The County has identified the following objectives: The Drainage Inventory and Condition Assessment would provide the necessary data for the County to identify specific locations with the greatest need and vulnerability in Down East communities. Chronic flooding and inadequate drainage have greatly impacted the socioeconomic landscape of Down East by causing regular instances where roads are flooded and access to resources is impacted. This project will create a location and condition database that will assist in understanding which projects the County and other stakeholders need to prioritize moving forward. Organizations external to the County may have existing data sets and modeling that can help inform the assessment. Validating the data will be the responsibility of the selected firm. The County is seeking firms with specific expertise of similar scope projects. All proposed project designs will be reviewed and authorized by an evaluation panel consisting of individuals selected by the County and shall be subject to all applicable governmental reviews and design standard approvals. Responses shall clearly outline the firm’s ability to deliver the following minimum services: 1. This project will create a drainage facility location and condition database for the Down East, Merrimon, North River and South River communities. 2. This project may include community engagement activities in the Down East, Merrimon, North River and South River communities
