SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF BID
FLOODPLAIN STUDIES FOR
STREAMS WITHIN THE UPPER ROCK AND LOWER ROCK WATERSHEDS,
AND STREAMS WITHIN EAU CLAIRE, CHIPPEWA AND RUSK COUNTIES, WI
A. Bid Overview: The WI DNR’s Floodplain Management program is soliciting bids for services in three
separate areas of the state. This bidding process will be used to select up to three different
contractors to perform both new detailed floodplain studies for numerous streams within the Upper
Rock River and the Lower Rock River watersheds and in Eau Claire and Chippewa Counties, and to
model and map a select number of streams in those locations and for other streams in Rusk County
(as deemed appropriate and necessary) using an approximate mapping process. The priority of
stream locations and stream lengths being considered for detailed studies were determined through
input from local communities and regional WDNR engineering staff. There are more potential stream
miles that require completion of studies, maps and models than the agency believes may actually be
possible to complete due to project funding limitations. Because of this fact the actual stream
locations and mileage that will be assigned to each awarded contractor for each separate area of the
state will not be determined until after the bids have been received and bid prices have been
evaluated. The agency will have to use the bid prices to determine the best combination of stream
studies for each awarded region that can be accomplished based on the funding limitations. Vendor’s
are encouraged to provide bids for any or all of the three subject areas for which contracts will be
awarded.
B. Contract and Contract Term: The result of this bid process will be multiple contracts between the
selected vendors and the Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR). The initial contract period
will cover the time from bid award through June 30, 2012. This contract will be initiated through
issuance of a Department Purchase Order (PO) document and will include all of the terms and
conditions listed and attached to this bid document, as well as any other terms necessary to clarify the
contract requirements and as deemed to be in the best interests of the agency. Your signed bid
response will be your offer to provide the required services and our PO document and attachments
will be our acceptance of your offer. Initiation of services upon receipt of the PO will be deemed as
your firm’s acceptance of any contractual clarifications attached or referenced to/by the PO
C. Firm Prices: Prices submitted on each Bid Price Sheet will be held firm for the entire contract period.
D. Clarification and/or revisions to the specifications and requirements: Any questions
concerning this RFB must be submitted in writing (e-mail preferred) on or before April 25, 2011

the time period/dates the work was conducted. A bidder’s failure to provide a completed
DOA-3478 Vendor Reference form or a bidder’s failure to supply references which support
their firm’s ability to meet the requirements of this bid are all grounds for elimination of their
bid from further consideration.
Since knowledge of FEMA standards and use of modern technologies are key aspects of this
project, each reference may be checked to ensure these requirements have been met in the
past. Unfavorable references for the floodplain project may constitute grounds for
disqualification of bidders. Bidders shall also submit a completed Vendor Information
Form (DOA 3477). The Department's determination that the bidder lacks adequate
experience, capital or equipment necessary for the satisfactory completion of the work shall
constitute sufficient cause for disqualification as an eligible bidder. In addition, past
performance on similar projects will be assessed and, if determined deficient by the
Department, shall constitute sufficient cause for disqualification as an eligible bidder.

I.
Method of Award: Due to the size of each project area and the volume of work associated
with each project area, the agency desires to limit the number of contracts awarded to any
single vendor and as such plans to limit vendor awards to only one contract and project area,
unless the number of qualified bids preclude following this plan. Contract Awards will be
made to the responsive and responsible bidders judged as being qualified to provide the
needed services and who have submitted the lowest “Total Average Cost per Mile, Bid
Amount” covering all bid line items as indicated on each of the three Bid Price Sheets for this
project. If any of the low bids submitted do not meet the required Bidder Qualifications it will
be rejected and the submission of the next lowest bidder for that project area will then be
reviewed for compliance with Bidder Qualifications. This process will be repeated as
necessary until a qualified responsive and responsible low bidder is determined for each
project area. If any of the vendors submitting bids are determined to be the lowest responsive
and responsible bidder for more than one project area, the agency may determine which
project area to award to the low bidder and then make it’s award in a second and possibly
third project area as necessary to the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder for those
project areas as appropriate. If such a scenario occurs the agency will make the awards
based on the combination of qualified bids that result in the lowest “Total Average Cost per
Mile, Bid Amount” for the total of all three project area awards.
J.
How to get on the State of Wisconsin’s Bidders List: Vendors are directed to the State of
Wisconsin’s computerized vendor information system, ”VendorNet”, for additional electronic
copies of this bid package, and for information on receiving automatic notification of all state
agency procurements over $25,000 in a vendors particular area of interest. The web address
for VendorNet is http://vendornet.state.wi.us. If there is a need to solicit bids for additional
services upon the completion of the contract initiated by this procurement, only vendors
registered with “VendorNet” will receive automatic notification of the bid. Your firms’ receipt of
this bid in the mail does not guarantee receipt of future bids for these services.
K. Certification for Collection of Sales and Use Tax: The State of Wisconsin shall not enter
into a contract with a vendor, and reserves the right to cancel any existing contract, if the
vendor or contractor has not met or complied with the requirements of s. 77.66, Wis. Stats.,
and related statutes regarding certification for collection of sales and use tax.
L. Minority Business (MBE) requirements: The State of Wisconsin is committed to the
promotion of minority business in the state's purchasing program and a goal of placing 5% of
its total purchasing dollars with certified minority businesses. Authority for this program is
found in ss. 15.107(2), 16.75(4), 16.75(5) and 560.036(2), Wisconsin Statutes. The
contracting agency is committed to the promotion of minority business in the state's
purchasing program. The State of Wisconsin policy provides that minority-owned business
enterprises certified by the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, Bureau of Minority Business
Development should have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of its
contracts. The supplier/contractor is strongly urged to use due diligence to further this policy
by awarding subcontracts to minority-owned business enterprises or by using such
enterprises to provide goods and services incidental to this agreement, with a goal of
awarding at least 5% of the contract price to such enterprises.
M. Appeals Process: The appeals procedure applies only to those requests for bids that are greater
than $25,000. Notices of intent to protest and protests shall be made in writing. Protesters shall
make their protests as specific as possible and should identify statutes and Wisconsin Administrative

RFB #A-030-08
SPECIFICATIONS/SCOPE OF WORK
FLOODPLAIN STUDIES FOR
STREAMS WITHIN THE UPPER ROCK AND LOWER ROCK WATERSHEDS,
AND STREAMS WITHIN EAU CLAIRE, CHIPPEWA AND RUSK COUNTIES, WI
1. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has contracted with the Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources (WDNR) Floodplain Management program through their Cooperating Technical Partners
(CTP) agreement and Risk MAP funding source. WDNR is tasked with coordinating all of the work to complete
new Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRM) and Flood Insurance Studies (FIS) for a number of streams
within the Upper and Lower Rock watersheds and for some streams in Eau Claire, Chippewa and Rusk
counties in Wisconsin. The work will be separated into three projects and each project will be contracted
separately. The three projects are: the Upper Rock Watershed, the Lower Rock Watershed and Eau Claire,
Chippewa and Rusk Counties.
The scope of work for the Eau Claire, Chippewa and Rusk County projects includes two parts; detail and
approximate studies. The stream miles and study types are listed in Appendix A and are also included in the
“contractor” shapefile available for download from our web page at
http://dnr.wi.gov/org/water/wm/dsfm/Flood/RiskMap.html. The scope of work may be adjusted to change some
of the study miles from approximate to detail if final awarded bid prices allow for it.
Currently the scope of work for the Upper and Lower Rock Watershed projects listed in Appendix A and
available for download from our web page at http://dnr.wi.gov/org/water/wm/dsfm/Flood/RiskMap.html include
only streams to be studied with detail study methodologies. Limited funds are available, so if final awarded bid
prices come in high, we may need to change some of these from detail studies to approximate studies. This
is why we are asking for a price to be submitted for both types of studies.
2. SCOPE OF WORK
The objective of this Flood Map Project is to conduct flood studies along numerous streams in the Upper and
Lower Rock watersheds, and Eau Claire, Chippewa and Rusk counties. The work shall be completed in
accordance with the “Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners” and Procedural
Memorandums. These references are available online at www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/gs_main.shtm and
http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/gs_memos.shtm.
General: The Contractor shall conduct field reconnaissance of the specific study area(s) to determine the
parameters needed for the hydraulic analysis. Because of the volume of work for each project area, we don’t
expect each chosen vendor to do all the work in their project area at one time, but rather expect that the work in
their project area will be clustered into pieces and submitted separately.
A. Detailed Study Area(s): The Contractor shall perform detailed hydraulic analysis for many of the streams
identified in the shapefile that is accessible from the WDNR’s website at
http://dnr.wi.gov/org/water/wm/dsfm/flood/RiskMap.html . The Contractor will be responsible for obtaining
detailed survey of in-channel survey and structure openings, in accordance with FEMA standards and DNR
specifications (Task 1 – below). The modeling for this detailed hydraulic analysis will include the 10-, 2-, 1-, and
0.2-percent-annual-chance events. The Contractor shall map the 1- and 0.2-percent-annual-chance floodplain
boundaries, regulatory floodway boundaries, cross sections, base flood elevations, and the profile base lines.
B. Approximate Study Area(s): The Contractor may be selected to delineate the 1 percent-annual-chance
floodplain boundaries for the flooding sources identified in the shapefile data accessible from the WDNR’s
website at http://dnr.wi.gov/org/water/wm/dsfm/flood/mapping.htm. The stream locations and mileage will be
determined after the bids have been received. Final awarded bid prices will dictate the number of stream miles
that can be studied and mapped. The Contractor shall use the guidelines presented in Appendix B.
2.1 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
•
•
•
•
•
FEMA has published performance standards that correspond to various levels of risk. The significance of
risk classes is discussed further in Subsection 7.4.2. of the MHIP document (Version 1 - November, 2004).
The Multi-Year Flood Hazard Identification Plan (MHIP) can be downloaded or viewed at
http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/mh_main.shtm. Mapping quality standards must be consistent with

3. PAYMENTS
Invoices will be accepted from awarded vendors for payment at the end of each month during the course of the
contract. These invoices must include the Purchase Order (PO) number assigned to that vendor’s project area
contract. The Contractor will submit to the DNR Project Manager a brief progress report that summarizes the
accomplishments for each time period being billed along with an original and one copy of the invoice. Each
invoice must clearly show the services being billed and include a breakdown of the invoice total by project task
as detailed in Section 2.8 above and further by assigned stream sections.
Eighty percent (80%) of the amount of each approved monthly invoice will be paid under the states standard net
30 payment terms. The remaining twenty percent (20%) of each approved monthly invoice will be held back for
payment with the Contractors final invoice/payment request. No further monthly invoices will be accepted after
eighty percent (80%) of the not-to-exceed contract total amount as shown on their PO has been paid to the
vendor. Please note that the not-to-exceed contract total amount for each project area will be calculated based
on the Average Cost per Mile Bid Amounts, the actual stream sections assigned to the Contractor for their
awarded project area and the type of studies required (new detailed or approximate) for those assigned
streams.
A final invoice will be accepted for payment upon the completion of all four tasks listed in Section 2.8 above and
after the completion of any required deliverable deficiency corrections that may be required under the
performance standards listed in Section 2.1 above. In no event will the payment of a final invoice amount be
allowed which would cause the total vendor amount paid under this contract to exceed the contract total amount
indicated on the Purchase Order (PO) that initiates this contract for services. The final Contractor
invoice/payment request should indicate the holdback amounts due along with requests for payment of any
services not covered by previous monthly invoices, subject to the not-to-exceed contract total amount.

WDNR Guidelines for Approximate Studies
Overall approach to hydraulic modeling
Attempt to make a reasonable hydraulic model from the available terrain data, keeping in mind that this is
Approximate mapping. All engineering modeling decisions are based on the more conservative answer
given the range of choice available to the modeler. Therefore, use the following default for development
of Zone A mapping:
1. The channel definition will be added to the extracted cross sections based on available DOT bridge
plans or other data that will provide an approximatation of the channel size and depth. A channel
mannings N value shall be assigned as well.
2. The default, when bridge/culvert data is available will be to replicate the bridge plans into the hydraulic
model. When bridge plans are NOT available, the bridge opening will be approximated with a notch to
represent the width of the apparent bridge or culvert., (Inline structure in RAS) This gives the best
approximation for the effect of the constriction of the structure opening. The downstream cross section
should be a distance from the road grade so that the entire cross section can be considered for effective
flow. (The rule is 1:1 ratio from each abutment, especially downstream of the road.) The upstream
cross section can be placed as the RAS guidance directs, because the cross sectional area will be used to
balance energy upstream.
3. The default will be to NOT use ineffective flow limits. The extracted cross sections should therefore
be placed so that the entire cross section can be considered effective. Error on the side of making the
cross section shorter rather than longer if you believe that making it longer will add ineffective areas to the
cross section. The procedure should be to locate cross sections at natural valley constrictions, away from
backwater areas and old oxbows that you would not consider effective. Using ineffective limits overly
complicates the model, and may actually cause an error in balancing energy grade due to the fact that we
are not getting surveyed channel sections and/or extracting cross sections at an adequate distance. Make
all assumptions on the conservative side with regard to the flood elevation calculation.
We recommend that development of the hydraulic model and floodplain mapping be performed using
ArcMap 9.3.1 using the Hec-GeoRAS 4.3.93 or greater extension.
Note: These are the steps that DNR staff use for Approximate mapping. We are including this in
the bid as a reference, but following this exact procedure is not mandatory. Contractors are able
to use their own tools as long as the result is the same as what we would get using the process
outlined below.
HEC-GeoRAS GEOMETRY SETUP
1. Gather the 5’ foot DEM from DNR staff. All DEMs will be projected to State Plane, NAD83, feet.
2. Save the project in a unique directory and reset the target locations if ‘saving as…’ from an
existing project so that pre-RAS layers will be written to unique geodatabase.
3. Define the coordinate system for the project to State Plane South, NAD 83, feet for the Rock
watersheds and State Plane Central, NAD83, feet for Eau Claire, Chippewa and Rusk county
projects.
4. Create Stream Centerline layer. Create a profile baseline layer by digitizing the stream centerline
from the DOP. Ensure connectivity and direction of line(s). Attribute all river reaches.
5. Create Flowpath Centerlines layer. Click ‘yes’ to copy stream centerline. Do not extract left and
right flowpaths! For the channel flowpath, follow the direction of flow, especially if the channel is
very sinuous. Do not follow the stream centerline, especially if the channel is shallow compared to
the projected 100 year flood depth. In most cases, the 24k centerline should be fine. Do not
create a left or right flowpath in GeoRAS.
6. Create XS Cut Lines layer. Digitize cut lines so there is at least 10 feet from the channel bottom.
7. Create Inline Structures layer (to be used if DOT plans are not available). RAS will be set-up to
model only the road grade as a weir. This should NOT be a bridge/culvert. Only add a bridge or
culvert, (use Bridge/Culvert layer instead), IF the RAS solution with the default ‘Inline structure’
method is not a reasonable solution. The default method is to: a. digitize top of road cross
section, b. add a notch in the road grade equal in width to the measured width of the structure on
the base map Ortho, (this step is done in the HEC-RAS model, below), c. Populate NodeName
with the road name, d. Measure and populate USDistance and TopWidth from ortho (enter in
Coordinate system units), and e. Select the correct terrain DEM in the Layer Setup menu.
8. Run XS Cut Line Attributes -> All .(except Bank Stations.)
9. Run Manning’s N Values -> Extract N Values using the statewide N layer based on the dissolved
Wiscland polygons used for CN data. Alternatively, ONE Manning’s N value may be used for
each XS if the engineer prefers to ‘visually’ determine roughness values from the Ortho. (The ‘N
layer’ is only to be used as a tool to efficiently build the RAS model, it does NOT replace
‘engineering judgment’ for roughness values to be used in the model.) If a channel is entered, a
channel mannings N must also be assigned.
10. Run Inline Structures -> All (or Bridges/Culverts -> All if modeling structure openings).
11. Run Extract GIS Data.
HEC-RAS MODELING
1. Create a new HEC-RAS project (leave units as US Customary).
2. Import the GIS2RAS.RASImport.sdf file in the geometric data window (File -> Import Geometry
Data -> GIS Format…). Import data as coordinate system units (so they will be converted from
metric to US Customary if necessary). Round river stations to zero decimals.
3. Go to Tables -> Reach Lengths… Copy the Channel column to the LOB and ROB columns.
4. Open Inline Structure and/or Bridge/Culvert Data editor. Fix weir coefficient if necessary.
Estimate high chord elevation (single elevation) from DRG, RMs,. Manually add a notch in the
TOR data at this step, as defined in step 6. above. DO NOT use ineffective flow limits on the
upstream and downstream cross sections! Locate sections an appropriate distance from the
road grade so that the assumption of full conveyance across the entire cross section is valid.
5. Calculate 100-year discharges at key locations (either Regression/basin comparison, or HMS).
Quickly QC watershed delineation, longest flowpath, and parameter values. Enter discharges into
the HEC-RAS model.
6. Enter downstream boundary condition for the model. Use a known water surface if available.
Otherwise use normal depth. For the normal depth slope, use the slope between the lowest
contour crossing to the next contour.
7. Run the model and review the results. If possible, eliminate critical depths using interpolated
cross sections.
8. Export the GIS data (File -> Export GIS Data…).
HEC-GeoRAS MAPPING
1. Convert the RAS .SDF file to an .XML.
2. Run RAS Mapping -> Layer Setup. Create a New Analysis, specify the RAS export file (XML),
specify the terrain Grid, and specify the output directory. When using a DEM, the Rasterization
cell size will be automatic.
3. Run RAS Mapping -> Read RAS GIS Export File.
4. Open the cross section attribute table and convert the flood elevations from meters to feet if
necessary. Note, you can recalculate the elevation field using the original values (i.e. PF1 =
PF1*3.2808). (Have not tested this in ArcMap).
5. Run RAS Mapping -> Inundation Mapping -> Water Surface Generation.
6. Run RAS Mapping -> Inundation Mapping -> Floodplain Delineation. (Do not choose to smooth
at this point)
7. If there are portions of the floodplain that get cut off between sections (i.e up tributaries), you can
extend the cross sections and bounding polygon and rerun the delineation. First delete the WS
TIN, depth grid, and floodplain polygon from the project. Manually overwrite the water surface TIN
by creating a new one in 3D Analyst from the modified cross sections. Rerun step 5.
8. Convert GeoRAS output polygon to lines (shapefile).
9. Convert lines back to polygons. This creates a small poly where there were previously islands, or
holes in the delineation.
10. Create a new field and calculate the Area for each polygon.
11. Select all polygons that are less than 2000 square feet. With all of these small island polys
selected, manually go through and select the major floodplain polygons as well. Merge all
selected polys together. This will eliminate most of the unwanted islands.
12. Convert this singlepart layer to a multipart layer.
13. From the multipart layer, go through and manually select the major floodplain polys (for a simple
study this could just be one polygon). Export these selected polys to another shapefile. This
effectively removes all of the ‘puddles’ on the outside of your main floodplain polygon delineation.
14. Up to this point, all layers are temporary scratch files. Convert the exported poly layer to a line
and save as your 100-year line layer (this is where all edits are made before smoothing). Perform
all remaining necessary edits, such as removing additional unwanted islands, connecting
subterranean gaps, fixing very shallow areas where the LiDAR delineation just doesn’t come out
well, etc. Keep the original GeoRAS output displayed (semi-transparent) so that you can
constantly see where original islands, puddles, gaps, etc. were.
-A note on removing islands – before removing any additional islands, check the ortho for
a structure or subdivision (if something there, do not remove). Consider whether any
island of significant size has contours inside it (i.e. contours higher than the flood
elevation). If there are no contours, place much less significance on it.
15. Smooth the lines using the PAEK smoothing method w/ a 20 meter smoothing tolerance.
