ADCNR is requesting Statements of Qualifications for the Project to build upon a previous study of the Mobile Bay Causeway and hydrology conducted in 2015. The Project will support the primary RESTORE Comprehensive Plan goal to restore and conserve habitat through a planning effort that: 1) addresses any data gaps remaining from the 2015 study of the Mobile Bay Causeway and hydrology (Weston Solutions Inc. 2015); 2) evaluate the suggested restoration alternatives with a cost-logistics/feasibility frame of reference; and 3) move identified and prioritized restoration alternatives forward to a 30% preliminary engineering design. Questions/Inquiries should be e-mailed to Dr. Rita Peachey (rita.peachey@dcnr.alabama.gov) no later than December 5th at 12:00pm noon (Local Time). Short List Interviews* Week of January 16, 2025 Select Consultant for Contract Negotiations February 7, 2025 (approximately) The State reserves the right to reject any and all proposals and cancel this Request if, in its sole discretion, it deems such action to be in its best interest. For context, the construction of the Mobile Bay Causeway in 1927 resulted in a significant amount of dredge material placement over large portions of the Upper Mobile Bay marsh complex. At the time, filling of marsh was a preferred alternative to elevating the causeway and as a result, restrictions of hydrological interaction and connections between Mobile Bay and its Delta, including faunal migrations and natural food web interactions, have been truncated. Proposed Project activities will inform the restoration of the hydrological exchange necessary for coastal marsh and estuarine wetland habitats in the area to restore ecological integrity and ecosystem health. Project duration is expected to be 2 (two) years. Anticipated Project Budget: Approximately $900,000. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
