Bid Description:
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) is developing an Environmental Justice (EJ) Mapping Tool as mandated by Act 154 of 2022 (Vermont Environmental Justice Law), the state’s first law specifically meant to address environmental health disparities and improve the health and well-being of all Vermonters.
While a separate Geographic Information Systems (GIS) RFP is intended to procure a contractor to develop this mapping tool, this RFP seeks a contractor (or team) to design and implement a robust outreach and community engagement program. This program will ensure that community insights inform the mapping tool’s development and enhance its relevance, accuracy, and utility. Outreach and engagement must be integrated in the mapping tool development process to form a cohesive, interdisciplinary outcome. Collaboration between these two roles is essential for creating a tool that truly serves Vermont’s environmental justice goals. The GIS contractor will be ultimately responsible for building and designing the tool; however, the community engagement contractor’s work will directly inform its development.
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources operates its programs, services, and activities without discriminating on the basis of race, religion, creed, color, national origin (including language), ancestry, place of birth, disability, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or breastfeeding. We will not tolerate discrimination, intimidation, threats, coercion, or retaliation against any individual or group because they have exercised their rights protected by federal or state law. To file a discrimination complaint, for questions, free language services, or requests for reasonable accommodations, please contact ANR’s Nondiscrimination Coordinator at ANR.CivilRights@vermont.gov or visit ANR’s online Notice of Nondiscrimination.
