The RFP outlines the engagement of professional engineering expertise to support ongoing hydrogeologic assessments, analysis, and recommendations related to utility infrastructure and water resource management. The solicitation requests comprehensive engineering services that may include site investigations, hydrogeologic modeling, groundwater evaluation, and technical reporting to support utility operations and planning. Specific response requirements, proposal submission deadlines, and evaluation criteria are detailed within the RFP document to guide potential bidders in developing competitive proposals.
