PURPOSE
The following Request for Proposals (RFP) has been developed to solicit proposals from consulting firms qualified and experienced in engineering, water resources, landscape architecture and stormwater pond restoration and improvement. Although technical differences exist, for purposes of this solicitation the term ‘stormwater pond’ is synonymous with ‘lake’.
PROJECT SCOPE/DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
Stormwater lakes within the City are many decades old and most have never been dredged. Over time, these lakes have deteriorated and have a buildup of accumulated pollutants which can lead to diminished pollutant removal capabilities. The City seeks to restore and potentially improvement several lakes that receive stormwater from public lands. An evaluation of the lake watershed may be helpful to identify measures for controlling potential sources of contamination prior to entering a lake. Therefore, this project not only allows for improvements that enable the lake to function better, but also allow for public interaction and neighborhood beautification. Improvements in water quality in the City’s lakes enhance their amenity value for residents, while reducing pollutant loadings to impaired waters of the state.
