Anticipated services covered by the contract include: preparation of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents, including Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Statements and other related documents (e.g., Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Evaluations, Essential Fish Habitat Assessments, Endangered Species Act Biological Assessments) and specialized reports on specific ecological and physical resources, social resources (e.g., Environmental Justice), engineering, planning, or environmental issues. The contractor may be asked to perform logistics and facilitation to support public involvement for NEPA documents by providing meeting organization and facilitation services and organizing responses to public comments; geographic information systems (GIS) mapping; social effects (e.g., Environmental Justice) and recreation analyses and studies; coastal engineering and hydraulic modeling studies; mitigation and monitoring planning; economic analyses and studies; dredged material management planning; environmental/ecological modeling; air emission inventories/conformity analyses; and preparing master plans.

Field activities may also include collection of water quality measurements using equipment such as a multi-parameter sonde or secchi disk, wetland assessment and delineation, fish and wildlife identification, and SCUBA surveys.
