1.0 INTRODUCTION REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR A JOINT LAND USE STUDY FORT BRAGG MILITARY RESERVATION, NC July 18, 2016 Mid-Carolina Council of Governments (COG), the grant recipient, is leading the effort to select a consultant to complete a Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) for the Fort Bragg region in North Carolina. The Regional Land Use Advisory Commission (RLUAC) has partnered with the COG and will assist with the selection process. 2.0 BACKGROUND Mid-Carolina COG was created in the early 1970 s under the provisions contained in the North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 160A, Sections 470-478, as an instrumentality of local government. As such it was eligible to receive funding from the Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) to conduct a JLUS. Mid- Carolina COG has designated RLUAC to oversee the management of this study. RLUAC was created in 1991, as the result of a recommendation contained in the Fort Bragg region s first JLUS. Since that time it has incorporated as a 501(c) (3) corporation and been actively involved in the conduct of two additional JLUS s (2003 and 2008). With its large local government membership (8 counties and 21 municipalities), extensive institutional knowledge of the earlier JLUS processes, Fort Bragg, and the surrounding local governments; RLUAC agreed to manage this study on behalf of Mid-Carolina COG. RLUAC s Executive Director will serve as the Project Manager, its Board of Directors will serve as the Policy Steering Committee, and the Voting Members Commission will serve as the study s Technical Advisory Committee. Fort Bragg is a major US Army installation covering an area of over 251 square miles and containing over 162,000 acres of land. It has the largest military population of any US Army post approximately 145,519 people in 2014 (including both soldiers and their dependents). Over the past thirty years Fort Bragg has experienced a huge construction boom expanding from 23 million square feet of building space in 1985 to 52.2 million square feet in 2014 (a net growth of 29.2 million square feet at an average annual expenditure rate of $188M). It is also the home of the US Army Forces Command (FORSCOM), which is collocated with the US Army Reserve Command, the XVIII Airborne 2

Corps Headquarters, the 82 nd Airborne Division, and the US Army Special Operations Command (USASOC). Additional tenant units include the 16 th Military Police Brigade, the 20 th Engineer Brigade, the 525 th Military Intelligence Brigade, the Golden Knights, the 83 rd Civil Affairs Battalion, the 108 th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, the 440 th Airlift Wing, the 44 th Medical Brigade, the Installation Management Command, the 192 nd Explosive Ordinance Disposal Battalion, the 35th Theater Tactical Signal Brigade, the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, the 18 th Field Artillery Brigade, the 10 th Military Police Battalion, the 406 th Army Field Support Brigade, the 902 nd Military intelligence Brigade, and the 82 nd Sustainment Brigade. The massive growth on Fort Bragg has spawned much private sector development in the surrounding municipalities and counties particularly in the five-mile area encircling Fort Bragg s boundaries. Much of the ensuing development (mainly in the past eight years since the last JLUS was completed) may be incompatible with the military training mission. 3.0 REFERENCE DOCUMENTS The following reference documents are available on the RLUAC website (www.rluac.com) under the Projects tab: 2003 Fort Bragg JLUS 2008 Fort Bragg JLUS 2008 Fort Bragg Region Telecom Tower Study 2009 Pope AFB Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Study 2009 Fort Bragg Long Range Component of the Master Plan 4.0 STUDY AREA For the purposes of this Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) and the sake of consistency with the 2003 and 2008 efforts and alignment with the military operations footprint, the region is defined as those six counties having land that directly abuts Fort Bragg and Camp Mackall (Cumberland, Hoke, Scotland, Richmond, Moore, and Harnett). Within those counties, the scope of this study will be limited to the land contained within five miles of the military boundaries -- an area that includes the off-installation military impacts (noise and accident potential), the land that - if developed for residential use - could become incompatible with the military training mission, and the territory included within the Zoning Changes / Notice to Military Bases law (HB 254 adopted in the 2013-2014 Session of the North Carolina General Assembly). For the telecom tower location and military aircraft flight pattern element, the study area will 3

include all of the territory contained within the six counties abutting Fort Bragg and Camp Mackall. 5.0 SCOPE OF WORK The goal of this Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) is to protect the military training mission at Fort Bragg and Camp Mackall from incompatible urban development, the health and safety of the civilian population living near the military boundaries, and the sustainability of the Longleaf Pine ecosystem within the region. To accomplish that goal, the study will include the following elements: Update the extensive GIS database developed for the 2003 and 2008 Fort Bragg JLUS processes. It will review and reclassify each and every parcel of land located within a five mile radius of the fort and Camp Mackall as Suitable for Urban Development, Suitable for Low Density Development, Important to Conserve, or Critically Important to Conserve, based on criteria developed for the 2003 and 2008 JLUS s. 4

Measure the impact of Regional Land Use Advisory Commission (RLUAC) recommendations on the actual outcome of local government planning, zoning, and subdivision decisions affecting the land surrounding the post and camp. Further, to develop a process that continually monitors local government land use decisions for all land within the five mile study area surrounding the military installations. Update the mapped Red Cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) foraging areas and make a detailed assessment of whether or not the RCW population has been stable, declining, or increasing in numbers over the past eight years. Update the maps showing the parcel locations for existing telecom towers and update the airspace surrounding the military installations as Flight Buffer Area (no additional towers), 500 Limit Area, and 1,000 Limit Area. Identify and make recommendations concerning specific climate change adaptation opportunities facing Fort Bragg, Camp Mackall, and the surrounding eight county region. 5

Identify and make recommendations concerning potential impacts of solar farms on military aircraft flight training safety. Identify and make recommendations concerning potential threats to the quality and quantity of the public water supply in the region, i.e., inter basin transfer and fracking. Seek input from the US Army and FAA to identify, map, and propose actions to protect the airspace training needs of the Army s Gray Eagle UAV s, which are being stationed at Camp Mackall. Upon completion of the above elements, the study will propose specific recommendations for the Army installation, local governments, and private property owners to follow to minimize the potential threats of incompatible urban development on the military training mission and aircraft flight patterns; the high noise and accident potential affecting the civilian population living near the military boundaries; the destruction of RCW foraging areas; and the damaging impacts of extreme weather events on the installation and region s public infrastructure. Finally, the study will develop a clear implementation plan that provides regional stakeholders with specific regulatory and non-regulatory actions and cost factors necessary to implement the study s findings and recommendations. 6.0 CONSULTANT PROPOSAL Consultants interested in responding to this RFP should submit a proposal that includes the following: An application that details a proposed scope of work that addresses the Project Elements and Deliverables detailed in Appendix A. of this document.

APPENDIX A PROJECT ELEMENTS AND DELIVERABLES 1.0 PROJECT INITIATION AND ADMINISTRATION The project team, which consists of the consultant, project manager, and Mid-Carolina COG staff, will jointly initiate the project by refining the scope of work and the specific project work plan. The work plan will include the team s approach to communication, communication protocol, stakeholder engagement, information management, and operating protocols. A JLUS project information page will be linked to both the existing RLUAC and Mid-Carolina COG websites to facilitate better communication and data sharing throughout the process. 1.1 Project Definition This subtask includes any necessary refinements to the scope of work (subject to OEA approval), project Work Plan, and/or administrative aspects of the study to ensure proper coordination with the COG and project manager. The consultant will present the final Work Plan to the RLUAC Board of Directors (Policy Steering Committee) and full Voting Commission (Technical Advisory Commission) for approval. 1.2 Stakeholder and Public Engagement This subtask is designed to encourage active participation by the stakeholders and the general public in meetings and workshops throughout the study process. The consultant will prepare a public involvement strategy that covers the key phases of the JLUS process. The public involvement strategy will include the identification of key stakeholders, a specific schedule, methods of communication, and other tools to provide key project planning information to the following groups: Military leadership and staff (including Garrison Command, DPTMS, DPW and others), as well as State and local elected officials State government agency staff (including the NC Department of Military & Veterans Affairs, the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources (including the Division of Parks and Recreation), the NC Department of Commerce, the NC Department of Transportation, and the NC Department of Agriculture) 9

Federal government agency staff (including the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Department of Defense Siting Clearinghouse) Local government staff Other JLUS stakeholders (including, but not limited to, major property owners, realtors/developers, The Nature Conservancy, the Sandhills Area Land Trust, Sustainable Sandhills, the NC Sandhills Conservation Partnership, the NC Conservation Trust Fund, and the NC Clean Water Management Trust Fund) General Public Media Stakeholder engagement will be principally coordinated through the Policy Steering Committee and the Technical Advisory Committee. Policy Steering Committee (RLUAC Board of Directors) is comprised of its Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary and a senior-level stakeholder from each of the eight counties surrounding Fort Bragg and Camp Mackall, as well as Fort Bragg s Garrison Commander & Chief of the Master Planning Division, the Sandhills region s US Fish and Wildlife Service Regional Biologist, the recently retired Director of Fort Bragg s Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization, and Security, and a representative from the NC Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The Board of Directors will provide leadership and study recommendations to the full Voting Member Commission and will review the draft and final written reports, consider policy recommendations, and play a key role in the implementation of the JLUS. This group reviews and approves interim submittals in each phase of the project and will meet quarterly (or more often as required). Technical Advisory Commission (TAC) (RLUAC Voting Member Commission) will serve as the technical working group for the study. It is comprised of a mixture of local government managers, chief elected officials, planning officials, and military planners. In addition representatives from Mid-Carolina COG, environmental groups, NC state agencies, and real estate organizations actively attend and participate in the meetings. The TAC will be responsible for data collection, identifying and studying technical issues, evaluating alternatives, and developing recommendations for consideration by the Policy Steering Committee. The consultant, with the assistance of the project manager, will manage and coordinate the efforts of the TAC. All members will be knowledgeable in the subject area and will provide local input. 10

The Project Manager will be responsible for the following tasks: Maintaining a database of TAC and Policy Steering Committee members Notifying members of meetings Developing meeting agendas and preparing minutes Facilitating the meetings Completing and distributing progress reports Tracking attendance of members and guests at the meetings The General Public will also be provided opportunities to attend public forums and to provide comment and input on draft products at least two times during the course of the study. The public involvement strategy will include a variety of communication tools to facilitate early and continuing outreach to the above mentioned groups-- through Mid-Carolina COG and RLUAC websites, media releases, periodic fact sheets, etc. Meetings will be held in various locations throughout the study area to ensure convenient access for participating stakeholders. The consultant will maintain a current contact list throughout the study process to mail or e- mail project information materials to interested parties. The Consulant will work with the Project Manager and COG staff to provide administrative support to the Pollicy Steering Committee and the TAC to accomplish the following activities: Establish JLUS milestone completion dates. Create a schedule of committee and public meetings. Prepare meeting notices, agendas, minutes, handout materials, map presentations, and any other items to accomplish the study objectives. Provide written monthly status reports that detail work in progress, work accomplished, and funds expended. Progress reports will be due following each reporting period for the Project Manager and COG staff to review and distribute to other JLUS participants. Create and maintain a JLUS project subset on the RLUAC and COG websites to include posting of materials that could also be used on the websites of participating counties and cities websites. 11

The project team will emphasize the delivery of interim findings and technical reports throughout the process to ensure that the Policy Steering Committee, TAC, and the public have adequate opportunities for review and comment. DELIVERABLES Project Work Plan Project Schedule Outreach Plan, which includes: o Overview of stakeholder engagement process plan and meeting schedule o Identification of stakeholders o Scope of work for the stakeholder groups JLUS website as a subset of the current RLUAC and Mid-Carolina COG sites 2.0 REVIEW AND RESEARCH This task is focused on a review of background data from existing studies, sources, organizations groups, and individuals, both within the study area and from data provided by Fort Bragg officials. A Summary of Existing Conditions Report will be based on comprehensive review of adopted plans and past related work, meetings with the Policy Steering Committee, inventory of existing facilities and programs, and an assessment of availability and quality of services within the study area. 2.1 Assessment of Existing Conditions Military Document Review Identify and evaluate Fort Bragg plans, identify growth objectives, and review the impact of military growth objectives on training requirements, airspace demands, Longleaf Pine ecosystem and other environmental and infrastructure impacts generated by climate change extreme weather events. Update existing land uses and approved land use developments located within the five-mile area surrounding Fort Bragg and Camp Mackall. 12

Analyze impacts of current and future operations, including firing ranges, electromagnetic radiation, radio frequency intereference, military aircraft noise and potential air hazard areas. Evaluate existing and proposed Unmanned Aerial Vehicile (UAV), fixed wing, and rotary aircraft operational needs. Evaluate standard operating procedures (SOP s) for the installation and analyze how they impact the surrounding civilian communities and what, if anything, may be done to minimize these negative impacts. Community Document Review Review, summarize, and assess existing local land use plans, zoning ordinances, and subdivision regulations, paying particular attention to whether or not they contain provisions that identify areas of potential military and civilian conflict -- including restrictions on the location of telecom towers, wind mills, and residential subdivisions; limitations on urban light pollution, protection for Red Cockaded Woodpecker foraging areas, and infrastructure standards to manage storm water runoff from extreme weather events. Review, summarize, and assess the North Carolina Building Code to determine whether or not it adequately deals with measures to reduce outside to inside noise levels and extreme weather conditions in new residential construction. The consultant will prepare a table or other clearly formatted method showing existing compatible use standards and regulations by community. 2.2 Geographic Information System (GIS) Update The consultant will be responsible for conducting a comprehensive update of the Fort Bragg region s GIS database that was created as part of the 2003 and 2008 Fort Bragg JLUS process. The update will include a parcel by parcel review for all property existing within the five mile study area surrounding Fort Bragg and Camp Mackall. The consultant will review and potentially revise: The criteria for determining whether parcels are Critically Important to Conserve, Important to Conserve, suitable for Low Density Development, or suitable for Urban development The criteria for and accuracy of the identified suitability levels for Natural Areas, Working Farmland, and Working Forests. 13

The noise and accident potential areas on and off the military property. The military aircraft (Gray Eagle UAV s, fixed wing, and rotary) flight routes in the Fort Bragg region including flight buffer areas (no towers), 500 flight areas, and 1,000 flight areas. The locations of off-post training operations. RCW foraging areas in the Fort Bragg region. Areas which are particularly vulnerable to storm water runoff from extreme weather events. DELIVERABLES Existing Conditions Summary Report that provides an introduction of the project, policy context, growth and development changes since completion of the 2008 JLUS, and early goals for the study. It will also identify data gaps, survey needs, and issues that are not currently being addressed. Fully updated GIS database 3.0 COMPATIBILITY AND DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL ANALYSIS Since it has been eight years since the last JLUS was completed in the Fort Bragg region and many years since a number of the local governments have reviewed and updated their land use plans, it is timely to review these plans now to determine how successful they have been in steering new urban development away from locations that could compromise the military training mission, endanger the civilian population, and destroy the Longleaf Pine ecosystem. The consultant will develop a set of land use strategies and policy recommendations to help modify existing land use plans where the proposed development could threaten current or reasonably foreseeable activities at Fort Bragg. Specific assignments include: 3.1. Utilizing current land use plans, estimate the potential intensity of future growth within the five mile study area surrounding Fort Bragg and Camp Mackall. 3.2. Identify and evaluate the installation s capacity for current and future mission operations possibilities. 3.3. Identify and carefully address incompatible land uses and future potential land uses in detail in two important areas: a) Pope Army Airfield, 14

where land is not owned by Fort Bragg, and b) Mackall Army Airfield Clear Zones and Accident Potential Zones, where land is not owned by the installation. These two areas are where Fort Bragg and Camp Mackall are most vulnerable to the effects of incompatible development. 3.4. Identify future types of land uses both within and outside the study area that could negatively impact future mission opportunities at the fort 3.5. Develop a preferred future compatible land use scenario that will maximize future mission operation possibilities at Fort Bragg and the sustainability of the Longleaf Pine ecosystem. 3.6. Identify current infrastructure deficits (highways, drainage systems, public water and sewer systems, and electrical) and needed improvements to adequately prepare for future extreme weather events. 3.7. In conjunction with local planning efforts, identify land use policy and implementation measures that need to be developed, updated, or revised to reduce potential conflicts between the preferred future compatible land use scenario and Fort Bragg operations. 3.8. Provide an analysis of the economic impact of the study s recommendations on affected properties and on development opportunities within the five mile study area. 3.9. Present data and mapping to the Policy Steering Committee and TAC. DELIVERABLES Compatibility Analysis Report Updated GIS Database Maps and display materials for the meetings 4.0 PREPARE THE JLUS REPORT The consultant will present the results of the data collection and analysis, information about existing and anticipated future conflicts between community development, military operations & airspace, Longleaf Pine ecosystem, and infrastructure; proposed strategies to mitigate and/or eliminate identified conflicts, and other preliminary recommendations. Public comments will again be solicited with emphasis on the implementation strategies. 4.1 Study Refinement 15

Make revisions to the JLUS draft based on Policy Steering Committee and TAC recommendations. Include mitigation measures to address potential negative impacts on existing landowners. Develop model policies, regulations, ordinances, agreements, etc. to address existing incompatibility issues and guide potential future compatible development to protect and preserve the military training mission, public health and safety, the sustainability of the Longleaf Pine ecosystem, and the public infrastructure from climate change related extreme storm events. DELIVERABLES Draft JLUS report sections that include the summary of recommendations, implementation plan and action steps, and strategies and procedures for ongoing communication, coordination, and monitoring of implementation of the JLUS. A PowerPoint presentation that summarizes the plans and recommendations that can be used by local officials at public meetings and be posted on the RLUAC and Mid-Carolina COG websites. A prioritized set of improvements to meet the identified needs. Steps for continuing and improved coordination between local governments and Fort Bragg to prevent future incompatible development. Summary of next steps and key outcomes. 4.2 Study Production The consultant will present the final JLUS report at meetings of: The Policy Steering Committee and TAC for approval, and Participating local government elected councils and boards of commissioners for formal adoption. The consultant will also deliver the completed JLUS document to the study sponsor (Mid-Carolina Council of Governments. DELIVERABLES 30 full color, hard copy reports of the final JLUS (distribution: 22 participating local governments, Fort Bragg, Mid-Carolina Council of 16

This narrative shall include; o Description of military operations at Fort Bragg o Graphic display of the study area and the military operations footprint o Description of the RLUAC organizational structure and the additional participants for both planning and implementation of the JLUS. o Summary of compatible use issues o Highlights of the primary JLUS recommendations 5.0 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The lasting value of a JLUS is not only in the data that is collected/ evaluated and in the working relationships that are developed through the process, but in the implementation of the actions and strategies that it recommends. In order for the JLUS recommendations to be effectively implemented, local governments within the study area must work closely together with each other and Fort Bragg officials. 5.1 Implementation Strategy The consultant is responsible for preparing an Implementation Strategy and identifying responsible parties, time-frames, and possible funding 17

sources that lay out a systematic and achievable series of implementation steps for the completed JLUS. 5.2 Implementation Organization RLUAC is the organization responsible for ongoing implementation efforts and building a process to continually update the GIS map layers once the JLUS is completed. RLUAC was created as result of a recommendation in the 1991 Fort Bragg JLUS and through the ensuing years has made implementation activities one of its top priorities. It is currently composed of Fort Bragg and the active membership of twenty-two dues paying local governments surrounding the installation (8 counties and 14 municipalities). 5.3 Local Government Responsibility Local government JLUS participants are responsible for adopting/implementing study recommendations that specifically impact them. 5.4 Fort Bragg Responsibility The installation is responsible for adopting/implementing study recommendations that specifically impact it. 5.5 Quarterly Updates and Annual Progress Reports At its quarterly meetings RLUAC will review specific JLUS implementation actions and receive updates regarding progress being made by the local governments and Fort Bragg. In addition, an Annual Progress Report will be prepared by the RLUAC Executive Director -- detaining implementation accomplishments and responsibilities for tasks still remaining 18
