The May 29, 2026 register shows a 34,895.45 payment to GHD Inc. for "Sea Level Rise Assessment" covering March–April 2026. This indicates that Pismo Beach is actively engaging a consultant to evaluate sea level rise impacts, likely in support of coastal resilience, infrastructure planning, and land use decisions. Although GHD is the chosen consultant for the assessment, the findings will likely drive future capital projects, policy changes, shoreline protection, and potential grant pursuits. Vendors focused on coastal engineering, climate adaptation design, modeling, community outreach, and grant writing can position themselves for the next phase when the city moves from assessment into specific mitigation projects and funding applications.

Sea level rise work may tie into GP/LCP grant-funded planning noted elsewhere in the registers.
