Boardman River Wall Study

The City of Traverse City is soliciting proposals for performing a field investigation of the Boardman River Wall, located on the south side of the Boardman River, between Union St. and Cass St. (100 Block), along with recommendations and cost estimates for potential improvements to the wall. The scope of work includes surveying services, field investigation, geotechnical and structural analysis, concept level design, and cost estimates. The selected firm will be required to enter into a Consultant Agreement for this project. • The City has some existing survey information in the area that was performed in 2021. • The original wall installation plans from 1931 are included in the project documents. • The City would like to explore options for the retaining wall for the 100 Block, including but not limited to improvements to the wall (if needed) and removal of the wall to naturalize the adjacent embankment. • The selected firm will be expected to comply with all applicable State and Federal laws in the performance of services. • The City reserves the right to waive any informality or defect in any proposal, to accept any proposal or parts thereof or to reject any or all proposals.
