FY26-DOEE-WPD-Fort Lincoln Ponds Drainage Area Investigations

The District of Columbia’s Department of Energy and Environment is forecasting a contract for FY26 to conduct drainage area investigations for the Fort Lincoln Ponds, aiming to assess hydrological conditions, identify sources of stormwater runoff, and evaluate potential improvements to manage water quality and flood risk in the surrounding watershed. The work will involve field data collection, topographic and hydrologic modeling, and analysis of existing infrastructure to support future mitigation efforts and regulatory compliance. The project is targeted at understanding the drainage network’s functionality and its impact on the ponds, with findings intended to inform long-term environmental planning and resilience strategies. This initiative is part of the agency’s broader responsibilities to protect and restore local water resources, and the investigations are expected to guide design and funding decisions for future infrastructure upgrades. While the solicitation number, NAICS code, and set-aside details have not yet been defined, the contract is anticipated to require specialized environmental engineering expertise and may involve coordination with local stakeholders. The work will be conducted in and around the Fort Lincoln Ponds area, and the agency will issue a formal solicitation in the coming months, with further details likely available through the provided portal link.
