This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) 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 includes evaluation, design, and construction administration for existing heating oil underground storage tanks (USTs) at Whisconier Middle School and Brookfield High School. Sealed proposals are due June 29, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. EDT, with a mandatory pre-bid site walkthrough scheduled for June 4, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. The walkthrough will include visits to both Whisconier Middle School (15 West Whisconier Road) and Brookfield High School (45 Long Meadow Hill Road). The solicitation encompasses existing-conditions investigation, alternatives analysis (underground storage tank removal versus abandonment-in-place for two existing 10,000-gallon tanks), complete design services integrating civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and environmental components, permitting assistance, bidding-phase support, and construction administration. 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, while minimizing disruption to school operations.

The Town anticipates consultant selection in 2026, with design proceeding immediately thereafter and construction to follow completion of bidding and Town referendum. Proposal evaluation will be based on firm qualifications, relevant project experience, project understanding, approach, team composition, and fee structure. The selected consultant must provide Professional Liability insurance with a minimum $2,000,000 policy limit, General Liability insurance of $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. 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.
