I. INTRODUCTION

Request for Proposal Consulting & Engineering Design Services PROJECT: Abandonment/Removal of Dike Penetrations and Encroachments at the Former MIRA Waste to Energy Facility

CRDA# 26-010

South Meadows, Hartford, CT 06120

PROPOSAL DUE DATE: November 18, 2005

TIME: 1:00 PM

The Capital Region Development Authority (“CRDA”) is undertaking Abandonment/Removal of Dike Penetrations and Encroachments at the Former MIRA Waste to Energy Facility. CRDA intends to enter into a contract with a qualified Engineering Consulting Firm to provide engineering services for this project.

Background CRDA is a quasi-public agency of the State of Connecticut working to encourage the redevelopment and economic expansion of the Hartford region, including oversight of housing construction and other economic development projects. CRDA owns and/or manages various sports and entertainment venues and parking facilities. Effective June 30, 2025, Public Act 25-168 made CRDA the successor to the MIRA Dissolution Authority (“MDA”) with regards to MDA’s South Meadows Site.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

As the new owner of the former MIRA Waste to Energy Facility located in the South Meadows section of Hartford, the CRDA now owns infrastructure within the Hartford Flood Protection System (“HFPS”) located on the site. Such infrastructure includes various penetrations of the HFPS. Until such time as the penetrations are either removed or properly abandoned, the CRDA is required to implement an Operation, Inspection and Maintenance Plan (“OIMP”) to ensure the continued integrity of the penetrations, and to make any repairs when any conditions that threaten the floodwall integrity are identified. Among the obligations within the OIMP are inspections required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”) of encroachments and penetrations through the floodwall and levee, including infrastructure associated with the historic operation of the South Meadows Power Plant dating back to its initial construction and start-up in 1921.

The HFPS was constructed in the mid-1940’s and includes a concrete floodwall and earthen dike along the eastern boundary of the Waste to Energy Facility property with the Connecticut River.

Steel sheet piling is installed below the concrete floodwall and within the earthen dike. The sheet piling acts to minimize water flow through porous soils from the river side to the land side of the HFPS. The sheet-pile barrier beneath the concrete floodwall was installed around the pre-existing concrete intake and discharge tunnels for the historic power plant. For all other water intake, discharge and fuel conveyance pipes, the sheet-pile barrier was installed and then holes were cut to

Abandonment/Removal of Dike Penetrations and Encroachments at the Former MIRA Waste to Energy Facility – RFP Page # 4 install the piping through the sheet-pile barrier. There are twelve (12) such pipe penetrations of the sheet-pile barrier.

Other infrastructure encroaching on the river side of the HFPS includes but may not be limited to:

three screen houses, a coal barge unloader, historic foundations for coal handling infrastructure, sheet piling associated with the cooling water discharge canal, fuel piping and supports, stormwater discharge piping, metal stairs, walkways and railings, utility wires, conduits, catwalks, fencing, railings and gates. Other infrastructure encroaching on the land side of the HFPS includes but may not be limited to: water tanks, historic coal handling structures, metal stairs, walkways and railings, lighting, and utility wire, conduits, ladders, and catwalks.

VII. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS

1. If you elect to respond to this RFP, submission of your proposal constitutes your acceptance of the following understandings:

a. Proposals must be signed by an authorized officer of the proposer. Proposals must also provide name, title, email address and telephone number for (i) individuals with authority to negotiate and contractually bind the entity, and (ii) those who may be contacted for the purpose of clarifying or supporting the information provided in the proposal.

b. This RFP is not an offer or commitment, and neither this RFP, the RFP process nor any subsequent negotiations shall give rise to any commitment or obligation on the part of CRDA or confer any rights on any proposer unless and until a binding written agreement is executed by CRDA and the proposer.

c. CRDA reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to (i) to reject any or all proposals received in response to this RFP for any reason and at any time; (ii) to waive any irregularities or deficiencies in any proposal; (iii) to discuss a proposal or enter into negotiations with any proposer without notice to other proposers; (iv) to suspend or discontinue any such discussions or negotiations at any time; (v) to extend, reopen, modify, cancel and/or reissue this RFP; (vi) to enter into discussions or negotiations with parties not responding to the RFP without first rejecting all proposals received in response to this RFP;

(vii) to discuss, negotiate and enter into agreements with more than one proposer or any other party with respect to different responsibilities; and (viii) to use the proposals as a

Abandonment/Removal of Dike Penetrations and Encroachments at the Former MIRA Waste to Energy Facility – RFP Page # 11 basis for negotiation and to negotiate with one or more proposers on terms other than set forth in this RFP or in any proposal.

d. Proposals should be submitted on the most favorable terms from a technical, qualifications and price standpoint. CRDA will select for negotiation the proposal(s) that best meet its needs. While cost will be a factor to be considered, CRDA is not required and reserves the right not to accept the lowest priced proposal.

e. CRDA will not be responsible for any expenses incurred by any proposer in conjunction with the preparation or presentation of any proposal with respect to this RFP or proposer’s participation in the RFP process, all of which shall be at the proposer’s sole cost and risk.

f. CRDA is a “public agency” for purposes of the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”). Accordingly, upon receipt at the office of CRDA, your proposal will be considered a public record or file subject to disclosure under the FOIA. The FOIA includes an exemption for responses to a request for proposals in a contract award process until the contract is executed or negotiations for the award of such contract have ended, whichever occurs earlier. CRDA has determined that it is in the public interest to maintain the temporary confidentiality of proposals pursuant to this FOIA exemption.

The FOIA also includes exemptions for “trade secrets” and “commercial or financial information given in confidence, not required by statute.” This exemption allows, but does not require, CRDA to withhold information that qualifies under these exemptions, which exceptions remain available so long as the information continues to be treated by the submitting party as confidential and is not readily available to the public from other sources. Only the particular information falling within one of these exemptions can be withheld by CRDA if made the subject of a public records request under FOIA. Therefore, a proposer must specifically identify those particular sentences, paragraphs, pages, sections or exhibits that it claims to be exempt, together with a convincing explanation and rationale sufficient to support the claim of confidentiality for purposes of Section 1-210(b) of the Connecticut General Statutes in terms of the prospective harm to the competitive position of the submitting party if such information were to be released. In the absence of such identification and explanation, any claim that particular information is exempt from FOIA disclosure will be deemed to have been waived. If a public records access request is made, CRDA is required to, and reserves the right to, determine (i) whether information included in a proposal qualifies under these exemptions, and (ii) whether to withhold the information.

Proposers should be aware that (x) CRDA has no obligation to initiate, prosecute or defend any legal proceeding or to seek to secure any protective order or other relief to prevent disclosure of any information pursuant to an FOIA request, (y) the proposer will have the burden of establishing the availability of any FOIA exemption in any such legal proceeding, and (z) in no event shall CRDA or any of its officers, directors or employees have any liability for disclosure of documents or information in the possession of CRDA which CRDA, or such officer, director or employee, in good faith, believes to be required pursuant to the FOIA or other requirements of law.

Abandonment/Removal of Dike Penetrations and Encroachments at the Former MIRA Waste to Energy Facility – RFP Page # 12

In the event of a public records request for a proposal, CRDA may provide a copy of the proposal with all or part of the information redacted for which an exemption has been claimed on the basis of confidentiality. For this purpose, CRDA may request, and each proposer by submission of a proposal agrees promptly to provide to CRDA, a version of such proposal from which all information has been redacted for which an FOIA exemption based on confidentiality has been made.

g. Except as otherwise expressly provided in an agreement with CRDA, each proposal and any work product developed under a contract awarded as a result of this RFP shall be the sole property of CRDA.

This RFP, the RFP process, and any contract awarded pursuant to this RFP are subject to all other applicable legal requirements.

2. If you elect to respond to this RFP, you will be deemed to have certified the accuracy and completeness of the following representations and warranties:

a. Neither proposer nor any of its principals (i) has been convicted of bribery or attempting to bribe a public official of the State of Connecticut; (ii) has been found to have violated the State Code of Ethics for Public Officials or Lobbyists (the “Code of Ethics”); (iii) has been suspended or disqualified from bidding on contracts with the State of Connecticut or any department, agency or quasi-public agency of the State of Connecticut; (iv) has knowingly committed any violation of the Code of Ethics or of any other procurement requirement in connection with this RFP; or (v) is in default under any contract with any department, agency or quasi-public agency of the State of Connecticut.

b. Neither proposer nor any of its principals has received or paid, or agreed to receive or pay, any finders’ fee (Section 3-13j through 3-13l of the Connecticut General Statutes) or other compensation or benefit from or to any third party in connection with this solicitation, procurement or award of a contract with CRDA pursuant to this RFP.

c. Neither proposer nor any of its principals has provided anything of value to any officer, employee or board member of the CRDA, or any state public official or employee who may be involved with the RFP, for which full payment has not been made.

d. (i) The proposal is not made in connection with any competing proposer submitting a separate response to this RFP and is in all respects fair and without collusion or fraud;

(ii) the proposer did not participate in the RFP development process and had no knowledge of the specific contents of the RFP prior to its issuance; (iii) no officer, employee or board member of CRDA participated directly or indirectly in the proposer’s proposal preparation;
