Design Professional Services for St. Johns River Shoreline at Mayport

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (¿BOR¿) as (¿Administrator¿), on behalf of the University of Georgia, (¿Institution¿) is soliciting statements of Qualifications from firms interested in providing design professional services for a project known as Project No. ¿Design services to protect a vital shoreline at Mayport Village on the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, FL¿ which project is being carried out by Administrator and Institution on behalf of the United States pursuant to  AWD00018463.
A project description is provided below:
Project Context: State Road A1A is a singular and vital road connection into Mayport Village, a historic working waterfront community on the banks of the Saint Johns River in NE Florida. In addition to Naval Station Mayport, the Village hosts a major commercial seafood processing facility, the United States Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville¿s primary operating facility, a public marine science education center, the Saint John¿s Bar Pilots headquarters, extensive boat ramp facilities serving the offshore recreational fishing community, and a Ferry landing providing for vehicular transit across the Saint Johns River connecting key centers of coastal tourism. Unfortunately, these and other values that rely upon the resilience of this unique and historic community are at risk due to the extreme vulnerability of A1A at its point of arrival in Mayport Village.
Sea level rise and climate change are causing increasingly severe flooding in Jacksonville, Florida and the larger northeast Florida region associated with the Lower Saint Johns River Watershed. The North East Florida Transportation Planning Organization¿s (NEFL TPO) Mayport Resiliency Assessment describes some of the specific vulnerabilities that threaten the area around Mayport Village and Mayport Naval Air Station, with a particular focus on the State Route A1A corridor into Mayport Village. The Mayport Resiliency Assessment identified the segment of A1A closest to Mayport Village as the most significant concern of all road segments assessed surrounding Mayport Naval Air Station with significant impacts occurring with as little as half a foot of sea
