The Village of Northbrook ("Village") is a suburban Chicago community of approximately 35,000 residents and a diverse economic base located in the northern section of Cook County, Illinois. The Village has a tradition of being a leader in addressing environmental issues and has become increasingly concerned about the global climate crisis.

The Village is seeking proposals from qualified environmental and planning consultant firms or teams (the "Consultant") for the preparation and presentation of a series of studies and reports (the "Study") in order to:

1. identify key local environmental characteristics, metrics for measuring key indicators and benchmarks for comparing the Village to peer communities;
2. seek input on the perceptions of the community regarding climate conditions and the urgency to respond to the crisis locally;
3. project future conditions based on alternative scenarios;
4. identify local vulnerabilities to climate change;
5. summarize the key findings of the review of the data; and
6. recommend attainable local climate action goals and strategies for the Village of Northbrook, our residents and the business community.

The Village has initially budgeted up to $40,000 for the completion and presentation of the Study.
