This is a project overview map prepared by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the Lewis and Clark State Park Hazard Tree Removal project located in Monona County, Iowa. The map, created by the Iowa State University GIS Facility using 2023 orthoimagery, identifies roads and trails within the project area near Blue Lake, an oxbow lake formed by the Missouri River. The project involves the removal of dead and dying eastern cottonwood trees that have experienced significant stress from sustained drought conditions between 2020 and 2025, with removal required for trees exhibiting over 50% crown dieback. The procurement was released as a Request for Proposal (RFP) on December 30, 2025, with proposals due on January 30, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST. Respondents must submit separate technical and cost proposal files and complete all required certifications following specific submission guidelines. The project is structured in two phases, with supporting documentation including project overview maps, phase-specific maps, roads and trails maps, and debris pile location maps provided to assist contractors in understanding the scope of work.
