Summary of Specifications:
Launched in 2014, Wildfire Partners is a nationally recognized, collaborative program to reduce wildfire risk. Homeowners, with the assistance from Wildfire Partners, work to better protect their homes by actively creating and maintaining defensible space and reducing the ignitability of their structures. The program is funded by participating homeowners, Boulder County, a $1.5 million grant from the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, and a $1.125 million grant from FEMA. Homeowners apply to join the program. Applications that meet all program criteria are accepted into the program if funding is available.
Boulder County is issuing four Requests for Proposals to help implement Wildfire Partners: 1) Wildfire Mitigation Specialists, 2) Wildfire Phone Advising, 3) Forestry Contractors, and 4) Handyman/Handywoman and Home Retrofit Contractors. A contractor may apply to more than one of these RFPs; however, they may only receive one award. Specifications and a sample contract with a FEMA specific addendum are attached. The successful proposer shall execute the attached addendum as part of any contract with the county, and comply with all FEMA requirements set forth in that addendum.
