Wetland Assessment and Ecological Restoration Plan Development

A government authority in Colorado is seeking a consultant to conduct a wetland assessment and develop an ecological restoration plan. The agency needs to identify a mitigation bank footprint capable of generating a minimum of ten wetland mitigation credits. To solve this need, the selected vendor must evaluate potential mitigation areas utilizing results from baseline and hydrologic assessments. The scope of work requires the development of a detailed credit potential map that identifies areas feasible for generating mitigation credits, including estimated credit types and quantities for restoration, enhancement, and preservation. The consultant must also select ideal locations for necessary monitoring wells and determine the appropriate installation method, such as drilling or hand digging. Additionally, the agency requires technical support throughout the permitting and regulatory review process. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency expects the performance of the work to occur offsite. Rather than providing a set budget, the agency is looking for proposals to determine the cost. The agency will host a pre-bid meeting on June 10, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions no later than June 11, 2026. The agency has not specified the final proposal submission deadline or the specific evaluation criteria in the initial request.
