The County of Maui is seeking qualified proposers to develop and facilitate a strategic plan for the Maui Nui Community Resilience Hub network, aiming to strengthen community-led preparedness, response, and recovery capacities across the islands of Maui Nui. The solicitation, identified as RFP 26-27/P-3, invites submissions from entities with demonstrated expertise in strategic planning, community engagement, and facilitation of multi-stakeholder resilience initiatives. Proposals must be submitted electronically through PublicPurchase.com by the deadline of August 5, 2026, at 2:00 AM Hawaii time. The selected vendor will be responsible for designing a comprehensive, inclusive, and actionable roadmap that aligns with regional resilience priorities and supports the coordination of local hubs, ensuring equitable access to resources and decision-making power for all communities. The work will be performed within the state of Hawaii, specifically targeting the Maui Nui region, which includes the islands of Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, and Kahoʻolawe. The County of Maui, as the contracting agency, will oversee the project through Kris Arisumi, who serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries and submissions.

Proposers are expected to demonstrate experience in culturally appropriate engagement with Native Hawaiian and other local communities, incorporate data-driven approaches, and outline clear deliverables including workshop plans, stakeholder alignment strategies, and final strategic documentation. The goal is to establish a durable, adaptive framework that empowers community resilience as an ongoing, locally driven process.
