The Caledonia County Natural Resources Conservation District (CCNRCD) has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking an engineering team to assist with the next phase of technical evaluation and conceptual design work related to Jackson Dam and the Hardwick Lake area.
The project builds on the feasibility analysis completed earlier this year and will provide additional information about the site’s conditions, opportunities, and constraints. Work will include field investigations, hydraulic and hydrologic analysis, sediment evaluation, environmental review, FEMA benefit-cost analysis, conceptual design development, permitting coordination, and public engagement activities.
The purpose of this phase is to develop the technical information needed to evaluate potential future options for the site and support informed decision-making by project partners, community members, and local officials.
The selected engineering team will work with CCNRCD, regulatory agencies, and a local steering committee throughout the process. Community engagement will remain an important component of the project as additional information is gathered and alternatives are explored.
The Request for Proposals is available through the Caledonia County Natural Resources Conservation District website:
