQ intends to approve a list of firms rather than awarding the contract to any specific firm. The City plans to engage up to 8 firms for professional services to advance sustainability and resilience initiatives. This approach allows us to leverage the expertise of multiple firms, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives and solutions. By collaborating with these selected firms, we aim to enhance our efforts in developing and implementing effective strategies that promote sustainability and resilience within our community. The selected firms shall demonstrate specific experience and capabilities and must have qualified personnel and expertise in the specified disciplines.
