The office of the Pikes Peak Regional Office of Emergency Management (OEM) for El Paso County is seeking “Best Value” proposals from experienced, qualified firms (Contractor) to provide a HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.
The proposed project will develop a Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) Update for El Paso County that meets the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) of 2000, 44 CFR Part 201.6, the most current Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) "how-to" planning guidance, and the most current Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP) standards. The plan will meet the most current FEMA Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool requirements. In addition, the plan will be aligned with the current State of Colorado Hazard Mitigation Plan and integrate FEMA’s Community Rating System (CRS) considerations.
The OEM is more concerned with making an award at the lowest overall price than with obtaining superior technical or management features. However, the may not necessarily make an award at the lowest price in order to achieve a small price savings if better value can be achieved with superior technical or management features. The benefits of a higher priced proposal may merit a higher price. The evaluation factors outlined in Section III.F, of the Selection Criteria, not listed in any order of importance, will be used in the evaluation of proposals.
Prequalified contractors will be placed on a list for inclusion in future solicitations in this area with similar scopes of work. There is no guarantee that a specific number of solicitations will be issued to these prequalified contractors.
The OEM objective in issuing this RFP is to provide a competitive means in which to select a single respondent to fulfill this contract. The OEM reserves the right and may award contracts to multiple contractors under this solicitation.
