This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Town of Brookline, Vermont for engineering design services related to a culvert replacement project on Grassy Brook Road (TH-10). The project involves the design of a replacement culvert for an existing 24-foot-long, 74"x120" corrugated metal pipe structure over Grassy Brook. The selected engineering firm will be responsible for conducting site visits and field assessments, reviewing the provided Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H&H) study, designing replacement culverts with associated headwalls and road base restoration, and designing a temporary bypass to maintain road access during construction. The firm must prepare construction-ready plans and specifications, provide cost estimates, identify applicable codes and permitting requirements, and prepare bid documents for structure construction. All deliverables must be completed to facilitate construction of the structure in 2027. Proposal submissions should include a cover letter and firm profile, relevant experience documentation with culvert design and VTrans-funded projects, resumes of key personnel, a composite schedule detailing all work activities and hour estimates, and a cost proposal.

The project is funded through a VTrans Structure Grant, which covers the engineering services phase. The RFP requires that the selected firm deliver a cost-effective design aligned with the H&H study recommendations and in accordance with ANR specifications. Proposals must demonstrate the firm's qualifications and experience with similar projects, including work on VTrans-funded initiatives. The required deliverables include site assessment reports, design drawings and specifications, construction cost estimates, a summary of permitting and regulatory requirements, and bid documents for the structure construction.
