Teton County is issuing this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) in search of a qualified consultant with expertise and experience in habitat restoration and land conservation planning to develop a vegetation restoration project and assist with conservation planning for Teton County’s property located at the junction of Wyoming Highway’s 22 and 390. The area, colloquially known as the Greater Stilson area, includes the Stilson Transit Center, private properties under Teton County Scenic Preserve Trust, private property currently used for skier parking, and property set aside for future recreational use (8.5 acres) owned by Teton County. Teton County is considering the placement of a conservation easement on the Teton County Parks and Recreation parcel at Stilson (in its entirety or a portion) via the Teton County Scenic Preserve Trust. An easement on the 8.5-acre Parks parcel (or a portion thereof) would aid in protecting and enhancing wildlife permeability throughout the Greater Stilson area, as well as ensuring the efficacy of the new wildlife crossing infrastructure. Additionally, Teton County is proposing habitat/vegetation restoration on a portion of the parcel described above. The design of the restoration project will require determination of how much water is available to Teton County for use on the Stilson parcel and identification of the process to utilize the water for vegetation restoration irrigation. The design of the restoration project and associated easements must be coordinated with the needs of the Teton County Parks and Recreation Department infrastructure planning, development, and programming. This is a cost not-to-exceed project-specific type of contract.This projectrequires the support of a consultant team for a wide range of services in stakeholder engagement, engineering, biological, environmental, survey capacity, landscape architectural design, and cost-estimation. Engineers shall have professional licensure within the State of Wyoming
