Questions Submitted 10/20/2022:
- Can the proposal be sent to the 451 School Street address or is it preferred for the consultant to send the proposal via USPS to the PO Box? Either way is fine. However, only send FedEx/UPS material to the physical address. USPS mail has to go to PO Box 67 as there is no mail delivery in Point Arena.
- Is an existing Arena Creek hydraulic model and/or recent survey available? We have a wetland delineation from a prior recent project adjacent to the creek . We are looking at a formal creek study after the delivery of the SLR study. So as much analysis of the creek that can be done with this grant, the better.
- Are the community engagement meetings expected to be in-person, virtual, or a combination? In-person is preferred but hybrid is an option. We would expect at least one meeting in-person.
- Is the additional information section included in the page limit? Additional information can be included regardless of any page limits.
- Can resumes be included in the Appendix? Yes.
