Statewide Mitigation Credit Service

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Statewide Mitigation Credit Service contract (DOT59222-1) provides comprehensive environmental mitigation services across Ohio. The Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) enables selected vendors to perform critical ecological services including wetland and stream delineation, cultural resource investigations, endangered species surveys, waterway permit applications, environmental monitoring, and long-term land management. Designed to reduce costs and improve ecological outcomes, the contract allows for environmental mitigation projects with individual task values up to $2 million per proposer.

The IDV was awarded to two prime contractors: Cardno, Inc. of Cincinnati, OH and EnviroScience, Inc. of Stow, OH, through a competitive selection process. The contract is effective from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2026, covering the entire state of Ohio. As a multiple-vendor contract, it permits ODOT to issue purchase orders as needed during the five-year period, with no guaranteed order volume. The contract type is a competitive selection, focusing specifically on environmental mitigation banking products under UNSPSC code 64141700, and requires vendors to demonstrate at least 10 years of experience delivering mitigation services in Ohio.
