Request for Proposals for Engineering Services
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES
Madison County is requesting proposals from qualified consultants to provide engineering services required to provide a working analysis and evaluation for the Lyman Creek Levees.
Background:
Currently, The Lyman Creek Flood Control Channel and Levees are listed as non-accredited, but are still listed as hydraulically significant and will not allow a 1% flood to overtop its banks. Because of these levees and spillway, in 1996 FEMA approved a LOMR (case number: 96-10-106P) and approved a floodplain boundary delineation that removed a large portion of Madison County from the 1% floodplain. Because these levees are not currently accredited, the current modeling effort taking place will likely cause this region of the county to be at risk of being placed back in the 1% floodplain.
Purposes:
1. Provide working analyses and data to assist with the current FEMA Risk Mapping modeling effort, taking place for the Upper Snake River Watersheds, to ensure the most accurate information is used.
2. Provide accurate and critical information on the Lyman Creek Levees and flood control channel so decisions can be made for mitigation projects to allow for accreditation.
The scope of work is anticipated to include:
• A hydrology study of the Lyman Creek Flood Control Channel and Levee Flood Control Project to determine hydraulic capacity.
• A hydraulic Study of the Lyman Creek Levee showing the output to river.
• Provide documentation on Levees’ NFIP status based on the CFR 65.10, and identify mitigation opportunities.
• Report requirements for evaluation of feasibility of Lyman Creek Levees for potential accreditation, allowing County Commissioners and other partners to make informed decisions.
• Develop plan for potential accreditation
Respondents will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
• 15 points: Capability to Perform Project. Provide a description of:
o The firm's history.
o Areas of expertise.
o Office locations, and where the study will be based.
o Commitment to provide necessary resources to perform and complete project.
• 25 points: Qualifications of Project Team
o Identify proposed project team and describe the role of each team member.
o Provide a description of the qualifications and experience for each person on the proposed project team.

o Provide a proposed schedule to complete the study.
• 10 points: Local Familiarity and Presence.
