Section 1 Scope of work must include the following tasks and/or subtasks: • Facilitate a collaborative project team, including individuals from your organization, Partnership staff and board members. Also consider the role of past Future Scenarios tool developers (Ross Strategic, UW Puget Sound Institute, Common Futures, Industrial Economics) when forming this team. • Increase accessibility and facilitate application of data and findings from past phases of this project. Activities might include the following: o Improving online access to existing results and data, o Convening workshops, Targeted outreach to interested audiences (ex. Long-range planners, subject matter experts, decision-makers), or o Other ideas a proponent may suggest. • Assess the ecosystem recovery community’s interest and desire for the future of this project, including further collaboration with PSIMF. • Recommend future steps related to this project to the Partnership. PLEASE NOTE: If your proposed scope of work does not include the above-noted points, the Partnership reserves the right to reject your proposal submission. In order to encourage creativity and flexibility, we also listed work that may be included in the second section of text below. These elements are not required but could be included in an acceptable scope of work. Section 2 Scope of work may include, but is not limited to, the following examples: • Create communication materials and experiences that further integrate existing scenarios into ecosystem recovery planning and implementation and communicate multi-benefit approaches, for example: o Use scenario tools to explore and recommend suites of Human Wellbeing Vital Sign indicators and targets. o Explore tradeoffs between and across Vital Signs to inform Implementation Strategy updates, Action Agenda implementation, and future Action Agenda updates. • Collaboratively develop and explore additional targeted scenarios to understand sensitivities within the modeling tools, for example: o Develop and execute an approach to identify influential strategies from the Action Agenda using the Future Scenario suite of tools. o Expand and explore the conservation and restoration sub-model within Envision o Identify and recommend details to strategies and actions to be included in future Action Agendas. • Pilot downscaling the modeling suite to the watershed level. • Further develop narratives to highlight lived experience of individuals from underrepresented populations (ex. Tribal, overburdened community, vulnerable population, hunters/fishers, etc.). We acknowledge that details of the tasks, deliverables, and schedule may need to be informed by discussions during contract negotiation with an apparent successful bidder. Therefore, proposed Scopes of Work can include flexibility, alternative options, or placeholders, as needed while providing a detailed and feasible proposal.
