Objective 1: The updated SW Manual will explain the Department’s regulatory framework for stormwater management and detail stormwater BMPs, primarily in the context of Chapter 500 compliance. The awarded Bidder will have skills, experience, and resources to compile and utilize BAI rapidly for meeting this objective. The manual project will be conducted concurrently with the Chapter 500 consensus-based rulemaking process. The final manual will be ready by the final adoption of Chapter 500. Objective 2: The project deliverables will have an enhanced structure and format to satisfy end user needs. Major end user groups of the SW Manual are Department staff, consulting engineers, review engineers, contractors, inspectors, and stormwater practitioners. The awarded Bidder is expected to have a good understanding of the manual’s function for the major end user groups. The structure and format of the manual must be designed so that the manual is (a) easy to navigate and search, (b) ADA compliant, (c) functionally organized, and (d) enriched with supplementary materials.
