Groundwater Availability Modeling Engineers

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division (EPD) is seeking qualified engineering firms to provide professional services for Groundwater Availability Modeling, a critical project focused on evaluating prioritized aquifers in the Georgia Coastal Plain. The primary objective is to support regional water planning and manage groundwater resources through comprehensive modeling that assesses potential impacts of proposed groundwater withdrawals on nearby users and the resource itself. Interested engineering firms must submit statements of qualifications and experience demonstrating their expertise in groundwater modeling techniques. The solicitation was posted on April 10, 2025, with proposals due by May 12, 2025, giving potential respondents approximately one month to prepare and submit their qualifications. The project will require detailed technical expertise in developing and analyzing groundwater models that can effectively evaluate the complex hydrogeological dynamics of Georgia's Coastal Plain aquifer systems.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified engineering firms with demonstrated technical capabilities in groundwater modeling. The contract will likely involve developing and refining existing groundwater models used by Georgia EPD, which suggests potential integration with current modeling infrastructure and technologies. Firms responding to this opportunity should have robust experience in hydrogeological modeling, water resource management, and technical analysis of regional groundwater systems. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the technical complexity and strategic importance of the project suggest a potentially significant contract value commensurate with the sophisticated engineering services required. Prospective respondents should be prepared to demonstrate advanced computational modeling skills, comprehensive understanding of Georgia's groundwater resources, and the ability to provide detailed scientific assessments that support state-level water resource management strategies.
