Solicitation # RFP 2026-22
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services is soliciting proposals for the New Hampshire Coastal Watershed Flood Hazard Assessment and Resilience Plan Project. Funded by a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant, this initiative aims to mitigate coastal and freshwater flood risks to critical infrastructure, transportation, natural resources, and community assets within the state's coastal watershed. The project is divided into two primary phases: a Flood Hazards Assessment to identify Resilience Opportunity Areas based on asset inventories and flood exposure data, and the subsequent development of a Phase II Engagement Plan and specific action plans. The selected consultant will join a Core Project Team including the NHDES Coastal Program, DNCR, PDA, and various regional planning commissions. The contract is expected to begin in January 2027 and must be completed by June 30, 2029. The total estimated value is 393,500 dollars, consisting of a 377,000 dollar cap for project labor and expenses and 16,500 dollars in GBS engagement funds. Award selection is based on a weighted evaluation of the proposed scope of work, relevant experience, previous related work, and the realism of the project schedule and budget, rather than the lowest cost. All deliverables must adhere to ADA Title II and Section 508 accessibility standards, and the contract is governed by the Standard Terms and Conditions of the State of New Hampshire and OMB Uniform Guidance. Proposals must be submitted in PDF format by August 31, 2026.

Housing Plan Program EIR
Solicitation # 2022040209
The City of Santa Barbara is advancing its 6th Cycle Housing Element through a comprehensive programmatic environmental review process under CEQA, aimed at facilitating the approval of up to 8,010 new housing units by 2035. This initiative includes a suite of regulatory and policy reforms such as the adoption of an Adaptive Reuse Ordinance, amendments to the Average Unit-Size Density Incentive Program, updates to the Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance, and the establishment of Objective Design and Development Standards to align with state housing laws. The plan also involves revising the General Plan, Municipal Code, and Local Coastal Program to ensure consistency with state mandates and climate goals, while implementing procedural improvements to streamline permitting processes. The environmental analysis, conducted as a Program Environmental Impact Report, evaluates cumulative impacts across resource areas including air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, hazardous materials, and biological resources, using CEQA Guidelines and the City’s Climate Action Plan as foundational standards. The analysis employs qualitative greenhouse gas assessments due to the programmatic nature of the initiative and does not authorize specific developments but establishes the regulatory framework within which they may proceed. The effort is led by the City of Santa Barbara, with environmental oversight and compliance responsibilities vested in government agencies, including the California Coastal Commission, State Lands Commission, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Key points of contact include Julia Pujo, Environmental Analyst, and Chris Bersbach, Director of Environmental Planning for Rincon Consultants. The initiative’s timeline is bounded by a public review period from January 30, 2026, to March 17, 2026, with prior comment deadlines established for the Draft EIR in 2022. While the document references accounting codes and transportation regulations for hazardous materials, no formal contract pricing, payment instructions, invoicing methods, or procurement evaluation criteria are present, indicating this is a planning and environmental compliance action rather than a contracted procurement. Attachments include supporting documents such as the Community Wildfire Protection Plan and Storm Water BMP Guidance Manual, and submissions are accepted electronically or in hard copy, with PDF being the implied standard format. No representations, certifications, or clauses typical of federal contracting are included, as the focus remains squarely on regulatory alignment, environmental analysis, and policy implementation under state housing and environmental law.
