Project Manager - Tuolumne County Wildfire Mitigation Home Hardening Grant Project

Tuolumne County (the “County”) has been awarded a substantial federal grant to improve community resiliency in high fire risk areas by making property-specific home hardening improvements to residential structures as well as improving the defensible space (landscaping) around them. With preliminary property assessments completed, the next phase requires a full-time project manager to coordinate resources and activities in order to fulfill the grant objectives on approximately 415 qualified properties within the 2-3 year remaining timeline of the grant.

The Project Manager may be an independent individual or member of a professional services firm, but is expected to be a single, dedicated resource to provide continuity in this role rather than a rotating assignment among several members of a staffing team provided by a project management firm. Bidders should estimate based on a traditional full-time Monday-Friday work schedule with regular office hours and on-site time in the project areas, with potential for extensions based on weather, construction contractor availability, or other environmental conditions.

In partnership with California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) and the County of Tuolumne, the California Wildfire Mitigation Program, Home Hardening Grant Initiative objectives are to reduce the threat to life and property in our community's urban/wildland interface. Tuolumne County Office of Emergency Services ("Program Director") will serve as the lead implementing agency. The Grant funded Project will serve Ponderosa Hills / Mira Monte subdivisions with a goal of hardening approximately 415 homes during the span of the Project.
