About this file
This document is an Addendum to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for a Frontenac Pond Outlet Analysis and Feasibility Study. The addendum addresses vendor questions and the state's responses. Key details include:
The RFP seeks proposals for a feasibility study and project scoping to stabilize water levels in Frontenac Pond, partially located in Frontenac State Park. The study will focus on supporting centrarchid fish species like bass, bluegill, and crappie, as well as northern pike and yellow perch. The optimal water level is around 685 feet, with concerns about Wells Creek migrating or moving laterally during high-flow events. There is existing water surface measurement data and longitudinal profiles, but no comprehensive hydraulic models. Vendors are asked to provide an outline of background and experience, rather than full resumes.
Regarding pricing, the DNR has not provided a budget range, as the intent is to determine the cost of the work to assess feasibility within the available budget. There are no set-asides mentioned, and no information on incumbents or current environment. The funding source is the DNR, but the specific amount is not disclosed.

Request for Proposals (RFP) Addendum #1 SWIFT Event #: 2000016335 Agency: Department of Natural Resources Addendum Number: 1 Date of Addendum: October 29, 2024 Title: Frontenac Pond Outlet Analysis and Feasibility Study
SCOPE OF ADDENDUM
The following are changes to the RFP: Sharing vendor questions and State’s answers.
1) Vendors’ questions to the RFP and the State’s answers are as follows:
1. Question: Is there a budget range that should be considered for the work?
Answer: The DNR has posted this RFP to find out what it will cost for the work to see if it is even feasible within the budget.
1. Question: Are resumes needed?
Answer: Responder should provide an outline of background and experience. A resume would be one method of providing information about experience and qualifications, but a company portfolio or other method could be used.
1. Question: What fish are we trying to support and what water level/depth is considered optimal for the lake?
Answer: Centrarchids (bass, bluegill, and crappie) mainly for fishes, though Northern Pike and Yellow Perch are also present and fished (particularly in the winter). As for water level, optimal is a difficult word in this situation. The goal would be around 685 feet as measured on the culvert. The mean and median recorded measurement for the last several years has been 684.73 feet.
1. Question: Are there concerns about Wells Creek migrating or moving laterally?
Answer: There are concerns of lateral movement towards the pond during high- flow events. A leveed bank on the opposite side will shunt flows towards the pond during very high-water events and may lead to erosion/new channel.
1. Question: Is there an existing hydrologic or hydraulic model of the area?
Answer: There could be for Wells from Salam Murtada, but very unlikely for Frontenac/Pleasant Valley hydrology. (Might be an unpublished model for Wells (see above), but not for Pleasant Valley according to our hydrologist.)
1. Question: Is there any existing survey data for the area?
Answer: There is some data. Long-term water surface measurements and several basic longitudinal profiles have been conducted. Profiles may not represent current conditions.
