LOWER ESOPUS CREEK FLOOD STUDY

Ulster County is seeking competitive proposals from qualified engineering consulting firms to perform a comprehensive update of the information associated with determining base flood elevations along the lower portion of the Esopus Creek. The Study area extends approximately 32 linear stream miles from downstream of the Ashokan Reservoir to the confluence of the Esopus Creek with the Hudson River and encompasses an estimated 230 square miles. Proposers should have significant experience in floodplain modeling and mapping as it relates to FEMA requirements. Experience in flood elevation modeling downstream of reservoirs or dams is preferred. Business enterprises awarded an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years: None.
