Napa County requests proposals from qualified consultants for preparation of a comprehensive update to the General Plan for Napa County and its associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR), as well as for other planning and technical services to support development of the General Plan and EIR. It is anticipated that one firm, or a team of qualified firms, will be selected to perform all tasks related to the General Plan Update and EIR, including preparing necessary technical studies, conducting public outreach, producing plan text and illustrations, preparing the EIR, and coordinating review by the public and interested agencies.
