Specifications include, but are not limited to: Design, surveying and mapping, and engineering firms/teams to provide project design, survey, modeling, permitting, construction administration, and other related professional engineering services necessary to complete a wide variety of environmental resource projects throughout Florida. Services such as geotechnical, archeological, and other assessments or tasks not specifically mentioned might be performed by others under the responsibility of the selected firm and are considered incidental to complete a specific project. Desired expertise includes but is not limited to: development of complete project implementation masterplans with associated hydrologic modeling for a variety of aquatic habitat restoration and enhancement projects. Such projects may take place in freshwater lakes, rivers and streams, forested, nonforested and ephemeral wetlands, marine systems, and bays, estuaries and other wetland or upland areas. Specific project activities may include, but are not limited to, lake drawdowns and accumulated sediment removal; stream-course restorations; weir, berm and dam construction; hydraulic and mechanical dredging; pumping; excavation; bank stabilization; living shorelines establishment, oyster reef and coral restoration, aquatic vegetation planting and ecological/hydrologic restoration to return areas to a more historic hydroperiod. Projects may occur in environmentally and/or archeologically sensitive areas. Demonstrated environmental permitting experience with various governmental agencies, including the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Water Management Districts, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is essential. Firms are advised that plans and specifications for projects may be reused. Work may be in rugged, remote locations difficult to access that will require innovative approaches to avoid impacts to natural systems.
