Tribes hiring consultants for brownfields assessment or cleanup projects need an effective Request for Proposals (RFP). In this session, experienced environmental professionals will discuss the basic components of an RFP, what consultants look for when bidding on a project, how to best advertise the RFP, and special requirements for work to be performed using EPA Brownfields grant funds.
