The government authority in Washington is seeking a vendor to develop a comprehensive Community Wildfire Protection Plan. The scope of work includes gathering and consolidating data from existing resources, relevant partners, and prior documents, including fire history, GIS layers, and information on previous and planned fuels treatments. Vendors will be responsible for assessing the accuracy of all data sources and reviewing wildfire-related documentation in detail.

Additionally, the selected provider will develop a public-facing GIS web map, conduct an initial assessment to create a base map identifying at-risk values, and document feedback gathered during the review and revision process. A more detailed assessment will be required at the fire district level, utilizing fire modeling to determine risk, analyze protection capabilities, and prioritize fuel reduction areas. Drafting recommendations for defensible space, home hardening measures, and suggestions for integrating these measures into code language are key deliverables.

The process must be collaborative, integrating input from multiple stakeholders, and resulting in actionable strategies to reduce wildfire risks and protect vital infrastructure and populated areas.
