REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS - DEVELOPMENT OF A WATERFRONT ACCESS & RESILIENCE PLAN

The Town of Bowdoinham is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants interested in providing planning services to assist the Town with drafting a Waterfront Access & Resilience Plan, which will identify, evaluate, and design improvements for public fishing and paddle put-in sites across the community. Grant funds will be used to hire a qualified consultant team to conduct technical analysis, stakeholder engagement, and concept design work.

Additional deliverables include cost estimates, a prioritization matrix, and a legal and permitting pathway assessment, all compiled into a final report and implementation roadmap.
