The City reserves the right to request or obtain additional information about any and all submittals before making an award. The City also reserves the right to seek clarification from any Vendor about any statement in its proposal that the City finds ambiguous. The City is seeking a vendor who can provide all the materials and services requested herein. The selected vendor shall provide the services required below: The proposed project will improve the water quality in Cumberland Bay that is critical to the success of Plattsburgh City Beach and many other surrounding areas. The contamination in Cumberland Bay comes from storm sewer, urban runoff, and sediments producing levels of mercury and phosphorus in the water. The impaired waterbody also contains priority organics (PCBS). Proposed improvements include green infrastructure such as stormwater tree trenches and bio retention areas, which will help to capture some of the runoff that can come from the beach parking lot. Blowing sand has filled drainage structures and limited their effectiveness. Restoring the beach's sand dunes will also provide an extra layer of protection to Cumberland Bay by helping to limit the urban and stormwater runoff that makes its way into the catch basins and eventually into the bay. This project will also help restore and revitalize Plattsburgh City Beach, a public beach and tourist destination in Plattsburgh, New York. The City Beach project will include about 5,280 square feet of treatment and infiltration area for the stormwater tree trenches and approximately 7,680 square feet of bio retention areas that will be incorporated to capture and filter stormwater runoff. The tree trenches will consist of native tree species, and the bio retention areas will incorporate native shrubs, grasses, and perennial flowers. The project will also include the restoration of four (4) foot tall of sand dunes covering an area of approximately one (1) acre. The dunes will be covered with dune grass. Other plans for vegetation include the planting of fifteen (15) trees and approximately one-half (1/2) acre of turf establishment. The projected duration of this project is 12 months.
