Laramie River - Jelm WHMA Restoration and Boat Launch

The Laramie Rivers Conservation District is seeking professional engineering services for the design and rehabilitation of a segment of the Laramie River within the Jelm Wildlife Habitat Management Area. The goals of the rehabilitation are to improve water quality, improve wild brown trout habitat, reduce bank erosion, and improve boating access. The selected design alternative will improve boating access without moving the boat launch site and will reduce streambank erosion, improve the width/depth ratio, increase the number of pools, increase pool depth, and increase available trout habitat. The project will involve multiple tasks, including design development, 60% design, and complete design, as well as construction oversight and optional services such as cultural resource surveys and wetland delineations. • The project is located within the Jelm Wildlife Habitat Management Area, approximately 26 miles southwest of Laramie, Wyoming. • The project involves the rehabilitation of a segment of the Laramie River to improve water quality, wild brown trout habitat, and boating access. • The selected design alternative will improve boating access without moving the boat launch site. • The project will involve multiple tasks, including design development, 60% design, and complete design, as well as construction oversight and optional services. • The project schedule and timing constraints are outlined, with the optimal construction window being July through September.
