Morgantown Trash Removal Initiative Project

The City of Morgantown is seeking Statements of Qualifications from qualified engineering firms to provide professional design services for the Morgantown Trash Removal Initiative. The selected firm will assist in the design of a debris removal system that addresses both natural and anthropogenic materials, with a focus on environmental sustainability and operational feasibility. The system is intended to intercept and remove floating trash and debris from the Monongahela River before it flows further downstream. • The system design may include boats or other equipment, so long as the design is acceptable to the US Army Corps within the restricted zone of the dam. • The design may also include a semi-autonomous solution that uses a combination of hydro and solar power to continuously remove litter and debris from the water. • The selected firm will be responsible for providing comprehensive engineering and design services, including site assessment and data collection, feasibility study, technology evaluation, system design, permitting support, cost estimation, and stakeholder coordination.
