Request for Proposals - Consultant Services

Social and Racial Equity Component of Sustainability Planning Process
Long Island Regional Planning Board (LIRPB), Syosset NY
Submittal Deadline: August 21, 2008 

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Long Island Regional Planning Board (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, declining amount of 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.

A goal of the Long Island 2035 Sustainability Plan is to strive for
regional equity as a core concern: such that all analysis and
recommendations shall consider the entire region, including all
communities and all people, and guard against policies and actions that
will produce racial or class disparate impacts, or perpetuate racial or
class segregation.

The goal of this solicitation is to engage a qualified consultant to
assist the LIRPB in addressing the social and racial equity goals of its
sustainability planning process.  The consultant will work with the
LIRPB to conduct a program on the role of equity in regional planning
and assist in an advisory capacity to the LIRPB in the selection, review
and oversight of the consultants for the Long Island 2035 Sustainability
Plan to assure completeness of the equity component.
