PLUMAS COUNTY 2021 WILDFIRES LONG-TERM RECOVERY PLANNING

ISSUED NOVEMBER 4, 2025

DEADLINE DECEMBER 2, 2025

1. INTRODUCTION

On August 11, 2023, Plumas County executed a Standard Agreement (22-CDBG-PL-20040)

with the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) under a 2022

Planning Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) known as “Disaster Recovery Plan

for Greenville and Surrounding Fire-Impacted Rural Areas.”

This Request for Proposals (RFP) invites qualified respondents interested in providing

professional services to Plumas County associated with the 2022 CDBG Planning grant as

described in Section 3A of this RFP.

Respondents must be prepared to execute the County’s standard Services Agreement

(Attachment 1) for all work as a result of this RFP.

Respondents are, as applicable, required to comply with the CDBG terms and conditions

within the County (grantee) HCD Standard Agreement 22-CDBG-PL-20040 (Attachment 2)

and all relevant state and federal contracting procedures.

2. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

Plumas County is in the northeast area of California, where the Sierra and Cascade mountains

meet. The Feather River, with its several forks, flows through the County, and Quincy is the

unincorporated County seat located 75 miles northeast of Oroville and 85 miles west of Reno,

Nevada. State highways 36, 70, and 89 cross the County. Framed by mountain ranges

throughout with elevations ranging from 1,800 feet to 8,376 feet, the Plumas (meaning

‘feathers’ in Spanish) offers quality of life and a multitude of outdoor recreation opportunities.

The 2020 US Census population of Plumas County was 19,790, with recent estimates from

the US Census showing a decline in population to approximately 18,834 (July 1, 2024).

In the summer of 2021, two fires impacted the County of Plumas. The first, known as the

Beckwourth Complex Fire, started on July 4, 2021, and burned 105,670 acres, with structures

lost in the eastern area of the County near Frenchman Lake, Dixie Valley, and Lake Davis.

The second was the Dixie Fire, which began on July 13, 2021, and burned nearly 1 million

acres of land across five counties, Plumas being the most impacted. It burned for three months

and devastated several communities in Plumas including the Town of Greenville and Indian

Valley, Indian Falls, Canyon Dam, and Warner Valley, in addition to affecting areas of

Chester / Lake Almanor and the Highway 70 canyon.

In 2022 Plumas County, recognizing the need for long-term recovery, established a recovery

support function (RSF) working group framework to begin the process of developing a long-

term recovery plan for the 2021 wildfires to address impacts and needs concerning

infrastructure, health and social services, economic development, natural and cultural

resources, and housing and commercial buildings. Multiple community meetings were held

throughout 2023 to establish a vision and values for recovery, in addition to identifying

recovery projects. RSF working group meetings continued into 2024 and 2025, and the long-

term recovery plan is estimated to be released for public review in 2026.

PLUMAS COUNTY 2021 WILDFIRES LONG-TERM RECOVERY PLANNING

ISSUED NOVEMBER 4, 2025

DEADLINE DECEMBER 2, 2025

To better inform the long-term wildfire recovery strategy for economic development and

housing and commercial buildings, an Indian Valley, Greenville, and Canyon Dam Economic

Development Study and a Countywide Housing Assessment are needed.

The Economic Development Study will be used to evaluate current conditions and identify

targeted strategies to support a robust and sustainable economic framework for recovery in

Indian Valley, Greenville, and Canyon Dam.

The Housing Assessment complements the economic analysis by providing a clear

understanding of the affordability of market rate ‘workforce’ housing (e.g., targeted at

households earning between 80% and 120% area medium income) and subsidized ‘affordable’

housing (e.g., household earning less than 80% area median income) to the existing housing

inventory, conditions, and future needs not only in Indian Valley, Greenville, and Canyon

Dam, but throughout the County.

In addition to information readily available from local, regional, and statewide economic and

housing databases, the County and its local housing and economic development partners have

existing economic and housing data and analysis that will be helpful in executing the

Economic Development Study and Housing Assessment including, but not limited to, the
