About this opportunity

The City of Beaverton, located in Gladwin County, Michigan, is soliciting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for comprehensive planning services specifically related to the Ross Lake Hydroelectric Dam. The procurement seeks a professional planning firm to develop and update critical dam safety documentation, including a Dam Safety Surveillance and Monitoring Plan, Inflow Design Flood Analysis, Dam Breach and Consequence Estimate, Supporting Technical Information Document, Potential Failure Modes Analysis, and Emergency Action Plan Update. Evaluation criteria will assess proposers across multiple dimensions, with a total possible score of 100 points, emphasizing understanding of city needs (25 points) and staff qualifications (20 points). The RFQ requires proposers to demonstrate extensive experience in land use planning for small Michigan communities, with submissions due electronically by October 3, 2024, at 3:00 pm. Potential contract award is anticipated at the City Council Meeting on October 21, 2024, with services expected to commence no later than November 2024.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. The project is funded through a Federal Emergency Management Administration grant and is critically important to the city, which relies on the hydroelectric dam for approximately 15% of its annual budget. The dam, previously damaged during the 2020 floods but subsequently repaired, is located downstream from the Chappel Dam and upstream of the Edenville and Sanford Dams. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, interested firms should be prepared to submit comprehensive proposals that address the technical and infrastructural needs of the dam safety planning project. Proposers will need to demonstrate technical expertise, responsiveness, and a thorough understanding of the unique challenges associated with managing hydroelectric infrastructure in a small Michigan municipal context.
