Description
The Division of Ecological Restoration (DER) of the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game is seeking a qualified vendor to conduct preliminary field investigations at three tidal‑restoration sites in the Narragansett Bay region. The work includes project coordination, data review, site visits, topographic and bathymetric surveys, tidal‑logger deployments, sub‑surface borings (where needed), and the preparation of a technical memorandum and an existing‑conditions plan for each site. The effort is budgeted at approximately $50,000 per site, with contracts to be awarded in November 2026 and work to be completed by June 30 2027.
• Conduct project management and stakeholder coordination, including kickoff meeting and permission acquisition.
• Perform field data collection: topographic/bathymetric surveys (stamped by a MA land surveyor), 30‑day tidal logger deployments (minimum two per site), vegetation and wetland assessments, and sub‑surface borings for two of the three sites.
• Deliver a draft and final Technical Memorandum and a CAD‑based Existing Conditions Plan (stamped by a Professional Engineer), along with raw data files, GIS shapefiles, and concept‑design sketches.
