Bush_Hill_Rd_Survey_&_Mapping_Limits.pdf

This is a Survey Services Request for Proposal issued by the Town of Manchester, Connecticut, seeking a qualified Professional Land Surveyor licensed in Connecticut to perform topographic field survey and base mapping services. The project encompasses a 1.7-mile (9,000 feet) section of Bush Hill Road between Hillstown Road and Keeney Street in Hartford County. The surveyor must deliver AutoCAD-formatted base maps depicting existing conditions within approximately 100 feet on each side of the road centerline, with extended coverage at intersecting public streets, and must establish a survey control traverse tied to the Town of Manchester Control Network. Deliverables include field-located features such as utility poles, traffic signals, railroad structures, buildings, trees, wetland delineations, and roadway markings to specified accuracy standards. The surveyor must also research existing roadway rights-of-way and identify property owners. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Town's OpenGov procurement portal by April 8, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with a questions deadline of April 5, 2026. The project coordinates with ongoing Keeney Street sidewalk construction work scheduled for substantial completion by Summer 2026.

Evaluation criteria allocate 50 percent of the score to demonstrated experience of the firm and key personnel and 50 percent to lump-sum pricing. Professional liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate is required. The Town of Manchester Living Wage Ordinance applies, requiring covered employers with 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 comprehensive health benefits.
