This file is a reference document associated with an Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) request for proposal (RFP) for engineering consulting services related to shoreline stabilization in Dickinson County, Iowa. The DNR is seeking a consulting firm to provide engineering design services for shoreline stabilization practices along the Great Lakes shoreline, with the project organized in two phases. The scope includes developing a comprehensive design report that defines the limits of erosion damage across 66 identified locations spanning over 2,600 feet of shoreline across four lakes and provides recommendations for repair work. The RFP was opened on September 5, 2024, with responses due by September 23, 2024. Respondents are required to submit both technical and cost proposals and will be evaluated based on work plan, organizational capacity, technical expertise, and past performance.

The conceptual construction estimate for the project is $4.2 million, though the RFP does not specify a set award value or budget range for the consulting services phase. The RFP indicates a preference for Iowa-based firms and products but does not contain set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types eligible to respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified. The file itself appears to be a navigation document from a shared Google Drive folder containing project-related materials, including a spreadsheet on shoreline bank collapses and a site map PDF, suggesting that supporting technical data and geographic information are available to inform proposal development.
