Sustainability Plan for Long Island
The Long Island Regional Planning Board 
Submittal Deadline: May 7, 2008

Special Circumstances
The Long Island Regional Planning Board ("LIRPB") has been notified of
an offer of $500,000 from private donors to contribute toward McKinsey &
Company, the lead consulting firm for New York City's PlaNYC 2030, to
perform as lead consultant to complete a sustainability plan for the
LIRPB. In conjunction with these private contributions McKinsey &
Company is prepared to perform the work at rates which are discounted
from their normal commercial rates, thereby reducing the estimated
$1,500,000 to $2,000,000 cost of the project to the LIRPB. The LIRPB
invites proposals from qualified and experienced organizations and/or
businesses that believe themselves capable of meeting the requirements
of this solicitation and completing the work as set forth herein at a
competitive price.

Introduction and Overview
The LIRPB is inviting proposals to develop a plan to secure the
sustainable development of Long Island's economy and social and natural
environment over the next 25 to 30
years. The scope of the plan is a comprehensive Island-wide review,
under the leadership of the LIRPB and with the oversight of Nassau and
Suffolk Counties, in collaboration with business, environmental,
philanthropic, not-for-profit, civic and community leaders. Issues to be
studied include declining economic development, shortage of employment
leading to upward mobility, aging and inadequate physical
infrastructure, high energy costs, heavy local tax burdens, efficacy of
our K through 12 education system, lack of affordable housing, an
inadequate public transportation system, disappearing open space,
threats to the potable water supply, surface water and air quality,
global climate change and geographical segregation of the population by
age, income and race.

THE LIRPB goal is to prepare and adopt a plan along the lines of New
York City's PlaNYC 2030, www.nyc.gov/html/planyc2030
<http://www.nyc.gov/html/planyc2030> , which addresses the
sustainability of New York City. The project should reflect awareness of
the relationships between New York City and Nassau and Suffolk Counties
and particularly the need for coordinated sustainability plans to create
a cleaner, greener, greater and more socially and economically equitable
Long Island and New York Metropolitan area.
