Request for Proposals: Minnehaha Creek Watershed District- East Auburn Wetland Restoration
Date: 3/22/2024 - 4/10/2024
Description:
The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) is excited to share a request for proposals (RFP) for engineering and design services for the East Auburn Wetland Restoration project in Victoria, MN. MCWD seeks to complete design, cost analysis, plans and specifications, permitting, and construction oversight for the installation of a hydrologic control structure to address phosphorus export from the identified wetland complex to East Auburn Lake. The "Cell 1 Wetland", located at the upstream segment of the East Auburn Wetland Complex, has been identified as the likely source of elevated total phosphorus (TP) loads to East Auburn Lake based on data collection, preliminary assessment, and a recently completed feasibility study.
The primary outcome of this project is the restoration of Cell 1 Wetland to address elevated TP loads to East Auburn Lake through the construction of a sheet pile weir between the Cell 1 and Cell 2 Wetlands of the East Auburn Wetland Complex. The proposal additionally requires the consideration of integrating improvements to the boardwalk located between Cell 1 and Cell 2 Wetlands, that would potentially be impacted during construction of the weir.
The RFP and supporting materials can be viewed at the link provided. Proposals are to be submitted to Planner-Project Manager, Sophia Green.
