City of Bainbridge Island - Requests for Qualifications
Fletcher Bay Road (Springbrook Creek) Fish Passage Design Services

The City of Bainbridge Island (city) is soliciting qualifications from consulting firms with experience in designing and permitting culvert replacements with fish passage and stream channel restoration.

Background
The City of Bainbridge Island is seeking to develop preliminary & final designs to replace the Fletcher Bay Rd NE culvert on Springbrook Creek with a bridge and restore over 400' of stream channel (including the section of creek that is currently confined within the culvert). The crossing under Fletcher Bay Road NE is a partial fish barrier that includes a series of concrete weirs and bank armoring upstream and downstream of the undersized (5 ft. wide x 100 ft. long) steel culvert. Restoration of fish passage and in-stream habitat conditions at this location is the highest-priority restoration project in the watershed.
