Regional Planning Commission is requesting proposals from qualified contractors to implement the recommendations of the 2017 JLUS for Keesler AFB and NCBC-Gulfport

A grant from the US Department of Defense, Office of Economic Adjustment has been awarded for implementation of priority recommendations from the two joint land use studies (JLUS) completed in 2017 for Keesler Air Force Base (Keesler AFB) and Naval Construction Battalion Center Gulfport (NCBC).

To assist with compatible development, the Gulf Coast JLUS for both installations recognized similar needs and proposed actions:

• Implement community and public outreach on key issues of safety;
• Create tools and practices that allow the local governments to make informed decisions on growth and development in proximity to safety and noise zones;
• Formalize the procedures of notification of development in close proximity to military operations; and
• Maintain access and mobility in and around the military operations.

The 2018 Request for Proposals as well as the 2017 JLUS documents and related materials are available on www.grpc.com. The implementation project is referred to as the Gulf Coast JLUS . The timeframe for completion of the work is twelve (12) to eighteen (18) months from date of execution of the contract.

The Gulf Regional Planning Commission (GRPC) will receive proposals from interested Contractors until 5:00pm (Central), Wednesday, May 23, 2018. Proposals shall be mailed or delivered to:
