Flooding Dynamic Modeling Tools for Optimized Planning Phase II

The Chatham County-Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) on behalf of the Coastal Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (CORE MPO) is requesting proposals to expand Phase I flood modeling tools to inform the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and other planning processes that will include the new portion of the MPO boundary. These tools will ensure the MTP's goal of enhancing the resiliency and security of the transportation system by encompassing considerations such as project prioritization, land use, environment, economy, community livability, and equitable improvements to disadvantaged communities. Phase II will expand out to the new areas in the CORE MPO Metropolitan Planning Area boundary for Bryan County and Effingham County. Expected products will include an inventory of available stormwater data and models of MPO jurisdictions, improved online vulnerability GIS application in the expanded MPO boundary, training module for planners in CORE MPO jurisdictions on how to use study products, and an infrastructure strategy guide with a financial component to identify cost requirements to mitigate stormwater runoff challenges in Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) projects. Please submit the written questions through Kieron Coffield at coffieldk@thempc.org.
