REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS - PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES: ENGINEERING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION SERVICESVILLAGE OF BULL CREEK WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT

The Village of Bull Creek, Missouri requests qualifications for main engineering design services and construction inspection services, to assist in a water infrastructure project to be fully financed with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

Background and Purpose

The Village of Bull Creek is located in the beautiful, rolling hills of the Ozark Mountains in southwestern Missouri. Based on the 2020 Decennial Census, the Village is home to 426 residents and is located roughly six miles from the City of Branson which sees nearly 10 million in visiting tourists each year. The predominant land uses in Bull Creek are primarily residential development and wilderness areas. The Village has an apartment complex located in the northeast, an RV Park to the south, and single-family homes to the central-southwest. Due to the Village of Bull Creek’s close proximity to several waterways, small creeks, and notably the nearby Bull Creek and intersecting Lake Taneycomo, the Village experiences increased environmental risks of flooding, stormwater management, and water quality concerns.

In 2005, the Village installed a new potable water system consisting of a new well, standpipe, and distribution system. Because this new system consisted of only one well, the Village did not (and does not) have any firm well capacity. Water system improvements, particularly the addition of a secondary well, are needed throughout the Village to ensure Village maintained potable water is accessible and safe for all. In July 2025, the Village was notified of its selection to receive CDBG funding to support the identified need for water system improvements. This project will consist of the installation of a new well in the southeast corner of town. This will include the construction of approximately 1,800 linear feet of 6-inch main to connect the proposed well to the existing standpipe.
