In-Lieu Fee Mitigation Program | Consultants and Contractors

Consultant/Design services

The Indiana Stream and Wetland Mitigation Program (IN SWMP) will require a variety of private-sector consulting and engineering services to identify, assess, plan, design, permit, construct/implement, monitor and maintain mitigation projects and perform the necessary habitat restoration, enhancement and/or preservation related tasks.

IN SWMP consulting and engineering needs will require contracts through the Indiana Department of Administration (IDOA) Division of Public Works process under the pre-qualification category below. All designers and planners for IDOA Public Works projects MUST be pre-qualified through the Public Works Certification Board. Pre-qualification requires submission of an application for review by the Public Works Certification Board members.

The Consultant Services pre-qualification category is “Wetland and Prairie Restoration”, which includes requirements for stream and wetland mitigation work experience and providing project successes.

Certification Board contact information, the consultant/designer pre-qualification application and the pre-qualified consultant/designer list can be found at IDOA’s Public Works website at https://www.in.gov/idoa/2483.htm .

If you provide these services and are pre-qualified with IDOA Public Works in the required category, we encourage your firm to share your aquatic resources restoration success stories that have been completed and successfully released from regulatory monitoring to DNR’s IN SWMP Team. Please email or call Carl Wodrich, Assistant Director, DNR Division of Land Acquisition. 

Any contactors and/or sub-consultants performing construction and/or maintenance on the ground for IN SWMP projects also need to be pre-qualified through the Public Works Certification Board under the 1799.22 - Wetland, Stream and Upland Restoration and Mitigation category. Pre-qualification requires submission of an application for review by the Public Works Certification Board.

Certification Board contact information, the contractor pre-qualification application, and the pre-qualified construction contractor list can be found at IDOA’s Public Works website at https://www.in.gov/idoa/2486.htm .

DNR IN SWMP will implement ecologically significant project designs that are subject to stringent regulatory success criteria. Experience in constructing natural stream designs, such as Rosgen, is highly preferred for DNR IN SWMP aquatic resource restoration project.

We currently have firms working in almost all of the service areas to assist the DNR with programmatic needs; however, if a pre-qualified firm/team has a potential project with a willing landowner that they feel would make an excellent mitigation/restoration project site for the DNR IN SWMP, or if you have any questions about DNR IN SWMP and our contracting processes, please contact Carl Wodrich, Assistant Director, Division of Land Acquisition.
