Bridge_Spec_Summary.pdf

This is a bridge specification summary document supporting a civil engineering design and construction administration services contract opportunity for the Berlin Public Building Commission (PBC) in Connecticut, which is assisting the Timberlin Golf Course in designing and replacing six selected bridges. The project encompasses preliminary design for all six bridges, with subsequent phases including permitting, final design, and bidding/construction proceeding on a per-bridge basis or in bundled groups of two to four bridges. The PBC anticipates that funding may be phased over several years, and proposers are encouraged to provide cost information reflecting multi-bridge approaches to capture potential cost efficiencies when multiple bridges proceed together as a single project. Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses are focused specifically on designing the bridges to minimize flooding and meet permitting agency requirements, rather than conducting a comprehensive watershed analysis of the golf course.

The pricing structure is organized on a per-bridge approach following preliminary design completion, with the flexibility to accommodate bundled projects of multiple bridges. Proposers may submit additional cost information within their proposals, separate from the required pricing table, to reflect potential economies of scale for 2, 3, or 4-bridge groupings. The preliminary design phase is to be completed for all six bridges initially, establishing a foundation for subsequent project phases that may proceed individually or in groups depending on funding availability and project scheduling.
