The Town of Milliken, located in Weld County, Colorado, is seeking a qualified consulting firm to conduct a comprehensive hydraulic analysis of the Little Thompson River floodplain through a sealed proposal procurement process. The project, identified as RFP No. 06-2025, requires a detailed hydraulic study comparing current river conditions with the effective FEMA model, involving multiple project phases including topographic survey data collection, HEC-RAS modeling, and evaluation of existing and proposed conditions. Key deliverables will include an analysis of potential impacts on floodplain delineations and base flood elevations, with a project completion deadline of June 30, 2026. The Town will evaluate proposals using a weighted selection system, with criteria including firm capability (30%), key staff experience (30%), firm availability (20%), project understanding (10%), and management qualifications (10%). Proposals are due by October 30, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with the Town seeking firms demonstrating advanced knowledge of hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, expertise in FEMA modeling requirements, and the ability to complete work on time and within budget.

The contract will be funded by the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB), with payment contingent on the Town receiving board funds. The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be structured as a not-to-exceed agreement, with fees broken down by project phases, though specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requiring integration. The selected consultant will be compensated based on the project's phased completion, with the Town reserving the right to select the provider that best meets their needs considering qualifications, service capabilities, and alignment with the Town's policies, programs, administrative resources, and budget constraints.
