WHAT THEY WANT
(Summarized from the RFP)
The California Department of Water Resources is seeking a contractor to provide data processing, printing and mailing services for its Flood Risk Notification (FRN) Program under a three-year agreement anticipated to begin in January 2027. The FRN Program is mandated by section 9121 of the California Water Code and communicates flood risk to residents living behind state-federal levees in the Central Valley, delivering notices, educational material and situational awareness at the start of each water year. The program typically sends more than 300,000 notices a year.
