- Description
- The US Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), intends to issue an award on a sole source basis (IAW FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)) to Limno-Tech, Inc. 501 Avis Drive, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48108-9799. The effort is to design a workshop to evaluate innovative floodplain management strategies for operational water control by identifying and evaluating innovative approaches to floodplain management. The contractor must have experience with research, development, and special studies to predict environmental quality for civil works and government agencies. The contractor must have capabilities to furnish all labor for tasks to conduct a workshop drawing lessons learned from the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB) including: (1) Optimize levee district performance; Assess the potential for agricultural levee districts to contribute to watershed and mainstem river management, including utilizing detention basin functionality during non-crop seasons and distributing nutrient-laden sediments onto cultivated fields. The workshop shall address the relevance to systems beyond the UMRB. (2) Enhance ecosystem services; Evaluate how managed floodplain restoration projects can be adapted to optimize water management for habitat enhancement (winter/summer flow adjustments) and nutrient reduction, potentially generating revenue streams through hunting rights or nutrient credit trading. (3) Risk-based flood management; Utilize modern hydrologic modeling and spatial analysis to classify levee district flood risk (low, medium, high, very high) and explore voluntary flooding programs in lower-risk districts as a means of sediment/nutrient reduction and flood risk redistribution. (4) Modeling and analytical tools; Present and apply relevant modeling approaches (NSM, SWAT+, CASM) to assess the effectiveness of project alternatives and inform decision-making, with consideration for applicability across diverse river systems. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 541715 � Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology with 1000 employees). This notice of intent to sole source to the Limno-Tech, Inc. is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement. Technical data sufficient to determine capability in providing the same or similar service shall be considered. All capability statements received by the closing date of this publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Capability statements shall include the notice number in the subject line and be submitted only by-email as a Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel, or Adobe PDF attachment to Shinita.M.Jordan@usace.army.mil and Sonia.J.Boyd@usace.army.mil Statements are due by 1:00 Central Time, Tuesday September 16, 2025.
