RFP & Proposal Review
Don't let a flawed coastal project reach implementation. Dr. Hapke's independent technical review catches the scientific errors, unfeasible assumptions, and missed risks before they become costly failures.
Request a Proposal ReviewWhen Coastal Projects Fail, Communities Pay the Price
Every year, hundreds of millions of dollars are invested in coastal protection projects that are scientifically flawed from inception. Inappropriate shoreline structures, miscalculated wave energy, and poorly sited nature-based solutions can accelerate erosion rather than prevent it.
Dr. Hapke has spent over 30 years studying what works and what fails on coastlines across the world. She brings that institutional knowledge directly to bear on your RFP evaluation or proposal review process.
She is available for reviews of international financial institutions, bilateral aid agencies, and national governments to quality-control coastal investments before funds are released.
Technical Proposal Audits
Line-by-line scientific review of coastal engineering methodologies, data sources, and modelling assumptions in RFP submissions and project proposals.
Feasibility & Risk Analysis
Independent assessment of project feasibility considering coastal dynamics, climate projections, and long-term maintenance requirements.
Nature-Based Solution Vetting
Expert evaluation of proposed nature-based interventions — mangrove restoration, living shorelines, reef enhancement — for scientific soundness.
Red-Flag Identification
Rapid identification of scientifically unsound approaches, unrealistic timelines, or unsubstantiated cost estimates before funds are committed.
