Approval to award RFQ 2025-009 for the annual contract for Community Rating System (CRS) and Climate Resilience Support Services to TetraTech, Inc. of Stuart, Florida for an amount of up to $100,000.00 annually. 

The Community Rating System (CRS) score affects the whole city.   The score the City receives, along with compliance with requirements, can mean lower insurance costs citywide.  The Building Department works diligently to maintain a good score, but the City would benefit further with the assistance of professionals specializing in the expertise to excel in this area. The City is also interested in undertaking additional climate resilience initiatives. In order to achieve these goals, the Building Department offered RFP 2025-009, which was sent to 959 vendors. Twenty-seven (27) vendors requested specifications with four (4) responding (14.81%) 0 “No Bid” (14.81 % total responses).
