Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City is seeking assessment services, field data collection, data analysis, and conceptual design, to evaluate the current state of water quality and plan for future projects that will improve conditions in surface waters. Principles and methods common to urban planning, utility engineering, stormwater system design, and environmental restoration will be used to develop feasibility assessments for improving water quality in the most impaired sub-basins and at pollutant “hot spots” found during sampling. Other services required as background to develop the assessment and designs are expected to include the review of existing water quality data, field investigation to confirm details of important system components, and review of construction asbuilt documents of water quality facilities. Close coordination with the City of Bellingham will also be necessary for the success of this project.
