Wyoming County Multi-Jurisdictional All-Hazard Mitigation Plan
INFORMATION FOR RESPONDENTS
Multi-Jurisdictional All-Hazard Mitigation Plan
Overview
The Wyoming County Office of Emergency Services (WCOES) requests proposals from
consultants to develop an All-Hazard Mitigation Plan for Wyoming County. The Plan will be
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA
2000) and specifically implementing regulations 44 CFR, Part 201.6 – Local Mitigation Plans.
Proposals must be made in accordance with the instructions herein and subject to stated
conditions. Submission of a proposal will be evidence that all the requirements of the specifications
are understood and accepted.
Project Management
The WCOES will be the administrative agent for the plan. As such, management of and contract
administration for the plan are the primary responsibilities of the staff of the County Emergency
Services Office.
Wyoming County Information Technology, Planning Department, Real Property and Economic
Development Departments will also be an active participant in the planning process. These
departments will take an active role in providing available data, background information, and
existing reports as necessary to the consultant to assist in the preparation of the Plan.
The above-mentioned departments will provide existing relevant GIS datasets to the consultant
for the purposes of plan development. Any new datasets created by the consultant in preparing
the All-Hazard Mitigation Plan shall be provided to WCOES in an ESRI Geodatabase or
Shapefile format that seamlessly integrates into the county’s GIS system. All data created for the
planning, and submitted to WCOES becomes the property of Wyoming County. All data will be
entered in the New York State MitigateNY platform.

The County may consider informal any proposal not prepared and submitted in accordance with
the provisions hereof, and may waive any informalities or reject any or all proposals. Any
proposal may be withdrawn prior to the scheduled time for the opening of proposals or
authorized postponement thereof. Any proposal received after the time and date specified will
not be considered and will be returned unopened. Proposals may not be withdrawn within forty-
five (45) days after the actual date of opening.
Proposals delivered prior to the scheduled opening date will be deemed received upon the day of
the actual opening, and will be retained in the interim only as a courtesy to the respondent.
All materials and documents submitted by the respondent in response to the RFP will become the
property of Wyoming County, and will not be returned. Wyoming County is a tax-exempt entity.
Exemption certificates will be executed upon request.
Award
The award will be based in part on an analysis of the following criteria: technical and esthetic qualities of the
proposal, reliability, firm’s ability and facilities to provide the service called for, evaluation of the firm’s
proper understanding of the County’s needs, and price. The contract shall be awarded to the responsible firm
who best meets the RFP’s criteria in the opinion of the County. Notice of award will come from WCOES
Director. Additional selection factors may be included under the “Specifications” section of this RFP.
The firm must provide unquestionable evidence of sustained capability of providing the services
requested and proposed, such as can be demonstrated in existing or previous operations.
The County may award a contract based upon the proposals received, without discussion of such
proposals with firms. Each proposal should, therefore, be submitted in the most favorable
terms the firm can make to the County. The County of Wyoming does, however, reserve the
right to request additional data or an oral presentation in support of the written proposal. Firms
should be prepared to provide a presentation within two weeks of the submission deadline.
Submission of a proposal does not automatically qualify a firm for a presentation. The County
reserves the right to negotiate with all qualified firms.
The County of Wyoming, in accordance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964 and New York State Executive Law affirmatively ensures that the contract will be awarded
without discrimination on the grounds of race, creed, color, disability, marital status, age, sexual
orientation or natural origin.

all the circumstances and conditions affecting their proposal. Failure on the part of any
respondent to make such examination and to investigate thoroughly shall not be grounds for any
declaration that the respondent did not understand the terms and conditions therein. The County
of Wyoming shall not be liable for any costs associated with the preparation, transmittal, or
presentation of any response or materials submitted to the RFP.

right to reject any proposal where said investigation does not satisfy the County of the
respondent’s qualifications or ability to carry out the obligations of the contract and to complete
the services contemplated herein.

Communications with the County shall be solely through the officials indicated below. Firms are
