Dollar Value: $0.00 RFQ Number: Caledonia County Natural Resources Conservation District 481 Summer Street, Suite 202 St. Johnsbury , VT 05819 Bid Type: Request for Proposal Locations: Caledonia Keywords: Engineering , Stream Restoration, Environmental Conservation, Environmental Consultant Services Bid Description: Caledonia County Natural Resources Conservation District is seeking an engineering team to provide conceptual (30%) design services for the potential removal of the Jackson Dam in Hardwick, Vermont. The Town of Hardwick has expressed strong support for further evaluating the possibility of dam removal and associated river restoration in the context of discussions on town-wide resiliency. Additional information, regulatory review, funding analysis, and community conversation will still be necessary before any long-term decisions are considered regarding the future of the dam. If this dam is removed, it will be a large, expensive project and will require a unique approach. The 30% design phase will require a significant level of effort in terms of data collection, further discussion of feasibility and approach, design services, regulatory coordination, and public engagement. Special Instructions: The full RFP and feasibility analysis is available on our website, https://www.caledoniacountynrcd.org/request-for-proposals-jackson-dam-removal-design-services-hardwick-vt, as well as on the Hardwick town website at https://hardwickvt.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2026-03-13_JacksonDamMemo_V2.pdf. Additional data associated with the feasibility analysis, including drone footage of the impoundment during the annual winter drawdown, is available upon request. Please email Emily Finnegan at emily@caledoniacountynrcd.org to request this data. Proposals shall be submitted via email as a single PDF to emily@caledoniacountynrcd.org by 5:00 pm on Monday July 27, 2026. Proposals submitted by other means or past the deadline will not be considered.
