This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) document issued by the Town of Brookfield, Connecticut, acting through Brookfield Public Schools, soliciting professional engineering services for fuel oil storage system upgrades at two school facilities. The scope of work encompasses evaluation, design, and construction administration for existing heating oil underground storage tanks (USTs) at Whisconier Middle School and Brookfield High School. The services required include existing-conditions investigation, alternatives analysis (comparing underground storage tank removal versus abandonment-in-place for two 10,000-gallon USTs), complete design services incorporating civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and environmental components, permitting assistance, bidding-phase support, and construction administration. A mandatory pre-bid site walkthrough is scheduled for Thursday, June 4, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., beginning at Whisconier Middle School (15 West Whisconier Road) and followed by Brookfield High School (45 Long Meadow Hill Road). Sealed proposals are due June 29, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. EDT. The Town anticipates selecting a consultant in 2026, with design to proceed immediately thereafter and construction to follow completion of bidding and Town referendum approval.

The design must comply with Connecticut General Statutes, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection regulations, NFPA 30 and 31, UL 142 and UL 2085, and 40 CFR Part 112, and must minimize disruption to ongoing school operations. The selected consultant must provide Professional Liability insurance (minimum $2,000,000 policy limit), General Liability insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence with the Town named as additional insured), and Worker's Compensation insurance at statutory limits. All materials, supplies, equipment, and services are guaranteed for one year from acceptance, with defects or deterioration to be repaired, adjusted, or replaced at the respondent's expense. Payment will be made within 30 days of invoice receipt following inspection and acceptance. Proposals will be evaluated on firm qualifications, relevant project experience, project understanding, approach, team composition, and fee structure. Neither bid bond nor payment and performance bond is required. Questions should be directed to Julian Capadose at 203-775-7323 or purchasing@brookfieldct.gov.
