Status: Awarded

Solicitation Number: 2025-15

Description: PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
The City of Carlsbad has been dealing with an on-going issue with invasive aquatic vegetation growth in the Pecos River that is creating problems for individuals using the river for water related activities, such as boating, swimming and water skiing.

The City has sought several solutions to this problem, including introducing large numbers of grass carp to eat the vegetation. However, this did not prove to be an effective method for controlling the vegetation growth.

The process of removing the vegetation from the bottom of the river mechanically requires special skills, knowledge and equipment.

Due to the on-going need for this service, the City is conducting an RFP to select a contractor to perform this important service on an on-going as needed basis.
