Lake Quonnipaug Management Plan Rfq/Rfp #3-2021 PROPOSAL FOR LAKE QUONNIPAUG MANAGEMENT PLAN RFQ/RFP #3-2021 SUBMITTED TO Town of Guilford, Connecticut 03/17/2021 G0622-P006 March 17, 2021 Kevin Magee Environmental Planner Town of Guilford c/o Office of the First Selectman 31 Park Street, 2nd Floor Guilford, Connecticut 06437 Re: RFQ/RFP #3-2021 – Proposal for Lake Quonnipaug Management Plan Dear Mr. Magee: Tighe & Bond is excited to have the opportunity to respond to this request for proposals for the preparation of a Management Plan for Lake Quonnipaug. For this response, Tighe & Bond is teaming with Aquatic Ecosystem Research (AER) to form a project team that provides the qualifications and experience necessary to develop a successful management plan for the lake. Our team’s focus will be the successful delivery of a Management Plan for the Town of Guilford that meets the schedule and budget requirements for this project. We will use a science-based approach with clearly presented steps for the Town and stakeholders to put into action. Below we have briefly responded to the RFP selection criteria to highlight our qualifications for this project: Technical competence: Our project team members have experience with the range of subject matter required to prepare a successful plan. We have subject matter expertise in aquatic plants, algae, lake management, water quality, stormwater quality, watershed nutrient loading, and municipal regulations. Experience in a variety of in-lake and watershed-based management programs, including traditional and emerging techniques: AER’s staff has experience with the full range of aquatic vegetation management techniques from chemical treatment to triploid grass carp. Tighe & Bond’s staff has experience with dam rehabilitation, dredging, stormwater management infrastructure, and watershed mapping and inventories with field electronic data collection. Track Record of Successful Stakeholder Coordination: Our project team routinely works for and with town officials and staff, state agencies, and nonprofit organizations. In our project examples we discuss how our work at Alexander’s Lake includes coordination with multiple stakeholder organizations. Performance Record: Tighe & Bond has many repeat and long-term clients based on our past performance with project work quality and schedule. One example is Holyoke Water Works, where Tighe & Bond has provided watershed protection services for twenty years, including the preparation and implementation of watershed and recreation management plans. Tighe & Bond has been fortunate to work with the Town of Guilford in the past, providing environmental consulting services for demolition of the old high school, and we are currently 213 Court Street, Suite 1100 • Middletown, CT 06457 • Tel 860.704.4760 www.tighebond.com working on pedestrian safety improvements at Church Street (Route 77) and Hubbard Road. We will leverage this experience working with the Town to “hit the ground running” and deliver this project efficiently for you. Tighe & Bond has reviewed the requirements of the RFQ/RFP and would like to point out that our professional liability is on a claims-made, not occurrence basis, and our deductible is $200,000. Please note, we are unable to provide additional insured status for the professional liability coverage. If selected, we would like the opportunity to negotiate mutually acceptable and insurable terms with the Town. Our RFQ/RFP response includes more information about our project team and our project approach. I hope we will have the opportunity to discuss the project with you if you choose to conduct interviews. Very truly yours, TIGHE & BOND, INC.

These water bodies provide important recreational opportunities, aesthetic values, and ecosystem services that contribute to the quality of life, environment, and economy of the state. Over the past 400 years, Connecticut has undergone significant alterations to its landscape. As a result of these mostly anthropogenic activities, including clearing of forests, agriculture, and urban and rural development, there have been significant impacts to the water quality of Connecticut’s lakes and ponds. While a natural process, the eutrophication of lakes caused by excess nutrient export in runoff has been, and continues to be, a pervasive problem (Siver et al., 1996).

As specified as charged in last year's legislation, the DEP did come out and looked at some of our recreat·ional issues on Candlewood Lake. In pretty short order, they didn't have a lot of·time to do a lot of r~search, but they did take an initial look at our.problems, worked with our elected leaders, and put together some recommendations which you folks received and I think was the gene~is of the Bill 5421-. I stress an initial look our proble.ms, because during that proce·ss, the_y did recognize that our recre.ational issues are beyond just the boat ·size on Candlewood, and they've committed to coming • back and speaking with us on and working with us on some of our other issues, which we are delighted about. Development of a vessel-size limit, a boat-length limit on Cai:ldlewood Lake will be an excellent first step in addressing some of our recreational and environmental issues on the lake.
