AI Contract Overview
The Poultney Mettowee Natural Resources Conservation District is seeking qualified engineering consultants to perform a feasibility assessment and preliminary design for the potential removal of three low-head dams on the Castleton River in Fair Haven, Vermont: the Shirt Factory, Slate Factory, and Water Street dams. The project utilizes a corridor-based systems approach to evaluate the cumulative impacts of dam removal, including hydraulic, geomorphic, ecological, and infrastructure considerations. The selected consultant will develop 30 percent preliminary designs and evaluate various alternatives such as complete removal, partial removal, phased removal, or retention. The scope of work includes hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, site investigations, stakeholder coordination, and the investigation of legal responsibilities, permitting requirements, and historic resource considerations. The project is funded by the WUV Enhancement Dam Removal Design and Implementation Block Grant with a maximum available budget of 60,000 dollars. The period of performance is expected to run from August 2026 through October 2027, with a required kick-off and scoping site visit by October 10, 2026. Consultants must provide an itemized cost proposal and demonstrate relevant experience in dam removal and river restoration, particularly within Vermont. Required qualifications include professional liability insurance of at least 1 million dollars per occurrence and 2 million dollars aggregate, as well as workers compensation insurance. Proposals are due by September 7, 2026, and will be evaluated based on the proposer's qualifications, experience with public engagement, and the clarity of the proposed project schedule and budget.
