The objective of this RFP is to identify and select a design-builder that will successfully
and safely complete the engineering and construction of the West Creek Project
according to schedule; in accordance with the project’s permitting requirements; with the
highest quality design and construction – all while providing the best possible value to
the District. The purpose of project is to design and construct the site restoration and
stormwater improvements to the land area contiguous to the West Creek channel known
as the Confluence Site.
The project as envisioned will stabilize and rehabilitate approximately 1,000 feet of
stream channel and convert the available contiguous land areas into a combination of
stormwater treatment wetlands and hydraulically-connected floodplains.
Stream restoration objectives at this site are to improve stream stability and create
riparian and floodplain habitat by reconfiguring the stream using natural stream design
principles. Stream restoration will be combined with stormwater retrofits to reduce storm
flow and negative water quality impacts to West Creek. Improvements to the riparian
buffer and creating access to the channels floodplain will improve habitat and water
quality and reduce bank erosion. Specific goals for the restoration project set by the
District include:
•
•
•
•
Design and build a new stream channel with a stable dimension, pattern
and profile
Provide direct access for the creek to the floodplain throughout the reach
Design and build adjacent riparian wetland to capture and store out of
bank flows
Design and build water quality wetlands to accept stormwater flows from
upstream impervious areas at existing outfalls located on-site.
