Selectmen seek proposals for community vulnerability assessment to support infrastructure funding
Summary
Selectmen announced an RFP for a community vulnerability assessment due April 3, 2026, saying the assessment will feed the capital improvement and comprehensive plans and could support future state infrastructure grant applications.
Treasurer (speaker 7) told the board the town’s year-long CRP grant project has reached the procurement stage: an RFP for a community vulnerability assessment is out to bid with proposals due April 3, 2026. She said responses will be reviewed with assistance from regional organizations and that the assessment will inform the capital improvement plan and strengthen future infrastructure grant applications.
Treasurer (speaker 7) clarified that Southern Maine Regional Planning (named in the discussion) and another regional group (SMRCC) will help review proposals; she stressed that if the town had completed the assessment earlier it might have been competitive for a recently released state infrastructure grant for a local road project. She also noted grant programs commonly require upfront assessment or design work before applications are considered.
The board encouraged interested firms to submit by the April 3 deadline; Treasurer (speaker 7) said staff will convene a committee to develop review criteria.
