Description: The purpose of this Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) is to solicit proposals from organizations interested in partnering in the establishment of a center for science and resilience in New York City's Jamaica Bay. This high-level research center, most likely located on public parklands within the Bay area, would focus initially on coordinating disparate scientific efforts now being undertaken there by public, private and non-profit entities. The goal of the Center would be to support the development of strategies for future restoration and protection of the Bay's ecology and enhancement of the resilience of the urban-ecological system of the Bay and its surrounding neighborhoods. While the specific roles and responsibilities of the respective public and private partners are yet to be determined, it is envisioned that a qualified private or non-profit partner will operate the Center on a day-to-day basis. This role will include identifying, implementing, and supporting priority studies necessary to understand the complexity of this particular urban ecosystem as well as facilitating the sharing of scientific information that would prove useful as a foundation for the development of resilience strategies for the City as a whole and for other coastal communities. All parties interested in obtaining a complete copy of the 30 page (5.2MB.pdf file) RFEI (complete with color site pictures as well as location, watershed and ownership maps) can access the document by pasting either of the following links into your web browser: http://www.nps.gov/gate/parkmgmt/upload/Jamaica_Bay_Science_and_Resilience_Center_RFEI_Final_07-17-12.pdf OR http://www.nyc.gov/html/planyc2030/downloads/pdf/jamaica_bay_science_and_resilience_center_rfei.pdf As cited on Page 8 interested respondents can submit questions regarding this RFEI by e-mail only to: jamaicabayrfei@happoldconsulting.com End of Description
