The Town has determined that the Stone Wharf needs maintenance repairs, and ADA accessibility upgrades, but is structurally stable in its current configuration and elevation. The Stone Wharf Assessment Study recommended that a coastal modeling study be completed to determine the appropriate design elevation of the Stone Wharf taking into consideration the current and proposed FEMA Base Flood Elevation (BFE) and projections of Sea Level Rise (SLR). The Town of Chebeague applied for and received a Maine Coastal Program Shore and Harbor Grant to fund this study and to initiate Preliminary Design efforts The selected entity will be expected to enter into a written agreement for services with The Town of Chebeague Island for work to commence in 2022 or early 2023 Following review of proposals by the Town Administrator and Board of Selectmen the consultant team may be contacted for further information, an on-site interview, or selected outright to perform consulting services under contract.
