Faculty Research Grants Service

The government authority located in North Carolina requires a vendor to provide faculty research grants services. The buyer seeks a vendor to assess the cost-effectiveness of stormwater control measures against other pollutant reduction practices and evaluate stormwater control device performance across varying precipitation patterns. The vendor must determine the appropriateness of current storm-size design standards for future resilience and assess whether flow-through treatment practices effectively treat pollutants under changing precipitation patterns. Additionally, the vendor must apply a mass balance approach to understand fecal sources and develop innovative techniques to identify sources and reduce pollution from nutrients, pathogens, sediment, and fecal coliform to enhance water quality and satisfy regulatory standards. The buyer restricts eligibility strictly to onshore USA organizations. The vendor will perform all work offsite. The buyer currently requests proposals for the budget and provides no specific key dates or evaluation criteria in the source text.
