Specifications include, but are not limited to: The goal of assessment projects is to evaluate current water quality and hydrologic conditions and then identify and rank conceptual structural and non-structural water quality improvement Best Management Practice (BMP) projects to restore or maintain water quality. These recommended concepts may feed into the Feasibility Study phase. The consultant shall also specify the duration of the project by providing project start and end dates. Feasibility Study projects evaluate constructability, feasibility, and cost effectiveness of Best Management Practice (BMP) projects and provide all necessary information to proceed to design and construction. Data gaps remaining from the assessment phase may require monitoring, modeling, survey, geological studies, and/or ecological studies. Refined project layouts, pollutant reductions, and costs are developed. Feasibility may include assembling, submitting, and tracking environmental resource or other project-specific permits, property acquisition, defining easement requirements, input from adjacent land owners/HOA, operation and maintenance, wetland mitigation, ecological impacts, and potential flooding. Monitoring of water quality parameters, velocity and discharge, mass removal, and/or other parameters of interest associated with Best Management Practice (BMP) projects or adjacent waterbodies in order to evaluate performance from an upstream/downstream or waterbody perspective. The final product of this project phase is typically a report, which establishes empirical pollutant loads and pollutant reduction estimates for specific BMP projects. This may be utilized to support grant requirements, Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) program and/or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program reporting of pollutant reductions, and/or evaluation or support of generalized reduction efficiencies estimated for a type of BMP. Identify the purpose of the project and how it relates to the specific problem(s) under investigation. Describe the investigative approach intended to evaluate the problem(s) and the rationale for choosing the specific investigative approach(es). Provide a timeline of the project investigation activities including, but not limited to, submittal of interim project deliverables as well as the final project deliverable.
