Dillon Wetlands Delineation and Topographic Survey of Lots 50 and 135

The Town of Dillon, Colorado is seeking a professional consultant to perform wetlands delineation and topographic survey services for two municipal lots (Lots 50 and 135) located on Little Beaver Trail adjacent to Straight Creek and Interstate 70. The Request for Proposals (RFP) requires a comprehensive approach involving four primary tasks: site background gathering, wetlands field delineation using industry-standard practices, topographic surveying with one-foot contour intervals, and obtaining wetlands approval from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Required deliverables include a wetlands report with mapping, a 24"x36" topographic survey, and PDF and AutoCAD documentation. The RFP was released on June 12, 2025, with a pre-proposal site meeting scheduled for July 1st, 2025, and proposals due by July 10, 2025, at 4:00 pm MDT. Proposal evaluation will be based on criteria including proposal quality, understanding of wetland delineation processes, consultant reputation and experience, alignment with town interests, proposed approach, and interview performance. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Rocky Mountain ePurchasing System, with potential shortlist interviews anticipated in June/July 2025 and bidder selection targeted for completion by August 1, 2025.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must provide a comprehensive fee schedule itemizing hours, billing rates, travel costs, and reimbursable expenses, with strict instructions to avoid lump-sum pricing. The town reserves the right to reject any proposal and will conduct background investigations to assess bidder qualifications and financial ability. While no specific budget range is disclosed in the provided documents, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial professional services contract. The survey plat indicates the project is located in Summit County, specifically in Section 7, Township 5 South, Range 77 West of the 6th Principal Meridian. Consultants will need to demonstrate expertise in wetlands delineation, topographic surveying, and federal agency coordination, with a particular focus on producing detailed technical documentation and navigating environmental assessment requirements for the specified lots adjacent to Interstate 70.
