7466-23 - HALL RANCH 2 OPEN SPACE ENGINEERING SERVICES - SOUTH ST. VRAIN CREEK RESTORATION

BACKGROUND:
Boulder County Parks and Open Space (BCPOS) is accepting proposals from qualified and experienced Contractors to secure professional consulting engineering services to finalize a design for the restoration of an approximately half (0.5) mile reach of South St. Vrain Creek on the County’s Hall Ranch 2 Open Space property located at 1605 Old St. Vrain Road, Lyons, approximately two (2) miles west of the town of Lyons along State Highway 7.  The requested services are needed to take an existing 30% creek restoration design plan to an 80% Design Plan, Specifications, and Final Basis of Design Report (the Project), which will be used for permitting, bidding, and construction of the South St. Vrain at Hall Ranch 2 creek restoration project. The 80% Design Plan will allow for potential field changes during construction due to site specific conditions. The goals of the Project are to realign the creek to its natural course using natural channel design principles to reduce the impact of future flooding, provide public safety, protect onsite and downstream infrastructure, re-establish floodplain connectivity, and restore resilient and ecologically rich habitats.

The selected Contractor must complete the Project (Tasks 1 – 8) as described in the Specifications section by December 31, 2023.
