Description

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking a qualified Respondent for professional planning services to develop a water trail plan for the Upper North Raccoon River, approximately 58 miles. Each water trail project will have its unique issues and nuances, and the DNR can’t capture every possibility that may come along within the Statement of Work. The DNR does expect, however, the Respondent selected will be able to appropriately incorporate the salient pieces of information, as well as the more nuanced and unique pieces uncovered during the planning process. To review past water trail plans, go to: https://www.iowadnr.gov/things-todo/canoeing-kayaking/water-trail-development. Respondent must have background in natural resources planning and AICP accreditation or a Landscape Architect with ASLA accreditation. Respondent must also be adept at graphic design and GIS mapping. The product deliverables must be in Adobe Creative Suites or Adobe Creative Cloud. A thorough understanding of ESRI desktop and online tools, such as, ARCGIS Online, Survey 123, and others is required in order to collect and disseminate information and finalize maps. And finally, in order to provide project continuity, the planner/project manager and team members identified in the proposal must not change, except for reasons beyond the control of the respondent, such as, sickness, employment change, etc. The planner/project manager is expected to be at each meeting, event, or function, and must be the direct point of contact with DNR project manager.
