SECTION I - GENERAL INFORMATION

A. OBJECTIVE

The City of Ann Arbor is seeking to select a qualified team with expertise in Hazard

Mitigation and Climate Resilience Planning for the development of a FEMA approved

update to the 2022 Hazard Mitigation Plan of the City of Ann Arbor by November 2027.

The 2027 plan update shall help further the city’s goal of identifying and mitigating

current and future risks to the community, its infrastructure, and its vulnerable assets

due to natural, human-caused, and climate-related hazards. The City of Ann Arbor

2027 Hazard Mitigation Plan shall serve as a guiding document that aligns with

existing city policies and plans, including our commitment to equity, authentic and

inclusive community engagement, carbon neutrality, and increasing the resilience of

our people and place, while outlining specific and actionable strategies for reducing

the impact of current and future hazards. The ultimate goal of the City of Ann Arbor

2027 Hazard Mitigation Plan is to improve the resilience of municipal and community

operations and infrastructure, enabling Ann Arborites to bounce forward in the face of

a community impact or disruption.

will then determine which, if any, firms will be interviewed. During the interviews, the

selected firms will be given the opportunity to discuss their proposal, qualifications,

past experience, and their fee proposal in more detail. The City further reserves the

right to interview the key personnel assigned by the selected offeror to this project. If
