Bush_Hill_Rd_Location_Map.pdf

This is a location map document prepared by the Town of Manchester, Connecticut, dated February 25, 2026, depicting the survey limits for Bush Hill Road reconstruction. The map shows a 1.7-mile (9,000 feet) section of Bush Hill Road extending between Hillstown Road and Keeney Street in Hartford County. The map indicates the approximate survey boundaries and identifies surrounding features including Gerald Drive, Bell Street, Keene Street, and the boundaries between Manchester and Glastonbury town lines. The map notes that original plan, isometric, and topographic data were compiled using stereophotogrammetric methods from photography dated April 1999 in accordance with ASPR accuracy standards for large-scale Class I mapping, and that GIS data updates are performed on a continual basis. The Town of Manchester solicited proposals from qualified Professional Land Surveyors licensed in Connecticut to perform topographic field survey and base mapping services for this project section, with proposals due electronically by April 8, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., and a questions deadline of April 5, 2026.

The surveyor must prepare AutoCAD-formatted deliverables depicting existing conditions within approximately 100 feet on each side of the road centerline, with extended coverage at intersecting public streets, and must establish survey control tied to the Town's Control Network while field-locating existing features including utility poles, traffic signals, railroad structures, buildings, trees, wetland delineations, and roadway markings. Evaluation criteria include demonstrated firm and key personnel experience (50 percent) and lump-sum pricing (50 percent). Professional liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000 per claim and in aggregate is required. The Town of Manchester Living Wage Ordinance applies, requiring covered employers on service contracts exceeding $25,000 in any fiscal year to pay eligible employees $17.78 per hour with comprehensive health benefits or $26.07 per hour without such benefits, with exemptions available for firms with fewer than 25 eligible employees, annual contract values under $25,000, or tax-exempt status. Bidders must submit a Living Wage Certification form, IRS Form W-9, and a sample basemap demonstrating competency with similar roadway corridor projects. The contract award value is not disclosed in available documentation. The project coordinates with ongoing Keeney Street sidewalk construction anticipated for substantial completion by Summer 2026.
