This is a Request for Letter of Interest (LOI) from the Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) for Construction Engineering & Inspection (CEI) services for Project 172-544. The document solicits qualifications from consulting firms capable of providing comprehensive engineering and inspection services for a transportation construction project. The request calls for interested parties to submit letters of interest by the specified deadline, with selection of the consultant to follow a qualifications-based process. The contract will involve on-site inspection, quality assurance, and engineering support throughout the construction phase of Project 172-544, with the term extending for the duration of the project's construction activities.

The LOI process is the initial phase of consultant selection, preceding formal proposals and pricing submissions. Interested firms must demonstrate relevant experience in transportation construction projects, adequate staffing resources, and technical capabilities in construction engineering and inspection. The Connecticut DOT will evaluate submissions based on qualifications, experience, and past performance, with pricing to be negotiated following consultant selection. This procurement follows Connecticut's standard consultant selection procedures for federally-funded or state-funded transportation projects, ensuring competitive evaluation of qualified engineering firms capable of managing construction oversight responsibilities.
