South Fork Ditch Creek Fish Passage Project

Trout Unlimited is seeking a qualified consulting firm to design, permit, and support construction of a fish‑passage restoration on the South Fork of Ditch Creek in Wyoming. The work includes developing alternatives, completing environmental compliance documents, obtaining permits, producing 60% and 90% design packages, and providing on‑site construction support. Two existing culverts block passage for Snake River cutthroat trout; the project aims to replace them with a stream‑simulation crossing that also improves roadway safety and drainage. The consultant must deliver a phased scope from kickoff through final design and construction assistance, with a mandatory site visit on 20 Oct 2026 and a bid deadline of 6 Nov 2026. • Scope: alternatives analysis, environmental permitting, preliminary (60%) and detailed (90%) engineering design, final design, construction‑phase support. • Deliverables: design drawings, hydraulic and geomorphic analyses, permit applications, cost estimates, construction observation reports. • Schedule: kickoff Nov 2026, concept alternatives Jan 2027, 60% design Mar 2027, 90% design May 15 2027, construction support thereafter. • Required qualifications: minimum five fish‑passage project references, Wyoming business registration, experienced personnel. • Evaluation: 40% qualifications, 40% technical approach, 20% fee.
