Geneva Drinking Water Plant Floodplain Restoration Project Feasibility Study

The County of Ontario, in partnership with the Seneca Watershed Intermunicipal Organization, is seeking a qualified engineering firm to conduct a feasibility study and produce an Engineering Design Outline for floodplain restoration adjacent to the Geneva Drinking Water Plant on Seneca Lake. The study will include hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, conceptual design alternatives, and a final report due by April 30 2028, with a contract term of 15 months and a budget of $45,000. MWBE participation is encouraged, and a pre‑proposal site visit is scheduled. • Scope: H&H modeling, floodplain restoration design, draft & final reports, optional stakeholder engagement. • Funding: $45,000 grant from NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (including $18,000 earmarked for MWBE/SDVOB participation). • Timeline: Pre‑proposal meeting/site visit 10/29/2026; questions due 11/12/2026; proposal due 12/15/2026; award expected ~1/30/2027; final report due 04/30/2028. • Deliverables: Draft report for review, final Engineering Design Outline, model summary, optional outreach minutes. • Requirements: Demonstrated experience in floodplain restoration, hydrologic modeling (e.g., HEC‑RAS), appropriate insurance, and compliance with NYS labor and MWBE goals.
