Greening Plan Development Service

The government authority located in New York is seeking a vendor to provide a greening plan development service. The agency needs to solve the problem of managing and updating its natural capital data while establishing a strategic roadmap for climate resilience. The project covers conducting a comprehensive GIS inventory of natural capital through a multi-layered ecosystem mapping approach that aligns with existing national geospatial platforms. The selected consultant must establish an institutionalized Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification data management mechanism based on open data standards. This mechanism will manage the GIS inventory and allow the city to update data in a sustainable manner in the future. The agency also requires the development of a comprehensive Greening Plan to serve as an operational roadmap integrating climate risk diagnoses, strategic prioritization of nature-based solutions, and institutional governance frameworks. Bidders must ensure the transfer of skills to municipal staff, local partners, and community members regarding the use of GIS tools, techniques, and climate monitoring and evaluation. Eligibility is restricted to onshore USA organizations only. The agency expects the performance of the work to occur offsite. The agency accepts digital response submissions via email or online. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this initiative. The source document does not specify evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
