CITY OF NORTHAMPTON REQUEST FOR ROPOSALS
MVP 2.0 VENDOR
OVERVIEW
The City of Northampton, acting through its Office of Planning and Sustainability, seeks proposals from qualified individuals or firms to assist the City in improving its engagement in community planning
within “climate vulnerable” populations through social equity-centered project facilitation. The selected
Vendor will work with the City to implement a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) 2.0 Grant
award from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. The MVP 2.0 Grant
program includes a prescriptive three phase scope of work that the selected Vendor will assist the City in
accomplishing over a two- year period. For the purposes of this program, climate vulnerable populations
include Environmental Justice (EJ) populations and other priority populations that may be
disproportionately impacted by climate change due to life circumstances that systematically increase
their exposure to climate hazards or make it harder to respond. In addition to factors that contribute to
EJ status (i.e. income, race, and language), other factors like physical ability, access to transportation,
health status, housing, and age shape whether someone or their community will be disproportionately
affected by climate change.

Northampton MVP 2.0 Vendor RFP 1
I. SUMMARY
The City of Northampton is seeking a Vendor to assist the City in improving its engagement in
community planning within “climate vulnerable” populations through social equity-centered
project facilitation. The selected Vendor will work with the City to implement a Municipal
Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) 2.0 Grant award from the Massachusetts Executive Office of
Energy and Environmental Affairs. The MVP 2.0 Grant program includes a prescriptive three
phase scope of work that the selected Vendor will assist the City in accomplishing over a two-year
period. For the purposes of this program, climate vulnerable populations include Environmental
Justice (EJ) populations and priority populations that may be disproportionately impacted by
climate change due to life circumstances that systematically increase their exposure to climate
hazards or make it harder to respond. In addition to factors that contribute to EJ status (i.e.
income, race, and language), other factors like physical ability, access to transportation, health
status, and age shape whether someone or their community will be disproportionately affected
by climate change.
MVP 2.0 expands on the climate resilience work the City of Northampton has done in recent years
identifying the municipalities’ vulnerabilities to climate change and becoming more prepared to
address them through several infrastructure projects. Past work focused largely on
understanding how extreme weather events will impact infrastructure assets and the physical
and ecological environment. The intent of the MVP 2.0 program is to focus on the social impacts
of climate change and build needed social resilience to address them. This process will include
exploring factors that make people more vulnerable to climate change and improve their
resilience to it. It will involve digging deeper into issues such as food security, housing
affordability, transportation access, and others. To learn more about ongoing climate change
preparedness projects in Northampton visit:
The MVP 2.0 process will involve bringing together a Core Team with strong connections to
communities in Northampton that will be most impacted by climate change, and a primary
Vendor or Vendor team with skills and experience in equity-centered project facilitation,
community-driven processes, and climate and community resilience. This RFP is for the
selection of the primary Vendor or Vendor team.
The Vendor scope of work is broken down into three phases designed to be completed over two
years. It takes time to build new relationships, expand involvement of the broader community,
and work together to implement a project. The primary Vendor will be involved in all phases to
support and guide the process, with the exception of implementing the Seed Project.
The MVP 2.0 program expands on the climate resilience work Northampton has done to date
and supports them with new methods, tools, and resources for building climate resilience. In
particular, the Vendor will support the City in revisiting its MVP Resilience Action Plan with a
focus on equity and translating those priorities into action through project development and
implementation. The MVP program does this through:
• Convening a community team to lead equitable climate resilience work;
• Providing training on strategies for building climate resilience, equity, and climate justice;
• Revisiting resilience priorities with the involvement of the wider community and a
stronger assessment of social vulnerability and resilience;
• Helping the municipality and community to co-develop and implement a project
that builds community resilience, with guaranteed funding for implementation; and
• Providing a process that can be replicated for future, competitive MVP Action Grants.
Northampton MVP 2.0 Vendor RFP 2
II. SCOPE OF WORK
The Vendor will be responsible for helping the community implement Steps 1–7 in the MVP
2.0 Process Guide.
Phase 1 - Develop a Core Team
The vendor will convene and oversee a Core Team, comprised ofof municipal staff/volunteers and
community members who will lead the MVP process along with the vendor. Half of the Core Team
members will be community liaisons – members of the community or region who have strong
connections with Environmental Justice (EJ)1 and other priority populations2 who will lead outreach
to these communities throughout the process and who will be compensated for their time by the
vendor with grant funding. As part of Phase 1, the City and the Vendor will investigate lived expertise
in the community to identify perspectives that will be important to include on our Core Team.
1 Environmental Justice (EJ) Populations are defined in the 2021 EJ Policy and can be viewed
in the MA EJ viewer.
2 Other priority populations are people or communities in addition to mapped EJ populations
who may be disproportionately impacted by climate change due to life circumstances that
systematically increase their exposure to climate hazards or make it harder to respond. In
addition to factors that contribute to EJ status (i.e., income, race, and language), other factors
like physical ability, access to transportation, health status, and age shape whether someone or
their community will be disproportionately affected by climate change.
For background on Northampton’s climate resilience planning efforts, see the City’s MVP Resilience
Action Plan developed for the MVP Program, and other resilience and regeneration documents at
https://northamptonma.gov/2069/Climate
Northampton MVP 2.0 Vendor RFP 3
The full Core Team will receive training to lead climate resilience work and support climate
justice in the community and the region. It’s expected that Phase 1 will take about five months
(August – December of Year 1). A stipend for Community Liaison members is provided in the
budget, and the vendor will be responsible for payments to the Liaisons.
Phase 2 - Revisit resilience priorities
Building on the City’s previous climate planning projects (MVP 1.0), the Core Team facilitated
by the Vendor, will dig deeper into the factors that contribute to social vulnerability and
resilience for people who live and work in the community. This step will involve connecting
with EJ and other priority populations in the community or region and investigating
community and climate data to identify community resilience needs. Then, the Core Team will
revisit the City’s community resilience priorities from MVP Planning 1.0 to make sure they
reflect any progress, new information, as well as updated understanding of community
resilience needs. It’s expected that Phase 2 will take about five months (January – May of Year
1).
Phase 3 - Develop and implement a Seed Project
A Seed Project is a project selected by the Core Team that will advance the community’s
resilience priorities, and that can be completed in 9-10 months. In Phase 3, the Core Team will
develop a project idea, vet that idea with the community, develop an implementation plan, and
implement the Seed Project. The MVP 2.0 process finishes by reflecting on what went well and
how it will adjust the approach for future MVP Action Grants or other resilience efforts. The
actual implementation of the Seed Project will be covered under separate procurement and will
be allotted $50,000 of grant funding. The responsibility of the Vendor being hired through this
RFP will be to help the City select a Seed Project and build out the implementation plan. It does
not include actual implementation of the Seed Project or the final reflection upon completion.
It’s expected that Phase 3 will take about thirteen months (May - June of the following year).
