The State Coastal Conservancy (¿Conservancy¿) acts to preserve, restore, and enhance California¿s coastal and marine resources, enhance their resilience to climate change, and to expand public access to the coast. The Conservancy annually updates a list of environmental, engineering, architectural, landscape architectural, construction project management, and the other consulting service providers. This year, we also invite individuals, firms, non-profits, and community groups involved with community engagement, tribal engagement, community-based restoration, traditional ecological knowledge, and other justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion topics to submit their information. The list is used in two ways: to identify consulting firms and individuals with appropriate qualifications for Conservancy consultant needs; and to help us make connections with local organizations and individuals engaged with coastal issues and communities in our jurisdiction. We welcome individuals, consultants, firms, and community groups to submit their qualifications and/or organizational information by going to https://scc.ca.gov/public-meetings/ and and filling out the Submittal Form under the Public Notices header. This submission form replaces previous years¿ RFQ form. Submittals will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. The Conservancy has developed working relationships with a number of public and private entities through its work on coastal and watershed restoration efforts over the past 45 years. Advancing environmental protection and climate adaptation work requires diverse collaborations of public and private agencies, Indigenous peoples and Tribal Nations, landowners, and community members. We aim to foster collaboration between these groups to develop creative solutions to complex coastal issues. We hope this list will increase our awareness of the many groups, organizations, and individuals that should be involved in the development and implementation of our projects. All information received will be kept on file for at least one year from the date of this request. Conservancy staff will use this information in soliciting services, as needed, for upcoming Conservancy projects. We will also use this information in efforts to increase local community connections with our projects and in providing resources to share with grantees and other partners. State certified Small Businesses (¿SB¿ including small business, minority and women-owned businesses) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (¿DVBE¿) are encouraged to submit.
