RFP - Community Outreach and Equity Assessment
Published on August 02, 2024
City of Suisun City Recreation, Parks and Marina Department (City) invites qualified consulting firms or individuals to submit a proposal to conduct community outreach and an equity assessment report for the Suisun City Public Fishing Dock Planning Project. The City is seeking to engage with a consultant to guide community outreach with relevant stakeholder groups and community members to inform the public on the project, and to create an Equity Assessment Report to ensure the design of the fishing dock project reflects the needs of disadvantaged communities and community of colors in the area.
On January 24, 2024, The City was awarded funding for the Suisun City Public Fishing Dock Planning Project by the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy through the Proposition 68 Community and Economic Enhancement Grant Program. The Project is a response to the community's long-standing concerns about the current state of the fishing infrastructure. The existing fishing dock is in disrepair and lacks accessibility, forcing anglers to fish off the Suisun Slough basin or adjacent sidewalks.
The entire project will involve the community outreach, equity assessment, planning, and design for a new 12-foot by 100-foot public fishing dock on the Suisun Slough, located at 701 Civic Center Blvd., behind and north of Suisun City Hall. The site is adjacent to an existing parking lot, providing convenient access for visitors. The GPS coordinates for the location are Latitude 38.238837, Longitude -122.037499. This project will not only offer a designated and safe space for fishing but also support tourism and recreation within the community. The new fishing dock will serve as a hub for recreational and educational activities, promoting environmental education and providing public access to the Suisun Slough and Marsh areas.
This RFP addresses the community outreach and equity assessment portion of the project, and takes into consideration that the project will take place in a Severely Disadvantaged Community (SDAC), defined as a community with a median household income less than 60 percent of the statewide average. The project will include working with the City on appropriate communication channels to inform public on the project, facilitation of community meetings and/or focus groups, the development of a community wide survey, and the construction of a formal equity assessment report for the project to ensure its design bests serves the needs of the community.
