AI Summary
City of Aspen seeks professional engineering services for structural stability and stress analyses of Maroon Creek Hydro Gravity Concrete Dam to support FERC relicensing. The RFP requires 3D structural and geotechnical analysis with regulatory compliance focus. Proposals due June 12, 2026.
The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to solicit professional engineering services to prepare a supplemental engineering analysis and memorandum in support of the Supporting Design Report (SDR), as required under section 4.41(g)(3) of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulations for the Maroon Creek Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 10441). This effort supports the City of Aspen’s ongoing hydropower relicensing activities and responds to an Additional Information Request (AIR) issued by FERC related to Exhibit F requirements. The resulting engineering analysis and memorandum deliverables must demonstrate that project structures are safe and adequate to fulfill their design-intended functions and must be suitable for independent regulatory review by FERC. The City is seeking a technically defensible evaluation that includes three-dimensional (3D) structural analysis and appropriate characterization of project features. The primary emphasis of this effort is on rigorous structural and geotechnical engineering analysis that provides a clear, well-documented basis for demonstrating structural stability under applicable loading conditions and supporting regulatory review. The City encourages proposals from firms with strong expertise in structural, geotechnical, and hydraulic engineering, including firms that may supplement their teams with regulatory or dam safety experience, as appropriate. **Solicitation Type**: RFP - Request for Proposal (Formal) **Source ID**: PU.AG.USA.2143.C15144676 **Piggyback Contract**: No **Question Acceptance Deadline**: 06/05/2026 02:00 PM EDT **Questions are submitted online**: Yes **Bid Submission Type**: Electronic or Physical Bid Submission **Owner Organization**: City of Aspen **Solicitation Number**: 2026-197 **Reference Number**: 0000425347 **Pricing**: Lump sum **Bid Documents List**: | Item Name | Description | Mandatory | Limited to 1 file | |---|---|---|---| | Bid Documents | Documents defining the proposal | No | No | **Pre-Bidding Events**: Event Type: Prebid Conference | Attendance: Recommended | Event date: 06/01/2026 12:00 PM EDT | Location: Microsoft Teams (link below) | Event Note: A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams, at 10:00 a.m., on June 1st, 2026.
