RFP for "Ready, Set, Rhody" Vulnerability Assessments - RI Commerce Corporation

The Rhode Island Commerce Corporation (“Corporation”) seeks proposals from qualified firms to assist in the development of vulnerability assessments and high-level remediation plans for up to twelve historically small business districts (“Main Street districts”) in Rhode Island that have been most vulnerable to storm-caused flooding.

This project, “Ready, Set, Rhody,” is a statewide, two-pronged effort to ensure the state’s most vulnerable Main Street districts are prepared for and able to mitigate threat that will be caused by future climate-related disasters. Rhode Island’s infrastructure is old and underprepared for the levels of stormwater that pass through now—leaving businesses susceptible to business interruption outside their control. This project will help the state clearly understand where infrastructure weaknesses are located and provide high-level recommendations for remediation of those weaknesses to better plan for resilience.
