A government agency in Utah is seeking qualified consulting firms to conduct a construction feasibility study focused on identifying optimal locations for public fishing access and fisheries habitat enhancement. The selected consultant will perform a comprehensive analysis to determine the most suitable sites for constructing new access points, ensuring both safety and convenience for the public while enhancing aquatic habitats.

The scope of work includes site identification and screening, physical and geotechnical assessments, as well as evaluations of environmental, biological, and historical factors. The consultant will also assess recreational access, engineering feasibility, and regulatory requirements. Key deliverables encompass GIS shapefiles and detailed maps of all considered sites, a technical report summarizing findings with tables and figures, a comparative matrix ranking sites by factors such as cost, environmental impact, and angler access benefit, and concept-level engineering drawings for up to three potential jetty or pier configurations. Planning-level cost estimates and a presentation to agency staff and stakeholders are also required.

Questions regarding the feasibility study must be submitted by January 15, 2026.
