Project Scope Includes:
The Department of Watershed Management’s (DWM) Green Infrastructure (GI) Design Challenge advances Atlanta’s continuing efforts to implement GI in City watersheds. The GI Challenge aims to engage the design community to construct innovative and practical GI solutions in the City, foster City and community involvement, and provide environmental improvements and neighborhood enhancements. This challenge allows DWM to award innovative green solutions that would help reach the City’s runoff reduction and water quality while demonstrating feasible, constructible projects that can be replicated across neighborhoods.

Challenge teams will consist of a Landscape Architect, Civil Engineer, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), and a member of the impacted community. (Student participation also is
strongly encouraged).

Each team can submit a design concept for one or more projects. The City intends to award five different contracts for the six projects. The City may award each contract to different teams or can elect to award multiple projects to the same teams. A separate entry must be submitted for each project

Selected submissions will be based on how successfully innovation is balanced with practicality.
