GREEN BAY – During its most recent meeting, the Green Bay Common Council voted to approve a request by the Department of Public Works to enter into an agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to implement the “Tank Farm Marsh” project and to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with GEI Consultants, Inc. for oversight at a cost of $225,000.
“The city has been working with WDNR and GEI since 2022 to complete the design of the Tank Farm Marsh project. This phase of the project is for implementation, including construction of the marsh and subsequent maintenance and monitoring through March 31, 2029. The project is funded by grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through WDNR,” a memo to the council from city staff stated.
“The city will provide in-kind services to administer the project. GEI’s services will be reimbursed by WDNR in accordance with the grant agreement.”
The scope of services includes bid document preparation, preparation of Quality Assurance Project Plans, permitting support, administration of construction contracts, construction oversight, post-construction monitoring, public and stakeholder engagement and supporting the preparation of regulatory and grant reports.
The "Tank Farm Marsh" project is being implemented to create a habitat that can support plants and animals that are native to the area and enhance the ecosystem, rid non-native species and create a public space.
