The Community Development Administration (CDA) is seeking qualified firms to support flood mitigation planning and green infrastructure construction through two key procurement opportunities. These opportunities are part of the City’s CDBG-DR Action Plan, which directs $25.8 million in federal Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds toward addressing flood risks from the 2022 flash flooding disaster declaration and ensuring long-term resilience for St. Louis communities. Learn more about CDA’s CDBG-DR action plan and activities, go to www.stlouis-mo.gov/cda/cdbg/disaster-recovery.
The RFP focuses on developing comprehensive flood mitigation and green infrastructure plans, while the RFQ will secure a firm to manage the construction of projects identified through the planning process.
RFP: Watershed Management, Flood Mitigation, and Green Infrastructure Planning Services
This Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks firms to develop two major planning initiatives that will guide future flood mitigation and stormwater management efforts:
Regional Flood Mitigation and Green Infrastructure Plan
- Develop a citywide strategy for stormwater management, flood risk reduction, and green infrastructure investments.
- Identify high-priority areas for flood mitigation using hydrological data and the Economic Justice Index (EJI) and building on existing data (see map below).
- Align planning with MSD, LRA, Green City Coalition (GCC), East-West Gateway Council of Governments (EWGW), and Great Rivers Greenway (GRG).
