Summary: Contract #17-31-105 is a Request for Proposals for professional engineering services to study, define, and propose practices to mitigate non-point source (i.e., stormwater runoff) pollution at the Powderhorn Lake site in Burnham. Understanding and mitigating stormwater impacts will allow the Preserves to improve and restore the hydrology of the site, thereby halting the degradation of this important native fish and migratory bird habitat. The Preserves received a total of four (4) proposals.
The Preserves assembled a review panel which consisted of various Preserve staff, who considered Hey & Associates’ proposal the most responsive, with particular strengths in experience, expertise and performance capacity as it related to the work as requested in the contract specifications.
The project is being partially funded through a grant received from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ Coastal Management Program, which was previously approved by the Board of Commissioners on 12/13/2016.
