The Mendocino County Executive Office requests proposals to retain an experienced and qualified consultant firm to assist with updating the Mendocino County operational area multi-jurisdictional, multi-hazard local mitigation plan, and the County’s General Plan Safety Element. The County desires to utilize one consultant for both plan updates resulting in a consistent approach to the two plan updates.

This project will result in a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-approved update to the Mendocino County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), as well as an update to the Mendocino County General Plan Safety Element in compliance with Assembly Bill AB2140 integrating the updated Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), into the Safety Element in the County’s General Plan. In accordance with Senate Bill SB379, climate change adaptation and resilience is required is required to be addressed in the updated Safety Element. The remainder of the County’s General Plan will also need to be reviewed for consistency with the updated Safety Element. This project will result in a linkage/incorporation of both the Safety Element and the Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). As noted above, because the two plans are so interwoven, the County is seeking one consultant to prepare both updates.
