The South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) is soliciting Statements of Interest (SOI) for Administration/Design/Construction services related to the spillway replacement at Marindahl Lake Dam in Yankton County. The procurement seeks a consultant to provide comprehensive site investigations, plans, specifications, cost estimates, and site inspection/testing services. Key deliverables include geotechnical borings, site investigations, design and plans for grading and spillway replacement, land surveying, hydrologic/hydraulic design, and construction inspection. The selected consultant will collaborate directly with GFP to prepare and submit documentation to FEMA and the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR) throughout the project. Statements of Interest must be submitted by 5:00 PM CT on March 30th, 2023, with submissions evaluated by a technical review committee based on the firm's qualifications, capabilities, experience, resources, past performance, availability, and project management approach. The evaluation will focus on the consulting firm's demonstrated expertise in similar infrastructure rehabilitation and water management projects.

The procurement documents do not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on responding organizations. There is no mention of incumbent vendors or existing contractual arrangements for this specific project. Similarly, no specific budget range or award value was disclosed in the available documentation. The solicitation appears open to qualified engineering and architectural consulting firms with experience in dam and spillway infrastructure projects. The project will require close coordination with state agencies including GFP, FEMA, and DANR, suggesting that respondents should have strong intergovernmental communication capabilities and familiarity with federal and state infrastructure rehabilitation standards. While financial details are not provided, the complexity of the project—involving geotechnical analysis, design, surveying, and regulatory compliance—indicates this will be a significant engineering contract requiring substantial technical expertise and project management skills.
